How to Add a Watermark to Images and Create Branded Posts

Introduction

Maintaining a consistent brand image across various social media platforms is crucial. Ready Social empowers users by allowing them to add custom watermarks to their image posts. This feature enhances brand recognition and safeguards visual content from unauthorized use. By embedding a watermark, businesses and creators can ensure their brand's presence is subtly showcased in every shared image, enhancing their market visibility and brand recall.

Ready Social offers two methods for integrating watermarks: one allows for automatic application across all posts for an account, while the other offers customization for individual posts.

Automatic Watermark Addition at an Account Level

You can set up a custom watermark for a single social media account, and every image post you publish from that point will have that watermark. You upload any image you want and customize it within Ready Social using the in-app editor. The resultant watermark you save for that specific account will be carried by every image post you publish through Ready Social on that account.

Here are the simple steps to follow to set up a watermark for a specific social account:

1. Select Manage Accounts and choose the desired account.

2. Click on the Edit button.

3. In the edit menu, select Watermarks.

4. Upload your watermark image. You can upload it from your cloud storage or local device, or create it using Canva. After uploading, you can adjust it using the in-app editor for any modifications, such as cropping, filtering, or adding text.

   

   ⚠️ Note: The watermark image should be in PNG, JPG, and WEBP format

5. The next step is to set the opacity, size, and position of your watermark.

6. After adjusting everything, confirm the watermark settings.

7. You can copy this watermark to other accounts by clicking 'Copy to other account' and then selecting the desired accounts from the list.

   

Adding Watermarks to Individual Posts
