Adding a Watermark on your photos

We suggest adding a watermark to your images before uploading them to Portfoliobox. There are many software programs available to add Watermarks to photos.

To help protect your creative work, we recommend adding a watermark to your images before uploading them to your portfolio website. A watermark adds an extra layer of security by discouraging unauthorised use or downloads of your photos and artwork.

Why add a watermark?

Adding a watermark helps you:

  • Protect your work from being copied or reused without permission.
  • Promote your brand by displaying your name or logo on every image.
  • Maintain ownership and visibility even when your images are shared online.


💡 Tip: Choose a subtle watermark that doesn’t distract from your work, for example, a semi-transparent logo or text placed in a corner or along an edge.
