Adding watermarks to protect your images

Imagely allows you to add watermarks to your images individually or as a batch. Watermarks are text or graphics that are placed on a photo to identify who owns the copyright. These are a great way to prevent your images from being stolen or resold!

To set your watermark settings, go to Imagely > Settings > Watermarks:

Here are the available watermark settings:

1. Watermark type: Text watermark or Image Watermark.
2. Position: You can use this setting to define the location of the watermark.
3. X Offset (pixels)/Y Offset (pixels) Horizontal and vertical padding to your watermark in pixels.
4. Preview of saved settings: That button allows you to see how the watermark will look. It will use the first image from your first gallery.
