What is Video Watermark?

Video Watermark places text and/or an image logo on your video. Add both at once, drag each to any spot, set size and opacity, and choose whether the mark shows for the whole clip or just a time range. Great for branding or protecting original footage. Processing stays private on your device.

Text watermarks are drawn on a canvas in the font style of your choice (sans, serif, mono, italic, bold italic, or condensed), with an optional contrasting outline that keeps them readable on bright or dark footage. Image watermarks accept PNG with transparency, scaled to a percentage of the video width. Enable a text mark, an image mark, or both together in one pass — each layer has its own position and opacity. Drop the mark in one of five preset spots, drag it anywhere with the Custom position, or switch on Tile to repeat it across the whole frame for stronger protection. Both layers support a 0 to 360 degree rotation, and an optional time range shows the watermark only between a start and end point. A live preview shows the first frame with your settings applied before you run the encode, and after a result is produced you can tweak the settings and re-apply without re-uploading the source.

How to use

1. Upload the video you want to watermark.
2. Turn on a text mark, an image mark, or both. For text, type your message and pick a font style, size, and color, and turn on the outline so it stays readable on any background. For image, upload your logo. Set each layer's position, opacity, and rotation, drag it on the preview for an exact spot, or switch on Tile to repeat the mark. Optionally limit it to a start and end time. The live preview updates as you adjust.
3. Click Apply Watermark and download the watermarked video.

When to use

• Branding client preview videos with your studio logo before sending for review.
• Adding a copyright notice to original footage before uploading to social media.
• Marking timelapse exports or B-roll with a date stamp or project code.

Result

You're sharing a preview of a client video. Add your studio logo at 30% opacity in the bottom-right corner so the video is branded but not obstructed.

FAQ

Can someone remove the watermark from the exported video?

A determined editor with content-aware tools could crop, blur, or paint over a corner watermark. For stronger protection, place it center-screen at lower opacity, or turn on Tile to repeat the mark across the whole frame so there is no clean spot to cut.

Why does my image watermark look blurry?

Likely the source PNG is smaller than the rendered size at your chosen scale. Use a logo file at least 1000 pixels wide, and the scale filter will downscale cleanly rather than stretching pixels upward.

Will the watermark cover important parts of the video?

Place it in a corner with opacity around 60-70%, large enough to read but small enough to ignore. The preview before export shows the exact placement, so adjust position and size before processing.

Can I add a logo and a text mark at the same time?

Yes. Turn on both Text and Image and each gets its own position and opacity, then both are burned in together in a single pass. You can also place each one freely with the Custom (drag) position by dragging it on the preview.

Does watermarking change the video's quality or length?

Length stays identical. Quality drops slightly because the file is re-encoded at H.264 default CRF, which is visually transparent. File size may grow by 5-10% depending on how complex the watermark is to encode.
