Three simple ways to add a custom watermark on photos – Times of India

Whether you are a professional photographer or photographer by hobby and mostly shoot using your smartphone, adding a watermark will ensure that no one else can take credit for your work. It also prevents unauthorised use of the photos you’ve shared on your social media platform.
In addition, it is also an important promotional tool for professionals by allowing them to put their logo in photos to promote their brand.
Whatever is the case for you, here are three easy ways to add a watermark in photos using your smartphone.
Method 1: Using the smartphone’s in-built photo editor
The easiest way to add a watermark on photos is using the phone’s built-in image editor. Yes, it does not allow users to add images or custom logos, but it is the easiest and quickest way to simply add your name at the bottom, top, left, right corner of the photos. You can also add the copyright logo if you want.
Simply open a photo in your phone’s image editor tool and look for the ‘Add text’ option or Text option. Start typing your name and add it wherever you want to place it in the photo.
Method 2: Using smartphone’s camera app
Most modern Android smartphones come with a ‘Shot On’ watermark feature that automatically adds a watermark to the photos captured. Smartphone brands like OnePlus, Oppo, Xiaomi also let users add their names below the Shot On logo. To add your name in the watermark, head to Camera settings and look for the watermark option and add your name.
Method 3: Using third-party apps and tools
There are several tools and apps available that are specifically designed to add watermarks to photos. Some even let users create their own watermark before adding it to the photo. Another good solution is by using third-party editing tools like Adobe Lightroom Mobile, Snapseed, etc. that allows users to add custom watermarks in the photos.
