Video Watermark

Overlay a logo or image watermark in the corner of a video before you post it.

How Video Watermark works

Putting your mark on a video before it goes out is how you keep credit attached to it. A logo in the corner tells viewers who made a clip once it gets reposted, discourages people from passing your work off as theirs, and gives a client-ready or branded feel to plain footage. Screen-recording software and phone editors make this fiddly. This tool overlays your logo or image onto the video and exports a finished file with the mark burned in.

Add your video, add the image you want as the watermark, choose which corner it sits in, and run it. The watermark is placed with a little breathing room from the edge so it does not crowd the frame, and it stays in that corner for the whole clip. When it finishes you download a new video with the mark permanently part of the picture.

Because the watermark is composited directly into the frames, it cannot be toggled off or stripped out the way a separate overlay could be, which is the point. The tool scales your image to a reasonable size against the corner and re-encodes the video to a broadly compatible MP4 at a sensible quality level, so the footage stays sharp and the logo sits cleanly on top. A PNG watermark with transparency blends in best.

Reach for this rather than a heavy editor when a corner logo is all you are after. Editors let you animate a watermark, move it around, or fade it, but that is a lot of setup for a static mark. If you just want your logo consistently in one corner of the export, this does exactly that and nothing you have to configure around.

It fits branding social clips before posting, marking tutorial or course videos with your handle, adding a studio or channel logo to client deliverables, and stamping footage you are sharing publicly so reposts still point back to you. Creators use it to keep attribution on short clips that tend to travel far from where they were posted.

The whole thing runs in your browser, so your video and logo are never uploaded, there is no account, and it is free. Since the compositing and encoding happen on your device, the only real limit is your own memory, so a long or high resolution video depends on your machine rather than a server.

Frequently asked questions

Can the watermark be removed after it is applied?

Not easily. It is composited into the actual frames of the video rather than kept as a separate layer, so it becomes part of the picture, which is what makes it useful for protecting your work.

Where on the video can I place the logo?

You can pick any of the four corners, top left, top right, bottom left, or bottom right. The mark is set slightly in from the edge so it stays readable without touching the border.

Should my logo be a PNG?

A PNG with a transparent background works best, because only your logo shows and the video behind it stays visible. A solid image will appear as a rectangle in the corner, which is fine but less subtle.

Does watermarking lower the video quality?

The video is re-encoded to add the mark, at a sensible quality setting that keeps the footage looking clean. Any change is minor, and the logo itself sits crisply over the picture.

Can I make the watermark bigger or more see-through?

The tool scales the logo to a sensible size for the corner you choose. For a specific size or opacity, prepare the image at the look you want first, for example a faint semi-transparent PNG, and the tool overlays it as provided.

What format is the finished video?

It exports as an MP4, which plays across phones, browsers, and social platforms without conversion. That makes the watermarked clip ready to post as soon as it downloads.
