Watermarkly – A Watermark Creator Review
Boost your photo watermark with an easy-to-use online tool
When you post your beautiful and amazing shot-of-a-lifetime photo online, you increase the chance other people will use it for their own use without your permission.
One way to protect your photos is to watermark them with your brand using text or logo.
Sure, you can use MS Powerpoint, MS Word or a graphical design program to insert the text or logo. But you will have the tedious clicking and moving the watermark to where you like to be. Also you will not have the consistency across all the photos.
This is where I found Watermarkly.
Watermarkly offers easy-to-use image styling features right in your browser with your logo or text so you can create professional, consistent and stylish watermark on your photos.

With Watermarkly, you can easily create custom watermark such as your own logo or use one of 962 premium fonts for all your watermarking needs.
Jumpstart your photo watermarking with flexible position placement and easy-to-use watermark image styling editor, all available on the Watermarkly platform.
The best part? No software downloads required.
You can also upload a batch of photos from your computer, google drive, google photos or dropbox and batch watermark them in one go.
Easily edit the watermark for your portfolio or blogging website in one place with Watermarkely’s browser-based platform.
Professional layout options and image styling tools let you choose fonts, colours, size, rotation, watermark density and apply effects to your watermark in just a few clicks.
Since it is all stored within your browser using secure https connection, there is no software to be installed on your computer so you can use it whether you have a Windows or Mac or Linux computer. The photos are not stored with Watermarkly so they won’t have access to your files. The photos you have uploaded belong to you – always will be.
It even remembers your previous watermarking template and lets you choose which previous 10 template to reapply.
No more future messy around!
Once you done, you can preview your handy work and make refinements before exporting the watermarked photos.
In the export settings, it lets you choose whether to reize the photos to certain dimensions and even lets you choose the JPEG quality.
If you need to watermark lots, lots and lots of photos at the same time, there is a desktop app available for Windows and Mac. I haven’t tried it but on the website, it said the desktop app can easily process up to 50,000 photos at a time.
Awesome for the heavy users!
