Frequently Asked Questions
Common queries regarding image watermarking, logo overlays, and theft protection:
Can I use a transparent PNG logo as my watermark?
Yes! Simply switch to the 'Logo Image' tab and upload your PNG logo. The tool retains full alpha transparency, allowing seamless overlays.
What is the benefit of a tiled watermark?
A single corner watermark can easily be cropped out or erased by AI inpainting. A tiled watermark repeats across the entire composition, ensuring complete proof protection.
Does watermarking reduce the resolution or clarity of my photo?
No. The canvas generates the composite at full native camera sensor resolution. When saving as lossless PNG, there is zero compression degradation.
Are my uploaded photos safe and private?
Yes, 100%. FileFryer operates entirely on your computer. Not a single pixel of your images or logos is ever transmitted over the network or saved to remote databases.
Can I adjust the opacity and add drop shadows to text watermarks?
Yes. You can fine-tune watermark opacity from 5% to 100% and enable soft drop shadows with customizable colors to keep your text readable over both bright and dark photo backgrounds.
Can I watermark Apple iPhone HEIC and HEIF photos?
Yes! FileFryer includes client-side WebAssembly HEIC decoding, automatically decoding iPhone .heic camera photos directly in your browser without requiring prior conversion.
