 <\/p>\n

These days, you’re probably seeing more and more photos<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0with watermarks on Facebook<\/i><\/b>,\u00a0<\/strong>Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Google+<\/i><\/b>\u00a0and on the Internet<\/i><\/b> in general.<\/p>\n

You might be wondering…. what’s the point <\/i>of adding watermarks to your images? Should I<\/i> be adding them to my<\/i> content? If so, why<\/i>? For precisely this reason, in today’s blog post<\/i> I’m going to show you just how important adding watermarks to your images<\/strong><\/em> is, and how you can start automatically<\/i> incorporating them into all<\/b> the images you generate. Let’s get started!!<\/p>\n

What is a Watermark?<\/h2>\n

A watermark is a message (usually a logo, stamp, or signature) superimposed onto an image, with a great deal of transparency<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, it’s still possible to visualize its presence without interrupting or preventing vision of the image that it protects. Watermarks are often used by photo<\/i><\/b> banks<\/i><\/b> and by people or institutions that care about the use of their digital works to protect their interests.<\/p>\n

\"what<\/h2>\n

Why should I use watermarks on Facebook? (and on all the images that I\u00a0share on social networks)<\/h2>\n

First of all, you need to know that watermarks<\/b> are extremely useful in a variety of ways. Since the advent of this technique to the present day, the most common use has been to protect the copyright<\/i><\/b> of photos and images.<\/p>\n

Watermarks discourage the illegal use of creative material without the permission of its creator. \u00a0That’s why, as you’ve probably noticed, it’s not always easy to find free and <\/b>legal<\/i><\/b> photos<\/b> to use in your posts.<\/p>\n

\"watermarks<\/a><\/p>\n

On the other hand, for Community Managers <\/i><\/b>and anyone working with social networks<\/i>,\u00a0watermark is used to make<\/strong><\/em> a very effective way to promote your brand <\/i><\/b>or website. How? By adding the corresponding logo to each image that the business produces. Then, when users come across a picture with the that watermark, they know exactly where the image came from.<\/b><\/p>\n

Using watermarks<\/i><\/b> will prevent anyone (even your competitors) from making use of your images. If you implement them, it will help you protect your work<\/b> and discourage anyone who wants to use your image to promote their<\/i> project or business from doing so without your permission.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

By the way, I suggest that you try to associate your logo with nice, funny, or pleasant <\/i>looking pictures, and not pictures of disasters or accidents. That way you avoid the public relating your proposal with negative thoughts.<\/p>\n

I also recommend placing your watermark<\/i><\/b> in an area of the image that accompanies<\/i> the composition rather than interrupting<\/i> it or covering it up.\u00a0A good place for them is the lower right corner or in any corner of the photo. It’s a good idea to avoid use overly large watermarks because they take away from fulling enjoying the photograph.<\/p>\n

Place\u00a0the watermark where it can be seen without disturbing the overall appreciation of the image.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
