Adding a watermark to your photos or images before you share them on the internet has arguably become essential in today’s world. Original creators often don’t get credited for their work, and it is often disheartening to see your work out there being shared millions of times. The only thing worse than getting no credit for your own hard work is seeing someone else getting all the credit for it. Happens on Twitter or Facebook all the time, doesn’t it?
Watermarking your photos or images isn’t easy, especially when you have several hundred photos to process. And that’s where Visual Watermark comes in.
