Frequently Asked Questions

What is this site?
Just like the name implies Watermarktool.com is an online watermarking tool. More specifically, this site is free online software that allows you to apply visible watermarks to your images.
What is a watermark?
Watermarks, the kinds created here, are visible marks that are placed on top of an existing image. Watermarks are generally used to make it more difficult for people to steal images without giving proper credit. With a watermark on your images, you are protecting your images from use without your permission. Even if somebody copies the image without your permission, the image will have the watermark on it letting people know that you created it.
Why make a web tool that creates watermarks?
For people with photoshop, illustrator, or other advanced graphical software, applying watermarks isn't very difficult. However, many people don't have these kinds of tools, which means that their images can't be photoshopped without more advanced computer knowledge and extra hassle. With this website, anybody can apply personalized watermarks quickly and without needing to know anything about graphic manipulating software. Even people with advanced graphical know-how will probably find that this site's process to be a quicker and easier solution than opening Photoshop and creating a watermark from scratch.
Do I have to register?
Nope. There is no registration or signing up required. There isn't even the ability to do so if you wanted. As such, you don't have to worry about this site collecting and sharing any personal information. The only information that is collected is through standard statistics software. These stats collect harmless information such as the number of visitors to the website and how much bandwidth is being used.
Is Watermark Tool an image host?
Sorry, no. This site is not for storing your images. Image hosts suck up a lot of bandwidth, and as such, can be expensive to run. Images here are deleted frequently and the site prevents hotlinking images uploaded here. This helps keep the site free for everybody.
What's with all the ads?
As much as I'd like to say that I made this site out of the kindess of my heart, the truth is that part of the reason I made this site is so that it can hopefully eventually bring in a bit of money. There are no popups, popunders, or any other intrusive ads to be found here. I try to keep all ads relevant and useful.
Any planned additions to the site?
Of course! There's actually quite a few things that I have on my list of "things to do" for this site. Unfortunately, I have many projects that I'm working on, as well as having a full time job, so updates will be done "when they get done". Depending on the popularity of the site, I might bump the new features to the top of my list.
