How to use

Adding a watermark to an animated GIF is quick and simple. Follow these steps to apply your logo, brand mark, or image overlay while keeping your animation smooth.

  1. 1

  2. 2

    Add Your Watermark Image

    Upload the image you want to use as your watermark (PNG, JPG, WebP, or GIF). For logos and brand marks, transparent PNG files usually provide the cleanest results.

  3. 3

    Choose where your watermark should appear on the animation, including Top left, Top right, Center, Bottom left, or Bottom right.

  4. 4

    Customize Size and Appearance

    Adjust watermark scale, opacity level, edge padding, and rotation angle to match your branding without distracting from the animation.

  5. 5

    Preview the Watermarked GIF

    Use the live preview to compare the original GIF with the branded version before exporting, verifying logo placement, transparency, and animation flow.

  6. 6

    Download Your Branded GIF

    Once the result looks correct, export and download your updated GIF with full animation timing, loop behavior, and transparency intact.

How It Works

How GIF Watermark Adder Works

GIF Watermark Adder applies your selected image watermark across an animated GIF while preserving the original animation structure. The tool combines your watermark with each frame inside your browser and creates a new branded GIF file.

Reading the Original Animation

Decodes all frames, delay timings, playback speed, and loop settings directly in the browser without altering the source file.

Preparing the Watermark Image

Processes PNG, JPEG, WebP, or GIF overlays, with transparent PNGs naturally blending into animated backgrounds.

Scaling and Positioning

Calculates proportional height from width scale, applying precise offsets and rotation angles without stretching.

Compositing Across Every Frame

Renders the watermark onto each individual frame while isolating canvas states to prevent transparency ghosting.

Optimizing the Output GIF

Re-encodes frames using gifenc with 400,000-pixel palette quantization, Floyd-free color matching, and full loop behavior.

Browser-Based Privacy

Every frame is processed locally inside your browser memory so your source files and logo assets never touch external servers.
