Watermark Wizard is a simple, offline-first application that allows you to add professional watermarks to images in seconds.
All processing happens locally on your computer — your images are never uploaded to our servers or sent to any third-party service.
This also applies if your images are stored in cloud-synced folders such as Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, or similar services. These tools create local folders on your computer. Watermark Wizard only works with the local files in those folders and does not upload, sync, or transmit your images anywhere.

Click Browse and select images from your device or drag and drop images or folders in the input box.
Images can be deleted individually by hovering over the image and clicking the "x" in the top right corner. Alternatively, all images can be removed by clicking Clear All.
If you wish to save the watermarked version in the same folder as the original then leave this box ticked. If you wish the watermarked copy to be in a different folder then untick this box, next to output folder box click browse and select a location where the watermarked files should be saved.
This is where you can save and select your watermarks. To populate either drag and drop your watermark file into the box or click Browse and select your watermark image from your device. Watermarks can be renamed by clicking on the pencil icon (this is for reference only and will not show on the watermark image). Click on the "x" in the top right of the watermark to remove it.
Select a watermark file by clicking it, the selected watermark (the one that will appear on your images) will have a blue border.
Note: If your Watermark image has a transparent background then in this box it will show with a grey background for preview purposes, this helps with watermarks that are white in colour, the exported image will keep the transparent background.
Click the box relevant to where you want the watermark to appear on your image, only one position can be selected.
Scale – Controls the maximum width of the image that the watermark will use, the default (and maximum) is 15% this represents a reasonable size watermark but can be reduced.
Opacity – Controls how visible the watermark is. A higher value makes the watermark more solid and visible, while a lower value makes it more transparent.
Centre Size Multiplier – Controls the size of the image if the center position is selected, the maximum is 2.00.
Filename Suffix – Controls what the watermark file will be called, the watermarked file will be created using the existing file name suffixed with whatever is entered into this box.
This will watermark your images, progress will be shown in the progress bar, click stop to stop the process.
