Add Watermark to Video
Easily add a text or image watermark to your videos online. Customize position, size, font, and color. No uploads required.
What is the Add Watermark to Video Tool?
The Add Watermark to Video tool lets you overlay a text or image watermark onto your videos entirely in your browser. Whether you need to protect your content with a copyright notice, brand your videos with a logo, or add a subtle signature, this tool processes everything client-side using FFmpeg.wasm. Your files never leave your device.
You can customize the watermark position, font, size, color, and opacity for text watermarks, or upload a PNG/JPG logo for image watermarks. The original audio track is preserved in the output.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are my video files uploaded to any server?
No. All processing is done locally in your browser using FFmpeg.wasm. Your video files never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.
What video formats are supported?
The tool supports common video formats including MP4, WebM, MOV, and AVI. The output format matches the input format (MP4 for MOV and WebM inputs).
Does the watermark affect the original video quality?
The tool preserves the original video quality as much as possible. It copies the video codec without re-encoding when feasible and keeps the original audio track intact.
Is there a file size limit?
Since processing happens entirely in your browser, the only limit is your device's available memory and processing power. Larger or longer videos may take more time and system resources.
Can I add both text and image watermarks at the same time?
Currently, the tool supports adding one watermark at a time (either text or image). You can run the tool multiple times on the same video to add multiple watermarks if needed.
