A text watermark can identify the source of an image as it moves through a workflow. It can also cover the exact feature a customer wants to inspect. Treat the label as part of the composition: choose what it needs to say, where it can fit and whether the destination allows it.<\/p>\n

\"Watermark
Keep the product readable. Original explanatory illustration; not a screenshot.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Start with permission and purpose<\/h2>\n

Use photographs you own or are authorized to adapt. Adding your store name to someone else’s image does not create ownership or permission. A watermark is also not a reliable record of a license. Keep the original source and permission information separately, as described in the product image preparation workflow<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Decide whether the text identifies your business, a sample or an internal proof. An internal “DRAFT” label should not accidentally appear in a published listing. Check the actual marketplace or store rules before uploading: a tool’s ability to add text does not establish that a destination accepts it.<\/p>\n

Keep the label short<\/h2>\n

Open a permitted image in the product image editor<\/a> and enter a concise text watermark. A short brand name is easier to place than a full promotional sentence. Avoid claims that the photograph itself cannot substantiate, such as “official,” “certified” or “best quality.”<\/p>\n

Choose from the positions the current tool provides and generate an output. Read the result at normal display size. A corner can be unobtrusive on one photograph and busy on another, especially where the product fills the frame. The visual editor tutorial<\/a> shows the watermark control and the output step.<\/p>\n

Protect the useful detail<\/h2>\n

Do not place text over model numbers, measurements, safety labels or a material texture the image is meant to show. If no position works without hiding something useful, use a different source composition or leave the label off that view. Enlarging a watermark until it dominates the image may identify the brand clearly while making the gallery less informative.<\/p>\n

Check the lightest and darkest parts behind the text. A label that looks legible on a pale background may disappear over the product edge. Resize the image for its intended use before judging the final text size; tiny thumbnail text is not a useful substitute for the product title beside the image.<\/p>\n

Save the labeled copy separately<\/h2>\n

Download the result with a name that distinguishes it from the original. Keep a clean master for channels that require an unmarked image, and do not use a watermarked export as your only source for later edits. A text overlay becomes part of the exported pixels; this editor does not maintain editable layers or offer watermark removal.<\/p>\n

Finally, review the whole gallery for consistent labeling without forcing the same position onto every composition. See the image dimension guide<\/a> if resizing has changed the balance of the image.
