Mark your images as yours
Add a text watermark to an image (your name, brand, or a

opacity. It's the simple way to protect photos and graphics you post publicly,
or to label a proof before sending it to a client.

Is the Watermark Image tool private?
Yes. Your file is uploaded over encrypted HTTPS, processed, handed back, and then deleted — the upload goes the moment the Watermark Image operation finishes and the result the instant you download it, with an hourly sweeper as a backstop. Unlike closed tools that just claim they don't keep your files, Forge Files's code is fully open source, so you can verify exactly how the Watermark Image tool handles your data — or self-host it. No account, no watermark, no upsell. See our privacy details for the full picture.
