There are many specialized programs for adding watermarks to pictures, and there are also many graphic editors that support this function. So you may think that adding watermarks to photos is a relatively easy task. However, it is not easy to find a satisfactory tool. This mainly involves whether the functions and operations meet your needs.

Visual Watermark is a unique, novel and easy-to-use batch photo watermark adding and management tool for Windows and Mac platforms, developed by Iuliia Nikitina from Poland. Compared with many similar applications (such as PhotoMarks, uMark, TSR Watermark Image, Star Watermark), its interface is simpler, the operation is simpler, and the execution is very fast, supports saving pictures in a variety of common formats, and can write copyright metadata into pictures.

Visual Watermark can add complex text and image watermarks to pictures. For text watermarks, it has hundreds of built-in fonts and allows you to download more fonts, and you can modify the font color, size, rotation, transparency, tiling method, and add symbols (including various formatted strings) and 2 special effects. For logo watermarks, you can load the logo from file or gallery, and modify the color, size, transparency, rotation, and tiling method of the watermark, as well as add two special effects.

// Key Features //

Feature	Description
Supported formats	Visual Watermark app supports JPEG, PNG, TIFF, GIF and BMP image formats. RGB, CMYK 8bit and color managed pictures are supported. Watermarked images are saved in RGB color space. The app auto-rotates images based on its Orientation tag value. Preserves EXIF and IPTC information in JPEG files. Supports 100% JPEG quality. Doesn’t use chroma sub-sampling when saving to JPEG format to preserve the best possible colors.
Add text to photo	Add name, company and brand text to images. Make a watermark with all fonts, installed in your system. Ships with up to 926 font families (depends on the app edition). Supports normal, italic, bold and bold italic font styles. Our watermark software allows you to change size and position using visual drag-n-drop editor.
Insert logo to photo	Watermark photos using your company logo. Supported logo formats are JPEG, PNG, TIFF, GIF and BMP. If your logo file has an opaque background, you can remove it using Visual Watermark. If you don’t have your logo yet, you can choose one of our sample logos.
Watermark batches of photos	Batch watermark a group of images at once. Simply drag all images you need to copyright into Visual Watermark. Our app will watermark images at once. Modern computers have 2 or more processor cores and can complete several tasks at once. Our tool watermarks images using all processor cores for even better performance.
Scale watermark up and down automatically	Visual Watermark supports full-res and cropped images in the same batch. Auto-Size feature changes watermark size for smaller and bigger images. You can turn this option on and off on the Output Settings screen.
Create copyright metadata	Use our watermarking tool to add your copyright metadata to photos. Attaches contact details to your pictures. Your customers will be able to read the copyright record from a downloaded photo with Preview app on Mac, or File Details screen on Windows.
Resize pictures	Use this feature to produce low-res images for publishing online. We don’t recommend publishing high resolution photos to ensure nobody can access them.
Rename photos	Gives different filenames to processed files. Use it to give meaningful names to files ready for sending to a client. Visual Watermark can replace “DSC03682.JPG” with prettier “Jim and Sophie 1.jpg” filename.
Watermark images from Photos and iPhoto apps on Mac	Visual Watermark for Mac accepts dragging files from iPhoto. Select and drag images into the app window. This will select images for watermarking. Click Add Pictures button to select photos for watermarking from the Photos library.
Add robust watermarks	Visual Watermark can randomize watermarks to ensure they cannot be removed by automated image watermark removal algorithms.
Use built-in logos and fonts	Visual Watermark comes with 60 built-in logos and 926 fonts. Use them to design your own unique watermark.
Add watermark effects	Includes 66 effects combinations. All of them respect transparency, tile and rotation settings. You can apply effects to both company logos and text watermarks.
Add text shadow & background	Use shadow and background effects to make the watermark look good on both dark and light backgrounds in the same batch. A semi-transparent background or shadow adds necessary contrast around the text and logos.
Make transparent watermarks	Visual Watermark supports 100 levels of transparency: from opaque to completely transparent. Use this feature to make your watermark less obtrusive at the expense of some durability. Check our guide that shows how to find the right combination of transparency and protection.
Fill a photo with tiled watermarks	Tile feature repeats the watermark on your images until they’re completely filled with it. Enable this feature on the second screen. Tile Span option controls space between tile repetitions. Repeated watermarks look their best if slightly rotated.

This will include image number as a part of your watermark. Add Symbol menu allows you to add filename, date the picture was taken and total number of images as well.
Position watermarks automatically and manually	Visual Watermark will place the watermark into the same position for all images in the batch. If some images need a custom watermark position, you can adjust it using Preview dialog. It is available on the 3rd program screen.
Add vertical and rotated watermarks	Sometimes image watermarks are less unobtrusive if aligned along the left or right side of the photos. Use Rotate option on the second screen to rotate your watermarks.
