Your watermark is important - it keeps your brand visible while your customers browse your gallery, and prevents people from snagging one of your photos without making a purchase! That's why we've implemented a few ways to customize how your watermark appears on your gallery photos.
PhotoDay automatically adds a watermark to your photos if you haven't already uploaded one yourself, seen here:
Our default watermark contains a colored gradient, an irregular pattern, soft edges, and gradient circles—making it difficult for AI to recognize and remove.
However, if you want to upload a custom watermark of your own, it's totally easy!
Research shows that colored gradients, irregular patterns, and blurred edges confuse and combat AI, so we recommend implementing these features when designing your custom watermark.
To upload your own watermark or make adjustments to the default one, just go to Settings > My Studio > Logo and Watermark.
Here you'll see your options for customizing your watermark.
You'll see our default watermark in the Upload panel already. If you want to replace it with one of your own, just select the Replace button.
Your new watermark must be in a PNG format, with a maximum dimension of 5000x5000pixels, and a maximum size of 2MB.
Whether using your own or PhotoDay's default, customizing the watermark is as easy as 1, 2, 3...
You can select the location of your watermark on your photos.
Next, you can choose the opacity (how transparent/opaque it appears) and the scale of your watermark on each image.
You can then preview how your watermark will appear in the customer gallery by clicking the "Preview" button.
If you're satisfied with the results, go ahead and click the blue "Save" button. These changes will automatically be applied to all of your photos!
And if ever you wish to return to our default watermark, simply select the "Default" button below the "Replace" button in the Upload panel.
Presto! That'll change it right back.
