Watermarkly charges $9/month for batch watermarking. Adobe Lightroom requires a Creative Cloud subscription. Most free online watermark tools only process one image at a time.
The Image Watermark Tool at Ultimate Tools added free batch mode — upload multiple photos, set your watermark once, download all as a ZIP.
How to Batch Watermark Images
- Open the free batch watermark tool
- Drag and drop multiple images, or hold Ctrl (Windows) / Cmd (Mac) while selecting to choose several files at once
- Enter your watermark text — brand name, copyright, URL
- Adjust font size, color, opacity, and position (9-position grid)
- The canvas preview shows the first image with your settings
- Click Download All as ZIP — all watermarked files in one archive
The file list shows all queued images with an × button to remove any before downloading.
What the Batch Processes
Each image in the batch gets the same watermark applied:
- Same text
- Same font size
- Same color and opacity
- Same position (top-left, center, bottom-right, etc.)
The output ZIP uses the original filename with -watermarked appended. JPG input → JPG output. PNG stays PNG. WEBP stays WEBP.

No Server Upload — Even for Batch Jobs
All processing happens in your browser using the Canvas API. Uploading 50 product images doesn't send 50 files to a server — each image is processed locally, one by one, then packaged into a ZIP using JSZip running entirely client-side.
When to Use Batch Mode
Product photography — Watermark an entire product shoot before uploading to a shop. One ZIP, done in under a minute.
Client photo previews — Photographers send watermarked previews to clients before they pay. Batch handles 100+ event photos in the time it used to take for 5.
Portfolio protection — Watermark a full design or illustration portfolio before posting to Behance, Instagram, or a client presentation.
Marketing image sets — Apply consistent brand watermarks to a full campaign's worth of social, print, and web images in one pass.
