What to know

This editor works with layers rather than a fixed stamp. You can add a text layer, an image layer such as a logo or a scanned signature, and a drawn signature layer, then mix them on one picture. Each new layer appears selected near the lower right corner, about 5 percent in from the edges, ready to drag.

Corner handles resize a layer and keep its proportions; holding Shift stretches it freely, and the arrow keys nudge the selected layer. Send backward and Bring forward change which layer sits on top, Remove selected layer deletes one, and an Opacity slider from 10 to 100 percent fades each layer separately. A text layer is white by default and has a color control, so dark text can be used on a bright photo.

Text is drawn with a heavy system font whose height follows the layer height and whose width is stretched to the layer width, so freely dragging a text box wider also makes the letters wider. The drawn signature has its own box: switch on Draw in box, sign with the pointer, then finish drawing. A minimum layer size of about 2.5 percent of the shorter image side stops marks from shrinking to nothing.

The export is flattened into the pixels of a copy in the source format at quality 0.92, with PNG as the fallback for AVIF or SVG input. Layers are not saved for later editing, so keep the original photo. An empty text layer blocks export until you type something or delete it.

  2. Drag the layer to a corner, pull a corner handle to resize, and set Opacity to 60.

  4. Press Apply signature and download the flattened copy.

Quick answers

Can I keep the layers to edit later?

No. The download is a flattened image, so the marks become part of the pixels. Keep the original photo and re-apply if you need changes.

Why does my text look stretched?

The text is fitted to the layer box, so dragging a corner with Shift held widens the letters without changing their height. Drag a corner without Shift to keep the proportions.

How do I put a mark below another one?

Select the layer and use Send backward or Bring forward. Layers are numbered in the list, with later ones on top by default.

Is there a way to tile a watermark across the image?

There is no tiling or rotation. Add several layers and place each one where you want it.
