A watermark marks a clip as yours before it goes out into the world. It might be your name, a handle, a copyright line, or a logo. The point is the same: anyone who sees the video knows where it came from, and a casual re-poster cannot pass it off as their own. Adding one is a quick step before you share.
The short version: load the video, choose text or a logo, set the corner and opacity, and download the marked clip. The video watermark tool does it on your device, with nothing uploaded.
Text or logo, which to use
The tool supports both, and they suit different needs.
- Text is the fastest. Type your name, handle or a copyright line and it is placed straight onto the video. No file needed.
- A logo image carries your brand. Add a PNG, and for the cleanest result use one with a transparent background so only the mark shows, not a box around it.
If you have a brand mark, the logo looks more polished. If you just want to claim the clip, text does the job in seconds.
Set the placement and opacity
Two settings control how the watermark sits on the video.
The corner decides where it goes. A bottom corner is the usual pick, because it marks the clip without sitting over faces or the main action. Choose the corner that stays clearest of the subject for most of the clip.
The opacity decides how strong it looks. A lower opacity is subtle and lets the video show through, which is the standard look for a brand mark you want present but not distracting. A higher opacity is bolder and harder to crop out or ignore. For a deterrent, lean stronger; for a light touch, lean softer.
How to add a watermark to a video
Step 1: Add your video
Drop in the clip you want to mark.
Step 2: Choose text or a logo
Type a line of text, or switch to image mode and add a PNG logo. Then set the corner and the opacity.
Step 3: Download the result
Apply the watermark, check the preview, and save the marked clip. Nothing was uploaded to get there.
A note on what a watermark can and cannot do
A watermark deters casual copying and credits your work, but it is not unbreakable. A determined re-poster can crop or cover a corner mark. If that is a real concern, a larger or more central mark is harder to remove, at the cost of being more intrusive. For most uses, a clear corner mark at a sensible opacity strikes the right balance between protection and a clean-looking video.
The short version
Mark a clip before you share it by adding a text or logo watermark in a corner, at an opacity that suits the look you want. Text is the quick option; a transparent PNG logo is the branded one. It all runs in your browser, so neither the video nor your logo leaves your device. If you also need the clip smaller before posting, compress it afterwards.
