Set up signatures and auto-watermarks

A signature is your mark — a text wordmark or an image logo — that you build once and reuse everywhere. Done well it protects your work and spreads your name, like a painter’s signature in the corner of a canvas. Crucially, your original files always stay clean.

Build your signature

1. Go to Dashboard → Signatures.
2. Create a text signature (your name or studio, styled) or upload an image signature (a logo PNG).
3. Set its placement, opacity, and scale presets so it sits like a signature, not a billboard.

Use it three ways

• In an editor — while editing a photo in My Studio, the toolbar Signature button drops it on as a layer.
• Auto-apply on upload — switch this on per album so new photos are signed automatically.
• Watermark on client download — set this per shared gallery so the copies clients download carry your mark.

Originals stay clean

Fotofolio never burns a watermark into your master file. Signatures are applied to the copies shown and downloaded — so you can change or remove your mark later, deliver clean files to paying clients, and sign public previews, all from one untouched original.

Tips

• Keep it subtle. Small, corner, semi-transparent. If the watermark is the first thing you notice, dial it back.
• Sign public previews, not paid files. Clients who paid should get clean images.
