How to Add Watermarks in PrestaShop

Unique product images are one of the factors determining a trustworthy web store. Unfortunately, well-made and accurately processed product photos are often stolen by the managers of other online shops having no desire or possibility to create their own images.

Watermarking is the best solution for protecting your product images from theft. A watermark is put directly on an image, and nobody except you will be able to remove it. This should be something representing your web store, for example company logo or name etc.

What Should a PrestaShop Watermark Look Like?

Making your watermark big and maximally distinct does not seem to be a good idea. It will hide a big part of the main image and will obviously distract users. A relatively small though eye-catching watermark with 50% opacity instead would be the best option.

The best place to put your watermark would be in the corner of an image. Such position will make it be easily noticed but undistracting.
