Watermarking Photos

I have urged people many times to watermark their product photos for their websites. I know it needs to be done and it does help give you a measure of security against copyright infringement. But did I ever do it myself? Um, (embarrassed to admit) no. And so imagine my irritation when I was “window shopping” on Ebay last night, only to find 3 of my own product photos on someone’s listing! Consider me reformed!

I went on the hunt for a watermarking tool that would allow me to watermark multiple photos at one time. After all, watermarking every single product photo on a retail site is not exactly a quick process. So I was pleased to find a program that would allow me to do just that, and I want to share the link with you.

Visual Watermark

This program was very easy to use and allowed me to upload many photos at once. It’s even possible to save the watermark you create so that you just choose it and re-use it whenever you need to. It still took me about 4-5 hours to get the job done, but I’m sure that it would have been 4-5 days without this program. Now I have watermarked photos for all my website products, which obviously I should have done long ago. But at least now I’ve got a little bit of means to prevent this from happening in the future.

Learn from my mistake, everyone. Watermark your photos now!
