What Is Video Watermark?

The Video Watermark tool is a free browser-based tool that adds image or text watermarks to your videos. Upload a logo/image to use as a watermark, or type text to create a text-based watermark. Adjust the position, size, and opacity of the watermark, then apply it to your video. Watermarks are essential for protecting intellectual property, branding content, and preventing unauthorized use. The tool renders the watermark on each frame using Canvas compositing. All processing happens locally in your browser — no files are uploaded.

Why Use Video Watermark?

  • Support for both image and text watermarks
  • Adjustable position, size, and opacity
  • No uploads — private processing
  • Protect your content from unauthorized use

Technical Guide

The Video Watermark tool uses Canvas compositing to overlay watermarks on video frames. For image watermarks, the logo is loaded as an Image element and drawn onto the Canvas using drawImage() with configurable position, size, and globalAlpha for opacity. For text watermarks, fillText() and strokeText() are used with the specified font and color. The watermark is applied after drawing the video frame, creating a composite image per frame. Position presets (top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right, center) calculate coordinates based on video and watermark dimensions with padding. The watermark opacity is controlled via the Canvas context's globalAlpha property, and globalCompositeOperation can be used for blend mode effects.

Tips & Best Practices

  • 1
    Use semi-transparent watermarks (30-50% opacity) for subtlety
  • 2
    Place watermarks in corners to minimize visual disruption
  • 3
    PNG logos with transparency work best as image watermarks
  • 4
    Use a contrasting color for text watermarks to ensure visibility
