Extra Tips

  • Batch Processing: For high-volume tasks, you can apply consistent watermarking styles across multiple images to maintain visual uniformity.

  • Direct Document Integration: Once edited, the watermarked image can be saved directly and inserted into WPS Writer or Presentation, eliminating the need for intermediate file exports.


Why Use WPS Photos?

Unlike standalone watermarking tools that require file uploads or subscriptions, WPS Photos lets you complete the entire watermarking workflow offline within the WPS ecosystem, ensuring data security and seamless integration with your existing documents.
