1Upload the PSD files you want to mark, already at their final size — watermarking comes after resizing, not before it.
2Upload a transparent PNG logo or type your text, then choose the font, the colour and the opacity.
3Set the position, or switch to a tiled repeat when a single corner mark would be too easy to crop away.
4Download the watermarked PSD file; nothing else is added to it.
Watermark PSD FAQ
How does Watermark PSD place the mark?
+
Concretely, the composite is rendered and the mark is applied to it, producing a flat watermarked deliverable while your layered original stays clean. You control the position, the size and the opacity, and the same settings are applied consistently across everything you upload.
Can I use my own logo, or only text?
+
Either. Upload a transparent PNG logo, or type text and choose the font, colour and opacity. A tiled repeat is available when one corner mark is too easy to crop away.
Does the file format affect how the watermark comes out?
+
It does. PSD is Photoshop native — layers, masks, adjustment layers and blend modes stay live and editable, which no flat image format can represent. That governs how cleanly a semi-transparent mark can be blended into the underlying content.
Anything specific to PSD worth knowing?
+
Yes — layers, masks and adjustment layers are live objects rather than pixels, so a tool either preserves them or composites them down — there is no middle option. It affects when in your workflow the mark should be applied.
Does a watermark actually protect my work?
+
It deters casual reuse and it credits you; it is not security. A corner mark can be cropped and a faint one can be painted out. If protection matters, a large semi-transparent mark across the subject is far harder to remove than a discreet one in a corner.
Should I watermark before or after resizing?
+
After. Watermark the final deliverable at its final size, so the mark stays legible and proportionate. Watermarking a master you will process again means the mark gets resampled and compressed along with everything else.
What can I upload to Watermark PSD?
+
Photoshop PSD documents, including ones with layer groups, layer masks, adjustment layers and blend modes. You do not need a Photoshop licence to work with them here.
Is there a file size limit on Watermark PSD?
+
Yes: free accounts process images up to 25 MB each, and layered documents reach that faster than anything else in the image family because every layer stores its own pixel data. A working PSD with dozens of layers can exceed that easily; flattening a copy in Photoshop first, or converting to TIFF, is the usual way around it.
Will Watermark PSD lower the quality of my PSD files?
+
Pixel data in a PSD is stored losslessly, so nothing degrades. The real question is structural: whether the result keeps the layer stack or arrives as a finished composite. Anything that has to produce a flat image applies blend modes, masks and opacity exactly as Photoshop previews them.
Can I run Watermark PSD on several PSD files at once?
+
Yes, though layered documents are the heaviest thing in the image family to decode, so a batch of large PSDs takes noticeably longer per file than the equivalent JPGs.
Do layers, masks and text stay editable?
+
Only if the output is itself a layered format. A flat image format cannot represent a live layer, an editable text object or an adjustment layer, so those are baked into the result. Keep your original PSD — the output is a deliverable, not a replacement master.
Does Watermark PSD cost anything?
+
No. Watermark PSD is free and needs neither an account nor an Adobe subscription. Your PSD is deleted from the workers shortly after the job completes.
