People often get questions about how to protect their photos online, and explicitly how to watermark images so that they could be harder to steal. To some extent commonly named Watermark Image Software is a free program designed to address this very problem.

Watermark Image Software is really planned to work with large batches of files swiftly and easily. Sure, you can use it to watermark a single photo, but that’s like swatting a fly with a hand grenade.

To use the program, point it to a folder where you have stored some photos, then indicate the target folder. If you set the source and destination to the same place, you can restore your originals,. Always opt a different folder, so you don’t eternally watermark your originals. Then just specify the text, font, size, and color, along with where on the photo the watermark will appear. You can also choose to resize the photos at the same time, which is handy if they are headed for the Web.
