Batch processing in Watermarkly is incredibly convenient. You can add a watermark to an entire set of images in one go.

With our free watermarking app, you can easily combine text and logos in your watermark, add your brand name, include copyright symbols or image numbers.

Automatic & Manual Watermark Position
Watermarkly automatically scales watermarks depending on the orientation and size of your images. Smaller photos get a smaller watermark, larger photos get a bigger one. You can disable the auto-scale option if you prefer or change watermark placement for each photo in the batch.

Manage your files
Click “Add Files” if you need to upload more photos. Click “Clear” to remove all uploaded images. If you’ve uploaded a picture that you don’t need, hover over it and click the trash icon to delete it. Once all your files are uploaded and you’re ready to add a watermark, click “Next Step.”
