TSR Watermark Image is a batch image processor for placing visible ownership marks on photographs and graphics. It takes a list or folder of source images, applies one or more text or image layers, then writes new copies to a destination. TSR Watermark Image can also resize, rotate, rename, convert, and preserve selected metadata during that pass. This differs from typing text onto one photo in an editor: one saved profile can repeat the same position and output rules across an entire delivery folder.
Build the mark
A text watermark can use a selected font, color, angle, transparency, border, or embossed effect. An image watermark can use a logo with transparency and scale relative to the result. Position controls place the mark at a standard anchor or an adjusted offset. Multiple watermarks can appear on the same output when the selected edition supports that workflow.
The preview deserves attention before processing a large batch. A fixed pixel size may dominate a small image and disappear on a large one. A percentage-based size follows output width more consistently, but a portrait crop can still place the mark over a face or caption. One preview photo cannot expose every composition in a mixed folder.
Choose the copies
TSR Watermark Image writes JPEG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, or GIF output and can resize while it applies the mark. It can preserve the source folder structure beneath a new destination or combine all processed images in one directory. The destination rule decides what happens when a filename already exists.
Choosing Skip leaves an older result untouched, which can make a rerun look complete even though it did not use the revised watermark. Choosing Overwrite replaces the prior output. TSR Watermark Image protects the original source from direct overwrite, but the destination can still contain the only edited copy. A separate destination and a small test batch make the chosen behavior visible before thousands of files run.
Metadata follows too
The output controls can preserve EXIF camera data, XMP fields, IPTC fields, and other supported metadata. Automatic rotation reads the orientation stored by a camera and turns the output before saving. JPEG quality and DPI have their own settings and do not mean the same thing as pixel dimensions.
Preserving metadata can carry location coordinates, device details, capture times, or author fields into an image intended for public upload. Removing all metadata avoids that disclosure but also removes useful copyright and camera information. The right choice depends on where the result goes. A visible watermark and an EXIF copyright field are separate layers of information.
Profiles and editions
A profile remembers watermark and output choices for repeated jobs. This suits a photographer who prepares one set for a website and another for proofs. Some editions add several output destinations, WordPress or FTP upload, extra fonts, and broader metadata handling.
The trial writes an unregistered notice onto generated images. That notice is part of the output, so a trial batch is unsuitable as a final client delivery even when the custom logo looks correct. Edition differences also mean that a control shown in the feature matrix may not work in the installed license. Checking one finished image in the actual destination is more reliable than checking the preview alone.
Visible limits
A watermark discourages casual reuse and keeps attribution visible after an image leaves its original page. It does not encrypt the image or stop cropping, retouching, screenshots, and generative removal. A large central mark is harder to remove but also covers more of the photograph. A small corner logo preserves the picture but can disappear with a simple crop.
The publisher’s public change history has not shown recent active development. TSR Watermark Image may still complete its established job, but new camera metadata, image formats, and online upload changes can outpace an older build. Keeping original photos outside the output tree protects the irreplaceable files if a format or metadata field behaves unexpectedly.
