FAQ About Watermark

Is a watermark legally enforceable copyright?

No. Watermarks deter casual theft but don't establish legal copyright (which is automatic upon creation in most countries). Use them as a deterrent, not a legal protection.

Can I remove a watermark from an image?

Not perfectly. Watermark removal requires advanced image editing (Clone Stamp, Content-Aware Fill). It is always visible to some degree. Don't rely on watermarks alone for high-value content.

Can I use an image (logo) as watermark instead of text?

Currently text-only. Image watermark (logo) is a planned feature.
