Add a watermark to a video

How to add your logo

1. Add the video.
2. Add the logo file below the settings.
3. Choose a corner and a size, then press Add the logo.

Picking a good logo file

A PNG with a transparent background is by far the best choice: the mark sits on the picture instead of on a white or black rectangle. A JPEG works, but carries its own background and needs a matching corner or a coloured block behind it.

Use a version with clean edges rather than a screenshot of your website header. Something around 300 to 600 pixels wide is plenty: the tool scales it down anyway, and a huge file only slows the upload.

Size and position

The size is set as a percentage of the video width, so the same logo looks right on a phone clip and on a 4K export. Around 15 % is the usual watermark: readable, but not the first thing the eye goes to. 30 % is a branding block, closer to a title card than a mark.

Bottom right is the default because faces, titles and captions usually sit elsewhere. Top left is the second safest. Centre marks are for protection, not for discretion — they sit on the subject.

It is burned in, and that is the point

The logo becomes part of the picture: it survives re-upload, re-compression, screenshots and downloads, which is exactly what a watermark is for. The counterpart is that it cannot be removed later, from this file. Keep your original: the tool never modifies the upload, and the job deletes it as soon as it is done.

Because the logo is fixed for the whole clip, this is not the tool for a mark that appears at a specific moment or moves across the screen. It applies one still image, at one place, from the first frame to the last.

Combining it with the other tools

Order matters if quality matters. Resize first, add the logo second: the mark is drawn at the final resolution and stays sharp. If you add the logo and then resize, the logo is scaled down with everything else and loses a little definition.

For a preview you send to a client, add the logo, then compress the result to a size the e-mail or chat accepts.

What happens to your files

Both the video and the logo are deleted as soon as the job ends, and the result within the hour. No account, no e-mail, no gallery of your files anywhere.
