How To Watermark Photographs Using Picmonkey

by



I’d like to show you How To Watermark Photographs Using Picmonkey.

PicMonkey is a great photo editing website. 
I find it user friendly and easy to navigate.
I’m not paid by or affiliated with PicMonkey.
I just love it.
And I think you’ll love it too!



Watermarking your photos is important if you share them anywhere on the internet. 
Period.
 
It simply says… this is my property.



 
Here is an example of a photo with no watermark.
 
 
A dishonest person could, for instance, easily write a blog post claiming they picked these flowers from their garden and arranged them.
And oh aren’t they just lovely.
Or, maybe their hubby or latest boy-toy 
brought them home to them.
Blah~blah… whatever.
You get the picture {no pun intended} right?
 
All it takes is a little something 
to protect your flowers, your kitchen remodel, 
a handmade craft… 
even your KIDS!
 
Here is an example of a photo with a watermark.
 
 
Step-by-Step Watermarking Instructions.
 
1. Open picmonkey.com
2. Click on the box that says;
edit your photo
(This will open your browser)
3. Select the photo you want to watermark.


The Page Will Look Like This;

 

4. Click the P.
5. Enter the TEXT you desire. 
It will appear in the box.
6. Next, select the FONT you wish to use.
7. Click thegreen ADD button under the text box.
8. Your text will appear on the photo.
9. You can drag the text anywhere on the photo.
10. There are many option available for the text;
color, fade, bold, italic, placement, size, blend modes 
and delete (if you want to start over). 
11. When you are happy with your final selections,  click off/away from the white drag and drop working box and your text will be on the photo.
12. Hit SAVE. (in the lower left hand side)
– A “save to my computer” box will pop up.
– Click the green save photo button.
– Name your photo in the file name slot.
– Rename your photograph if you would like the keep the original
non edited version. This way you will have both.
– Add .jpg to the end of your photo name.
– Hit save in your pop up box. 


There are prompts. 
It’s easier then it sounds when written out. 
Promise!


All done. You did it!


It is very simple. Don’t be afraid.
Click around & play away!


I hope you found this tutorial clear and easy to use.
If you need more help I am happy to give it.
 I will answer any questions the best that I can.

    Great tutorial! I’ve been using picmonkey a bit lately, and I really like it. I’m so ready for them to have the collage option! I’m following you via Bloglovin’ now! 🙂

    Shannon- Thank you so much! I soooo need to learn to do a few of these things! You’re a doll for posting this tutorial. I have been to picmonkey and it looks simple enough that even I might be able to use it! xo Diana

    This is great! I discovered Pic Monkey through miss gracies house, but haven’t done much with it. I have been watermarking through an old Photoshop Elements that I have, but free is great! I created a separate file for my watermarked photos to make it easier to find them later and keeps them separate from the non marked photos. Thanks for sharing this info so clearly! 🙂

    I’m loving PicMonkey myself and now use it all of the time without Picnik around. Great tutorial and so easy to do. Now if they would get the collage up and going.
    Have a great weekend

    Thanks Shanon! This is something important for bloggers to know! And it is really, really easy isn’t it! PicMonkey is my new best friend…loving that site!

  11. Jane@Cottage at the Crossroads says

    Shannon, this is a great tutorial! I have started using PicMonkey and I love it, but I had been watermarking in another program. You may want to remind folks to keep an original photo because as a newbie, I didn’t know to do that!

    thanks Shannon great post! I have never used pic monkey nor do I protect my pics.(see last post) I will certainly give it a try. Cheers SpecialK XoXo
