# Watermarks
> Create, customize, save, and auto-apply text and image watermarks to your images in the Content Library.
Postpone lets you add watermarks to your images to protect your content and promote your brand. There are two types of watermarks:
- **Text** — Add your own text as a watermark, such as your username, social media handle, or website URL.
- **Image** — Overlay a logo or custom branding image onto your photos.
You can save watermark presets for quick reuse and set a default watermark to be auto-applied to all new uploads.
## Adding a Watermark to an Image
### From the Content Library
1. Navigate to the **Content Library**.
2. Click on the image you want to watermark.
3. Select the **Watermark** tab.
4. Choose the watermark **Type** — **Text** or **Image**.
5. Configure the watermark settings (see customization options below).
6. Click **Save** to apply the watermark.
### While Scheduling a Post
1. Navigate to **Schedule a Post** and select a post type that includes images.
2. Upload or choose an image.
3. Click the image to open the editor, then select the **Watermark** tab.
4. Choose the watermark **Type** — **Text** or **Image**.
5. Configure the watermark settings.
6. Click **Save** to apply the watermark.
## Text Watermark Options
Text watermarks let you display custom text over your images — up to 500 characters. Common choices include your username, social media handle, or website URL.
### Font
Choose from six font families:
|

|

|
|

|

You can also set the font to **Bold** and/or **Italic** for additional emphasis.
### Color
Choose from 11 preset colors.
### Opacity
Adjust the watermark transparency from **0%** (fully transparent) to **100%** (fully opaque). Lower opacity values make the watermark more subtle, while higher values make it more prominent.
### Size
Choose from six size presets:
|
Size
|
Description
|
|
Tiny
|
Smallest watermark
|
|
Small
|
Subtle, minimal size
|
|
Medium
|
Balanced size
|
|
Large
|
Clearly visible
|
|
Huge
|
Prominent watermark
|
|
Ginormous
|
Largest watermark
|
The watermark size is calculated as a percentage of the image's smallest dimension, so it scales proportionally across different image sizes.
### Placement
Control where the watermark appears on the image using two alignment settings:
**Vertical alignment:**
- Top
- Center
- Bottom
**Horizontal alignment:**
- Left
- Center
- Right
Combine these to place the watermark in any of nine positions (e.g., bottom-right, top-center, center-center).
## Image Watermark Options
Image watermarks let you overlay a logo or custom branding image onto your photos. PNGs with a transparent background are recommended so the watermark blends naturally with your content.
To use an image watermark, first upload the watermark image to your Content Library, then select it when configuring the watermark.
### Watermark Image
Search and select an image from your Content Library to use as the watermark. Any edits applied to the source image (cropping, filters, etc.) are not carried over — the original image is used.
### Opacity
Adjust the watermark transparency from **0%** (fully transparent) to **100%** (fully opaque).
### Size
Choose from seven size presets:
|

The watermark size is calculated as a percentage of the target image, so it scales proportionally across different image sizes.
### Placement
Control where the watermark appears on the image using two alignment settings:
**Vertical alignment:**
- Top
- Center
- Bottom
**Horizontal alignment:**
- Left
- Center
- Right
Combine these to place the watermark in any of nine positions (e.g., bottom-right, top-center, center-center).
## Saving Watermark Presets
Once you've configured a watermark you like, you can save it as a preset for quick reuse. Both text and image watermarks can be saved as presets.
### Saving a New Preset
1. Configure your watermark type and appearance settings.
2. Click **Save Preset**.
3. Enter a name for the preset.
4. Optionally, check **Set as default** to auto-apply this watermark to future uploads.
5. Click **Save**.
### Loading a Saved Preset
1. Open the watermark editor on any image.
2. Click the **Saved Watermarks** dropdown.
3. Select a preset to load its settings instantly.
### Updating a Preset
1. Load a saved preset and make your changes.
2. Click **Save Preset**.
3. If a preset with the same name already exists, you'll be prompted to update the existing preset.
### Deleting a Preset
1. Load the preset you want to delete.
2. Click the **Delete** button.
3. Confirm the deletion.
## Default Watermark (Auto-Apply)
You can designate one saved watermark as your **default**. When a default watermark is set, it is automatically applied to all new images uploaded to the Content Library.
### Setting a Default Watermark
- When saving a new preset, check the **Set as default** option.
- Or, update an existing preset and enable the default option.
Only one watermark can be the default at a time. Setting a new default automatically removes the default status from the previous one.
### How Auto-Apply Works
1. Upload new images to the Content Library (via drag-and-drop, file picker, or external import).
2. Postpone automatically applies your default watermark to each uploaded image.
3. The watermark is applied in real-time — no extra steps required.
Auto-apply only affects **images**. Videos and GIFs do not support watermarks.
## Bulk Watermarking
You can apply a watermark to multiple images at once:
1. Navigate to the **Content Library**.
2. Select multiple images using the checkboxes.
3. Click **Bulk Watermark** from the actions menu.
4. Configure your watermark settings or load a saved preset.
5. Preview how the watermark will look across your selected images using the navigation arrows.
6. Click **Apply** to watermark all selected images.
## Filtering by Watermark Status
The Content Library lets you filter images by whether they have a watermark applied:
- **All** — Show all images.
- **With Watermark** — Show only watermarked images.
- **Without Watermark** — Show only images without a watermark.
This is useful for quickly finding images that still need watermarking, or for reviewing which images have already been watermarked.
## Removing a Watermark
To remove a watermark from an image:
1. Click on the watermarked image in the Content Library.
2. Select the **Watermark** tab.
3. Clear the watermark text or remove the watermark operation.
4. Click **Save**.
Not all subreddits allow submitting images with watermarks. Check each subreddit's rules before posting watermarked content to Reddit.
