Watermarking photos before sharing them on Facebook can turn out to be a truly beneficial step.
Foremost, it’s a great way to protect your photos. Many Facebook users copy and use other users’ original photos on their profile or website without giving the proper credit. By inserting a watermark you publicly claim the rights to those pictures and that they can’t be used elsewhere online without your prior permission.
Besides protection, let’s not forget that there’s also a marketing side to watermarking images. By adding your logo or signature to high-quality photos you get to benefit from more exposure, reach new audiences and get them to visit your company website or blog.
If you’re sold on the advantages of watermarking, go ahead and take a look at these iPhone apps designed to help you protect and advertise your work:
