Watermarkly
Watermarkly is an online and desktop watermarking tool that lets individuals and teams batch-add custom watermarks (text or logo) to photos quickly. It targets photographers, agencies, e-commerce and social media users who need to protect copyright, brand images, or mark document status. The product includes a browser-based app that works without installation and native desktop apps (Visual Watermark) for Windows and Mac for very large batches. Watermark templates are synchronized via the cloud so teams can reuse consistent watermark settings across devices while Watermarkly states that user images are not stored on their servers and that only templates are uploaded.
