How it works

Upload your photo

Drop your image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Any photo works—the AI will add text exactly where you specify without affecting the rest of the image.

Expect: Simple text watermarks: 20-25 seconds. Complex positioning or styling: 25-30 seconds. Fast and straightforward text overlay.
Describe the watermark text and placement

Type what you want: 'add watermark text "© 2026 MyBrand" in the bottom right corner' or 'add semi-transparent white text "SAMPLE" diagonally across the center.' Specify the exact text (in quotes), position, size, color, and transparency. No marking needed—the AI understands location descriptions.

Tip: Include styling details for better results: 'semi-transparent', 'white text', 'small font', or 'subtle watermark in corner' guide the visual appearance.

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from description alone.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want to change, then regenerate with the same prompt

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS one specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Text appeared in the wrong location

Why: The AI interpreted the position description differently than you intended.

Try:

Be more specific about placement: 'add watermark in the exact bottom right corner, 20 pixels from the edges' or tap a marker where you want the text

Try This →

Tip: Markers are perfect for precise text placement. Tap where you want the watermark and say 'add text here.'

Watermark text is too large or too small

Why: Without explicit size guidance, the AI chose a default text size that doesn't match your needs.

Try: Specify size explicitly: 'add small watermark text' or 'add large bold text' to control the scale

Try This →

Tip: Use size descriptors: 'tiny', 'small', 'medium', 'large', or 'very large' to control text prominence.

Text is not readable against the background

Why: The text color blends with the image background, making it hard to see.

Try: Add contrast instructions: 'add white text with black outline' or 'add black text on light background areas only'

Try This →

Tip: Text with outlines or subtle shadows ensures readability on any background color.

Watermark is too opaque and covers important image content

Why: The default text opacity is too strong, making the watermark intrusive.

Try: Request transparency: 'add semi-transparent watermark' or 'add subtle low-opacity text that doesn't block the image'

Try This →

Tip: 'Semi-transparent', 'subtle', or 'light opacity' create protective watermarks that don't ruin the image.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark where to place the watermark?

No! Just describe the location: 'add watermark in the bottom right corner' or 'add text diagonally across the center.' The AI understands position descriptions like corners, center, top, bottom, left, right. Only use markers if you want pixel-perfect placement in a specific spot.

Can I control the watermark appearance like color, size, and transparency?

Yes! Include styling in your prompt: 'small white text', 'semi-transparent', 'large bold letters', 'subtle watermark', 'red text'. The AI adapts the appearance based on your description. You can specify font size, color, transparency, and styling.

Is there a free watermark tool that doesn't require signup?

Yes, EditThisPic is free to try with no account needed. Upload your photo, describe the watermark text and position, and download the protected result. No additional watermarks added. Perfect for quick image protection.

What types of watermarks can I add?

You can add copyright notices, website URLs, social media handles, signatures, "SAMPLE" or "PROOF" overlays, confidential stamps, or any custom text. Describe the text, position, and styling you want—the AI handles the rest.
