Photo Watermarking & Gallery Protection Software

Watermarking protects preview images in a client gallery from being used before they're paid for, while keeping the full-resolution originals locked behind checkout.

A gallery full of unwatermarked, full-resolution images is a gallery full of images someone could screenshot or right-click and use for free. Watermarking solves this at the preview stage, keeping browsing open while the real asset stays gated.

What customisable watermarking needs

  • Your own text or logo, not a generic platform stamp.
  • Adjustable opacity so it protects without ruining the preview.
  • A choice of placement — tiled across the image, centred, or a single corner.

lemon.gallery's watermark settings

Set your own watermark text or upload a logo, choose the opacity, and pick tiled, centred or corner placement — applied automatically to every preview image, while full-resolution originals stay behind purchase or your chosen access settings.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use my logo instead of text?

Yes — upload a logo image to use as the watermark instead of text.

Does watermarking apply automatically to every gallery?

Yes, using your account-wide default settings, which you can also override per gallery.

Can clients download watermark-free previews?

No — watermarked previews are for browsing; full-resolution originals require purchase or your chosen free-download setting.
