    Why Should You Watermark Your Images?<\/h2>\n

    Watermarks identify you as the creator, deter unauthorized use, help clients find you when images are shared without links, and establish copyright ownership.<\/p>\n

    Where Should I Position the Watermark?<\/h2>\n

    Bottom-right or bottom-left corners are most common \u2014 visible enough to identify the image but not obstructing the main subject. For maximum protection against cropping, a centered semi-transparent watermark is more effective.<\/p>\n

    Can I Adjust the Opacity?<\/h2>\n

    Yes. Set opacity from subtle (20\u201330%) for a discreet credit to fully visible (80\u2013100%) for maximum protection. A 40\u201360% opacity is usually a good balance.<\/p>\n

    What Formats Are Supported?<\/h2>\n

    JPG, PNG, and WebP for both input and output.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
