In this episode, we break down the basics of watermarking—what it is, why it matters, and how you can use it to protect your creative work online. A watermark is a visible mark, such as a logo, text, or signature, added to photos, videos, or documents to claim ownership. While it doesn’t prevent someone from sharing or downloading your work, it ensures that your name or brand is always attached. We’ll cover best practices for watermarking, common mistakes to avoid, and simple tools you can use to add watermarks without hurting the quality of your content. If you’re an author, photographer, artist, or content creator, watermarking is a smart way to safeguard your work while building your brand identity.
