Instagram has rolled out their online platform, and the time has come for us to pause and learn how to make a watermark. This tutorial shows you how to use iWatermark to create a graphic or text watermark to protect your content, and further your branding and marketing efforts.
How to Make a Watermark on Instagram
There are several apps available for watermarking images, but I chose iWatermark because it is available for Mac, Windows, iPhone and other Apple products, and Android. There is a free and a paid version, which is available for $1.99. Both versions offer the same features. The difference between the two is the free version includes a statement on your image: “’iWatermark Free – Upgrade to remove this watermark’.” iWatermark allows users to create a text watermark or a graphic watermark.
My preferred method for creating a watermark is the graphic method, because in this case you can use your logo and further your branding and marketing efforts. Creating the graphic watermark is easy. You simply need make your logo white or grey, reduce the opacity, and perhaps change the size.

Often overlooked, watermarks are extremely important. Thanks for highlighting this topic and recommending such a useful and easy to use tool.
installing water mark as we speak thank you
iWatermark sure does make you work to get the job done. On an android, I’ve used AddWatermark (free) … don’t need to make/upload a picture to add a watermark. And, if you do it often enough, it’s $1.99 for the full version.
I did purchase the full version. I think it was a couple of bucks well spent!
This great information for those concerned about sharing photos on Instagram!
Thank you!
