This guide is designed for users of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced, ensuring everyone can protect their brand and enhance their online presence effectively.

Why Add Watermarks?

Adding watermarks to your social media images offers several benefits:

  1. Brand Protection: It safeguards your content from being used without attribution.
  2. Increased Brand Awareness: A watermark acts as a constant reminder of your brand, enhancing visibility.
  3. Copyright Protection: It signifies ownership of the content.
  4. Consistent Brand Recognition: Helps in establishing a uniform brand identity across various platforms.

Upload your watermark image. Ensure the image is 200×200 pixels for optimal clarity. – Choose the watermark’s alignment (left, right, center, top, or bottom) and adjust its position as desired. 

Adjust the opacity to make the watermark more or less visible according to your preference. – Scale the size of your watermark to fit your images perfectly. 

Decide on the auto padding feature, which determines the space between the watermark and the image edge.

Important Notes: 

– The watermark feature is currently available for images only, not videos. 

– The watermark will be applied to all social media accounts linked to the CRM.

Troubleshooting and FAQs

My watermark isn’t showing on the post. What could be wrong? Ensure the watermark feature is toggled on in the ‘Advanced Options’ of your post. Also, check if the watermark’s opacity and scale are set correctly.

Can I use different watermarks for different posts? Currently, the CRM supports one watermark at a time. You can change your watermark in the settings, but it will be applied to all future posts until changed again.
