Watermark image

A line of text over the picture: a corner or the centre, faint or bold.

How to watermark image

  1. Drop the images.
  2. Type the text; pick the position and the strength.
  3. Press Watermark and download.

What happens to your file

The text is drawn over the pixels at the position and strength you chose, sized to the picture, and the image is saved in the format you asked for. From then on it is part of the picture — not a layer anyone can switch off.

Your original is not changed; the watermarked copy is a new file with the same name.

Questions

Can I use a logo instead of text?

Not yet — text only. An image mark is on the list.

Can a watermark be removed?

Not from this file: it is baked into the pixels. Keep your original; publish the marked copy.

Do it once, not on every form

A form that wants a square JPEG under 240 KB says so on the page. The Fylane extension reads that, fits your photo to it, and puts it in the field — without you working out what 240 KB looks like.

And it keeps the result. The next application that asks for a résumé, a cover letter and a photo fills all three from one tap, each one refitted to what that site accepts.

Your files stay in the browser, encrypted, on your machine. Nothing is uploaded to keep them and nothing is sent anywhere to fill a form.

Filmed from the extension: a phone portrait against a form that takes only a square JPEG under 240 KB.

Add to Chrome — freeWhat it does

Do this in code

curl -X POST https://api.fylane.dev/v1/jobs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FYLANE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "file_id": "<file id>",
    "operation": "image.watermark",
    "options": {
      "text": "© Your name",
      "position": "bottom-right",
      "opacity": 0.55,
      "format": "same"
    }
  }'

The same operation, image.watermark — A text watermark at a chosen corner and opacity. Answers WebP unless `format` says otherwise. Upload first with the quickstart; every option is on the operations page. 500 free credits a month, then $5 per thousand.
