Overview

Protect your creative work and strengthen your brand identity by adding custom image watermarks to your videos. This tool provides precise control over logo placement, transparency, and sizing, while offering advanced features like movement animations and specific timing intervals to ensure your watermark appears exactly where and when you need it.

When to Use

  • •When you need to protect original video content from unauthorized use by applying a permanent brand logo.
  • •When creating promotional clips that require consistent visual identification across different social media platforms.
  • •When you want to overlay a 'Draft' or 'Confidential' badge that moves across the screen to prevent screen recording.

How It Works

  • •Upload your target video file and the image you want to use as a watermark, such as a transparent PNG logo.
  • •Select the watermark's anchor position and adjust the scale, opacity, and margin to fit your video's layout.
  • •Optionally configure animation modes for moving watermarks or set specific start and end timestamps for the overlay to appear.
  • •Choose your desired output format like MP4 or WebM and process the video to embed the watermark.

Use Cases

Adding a semi-transparent company logo to the bottom-right corner of a corporate presentation video.
Applying a 'Sample' watermark that moves diagonally across a stock footage preview to prevent unlicensed usage.
Inserting a social media icon that only appears during the first 15 seconds of a video to introduce the creator's handle.

Examples

1. Professional Brand Overlay

Social Media Manager
Background
A brand is launching a series of video tutorials on YouTube and needs to ensure their logo is present on every frame.
Problem
The logo needs to be visible but subtle enough not to distract from the instructional content.
How to Use
Upload the tutorial MP4 and the brand logo. Set the position to 'Top Right', scale to 12%, and opacity to 0.5.
Example Config
Position: top-right, Scale: 12, Opacity: 0.5, Margin: 30, Animation: static
Outcome
A professional-looking tutorial video with a semi-transparent logo anchored in the top-right corner.

2. Anti-Theft Moving Watermark

Independent Videographer
Background
A videographer is sending a high-resolution preview of a wedding film to a client for approval before final payment.
Problem
The creator wants to prevent the client from using the preview without paying, while still allowing them to see the quality.
How to Use
Upload the wedding clip and a 'PREVIEW' image. Select 'Diagonal Move' and set a high animation speed.
Example Config
Position: center, Animation Mode: diagonal, Animation Speed: 150, Opacity: 0.3
Outcome
The video features a faint 'PREVIEW' image that constantly moves across the screen, making it unusable for public display while remaining clear for review.
