Batch Photo Watermarker

Relying on strangers’ trustworthiness is a naivety that you cannot afford nowadays, especially if you are a content creator and you have a lot to lose in case your works get lost in the murky waters of the Internet.

Batch Photo Watermarker is a software solution designed to protect you exactly from this sort of situations, where you risk having your images spread all over the web, without any clue pointing to their real origin.

Sporting a large main window that cannot be resized, this application bundles quite a few options, without looking crowded. At the top, it packs several essential buttons, which let you add, manage and remove pictures from your collection, with the mention that the mission of “Manage” and “Clear” blends in to a certain extent. They could have just as easily been packed in the same menu, since they are both aimed at removing pictures from your collection.

The section on the right is meant to let you choose from several watermark templates while also giving you the possibility of adding new ones. This is also the place where you have to set an output location for your pictures and get to manage their file format.

It is important to mention that, by default, the app keeps the original format for BMP, JPEG, GIF, PNG, and TIFF files while you can decide what will happen with any other extensions. That is to mean that the program also works as a format converter.

Nevertheless, note that, in our tests, the application did not seem to manage BMP files too well, prompting us with an error saying that the image was not valid.

Now let’s get to the program’s core capabilities, which are neatly arranged in the left horizontal section of the main window. There are multiple ways to leave your mark on a picture, and the first one is the copyright text along with a complementary symbol. You can choose from a multitude of fonts, positions, and effects for the copyright word or phrase and thus ensure that you do not interfere with anything essential in the image.

Checking the “Add Logo/Image” leads to a self-explanatory result. You can choose a file stored on your PC, and you are also in control of its opacity level when integrated into the picture you want to be stamped.

If you think associating each image with a date is of any relevance to you, Batch Photo Watermarker lets you do that too. A predefined date and time extracted from EXIF can be imprinted on digital camera photos, but you may also customize these details. As is the case with the text watermark, you can tweak the font, position, and the background box for the text and check the results in real time in order to spot any visual inconsistencies.

For the minimalism aficionados, the app comes with an extra way of personalizing your pictures. This time, the approach is graphic and consists of adding lines whose color, position, and thickness you can also adjust according to your needs.

Overall, Batch Photo Watermarker is a really useful software solution that comes to the aid of those who want to make small adjustments to their images that would hint at their creator’s identity. In spite of not being offered with a user manual, the application is as straightforward as can be, and there should be no obstacles to overcome when exploring its features.
