## Introduction

Adding logos and watermarks to your images is important for protecting your brand identity and indicating your copyright. However, adding them correctly is critical. In this guide, you'll learn important points to consider when adding logos and watermarks.

## Logo and Watermark Placement

### Location Selection

*   **Corners:** Bottom right or bottom left corner (most common)
*   **Center:** More visible but can disrupt image
*   **Edge:** Placement on image edge
*   **Important:** Don't cover main elements of image

### Size and Opacity

*   **Size:** Should be about 5-10% of image
*   **Opacity:** Between 50-70% (shouldn't be too opaque)
*   **Readability:** Should be clear and readable

## Design Tips

### 1. Color Selection

*   Colors compatible with image
*   Sufficient contrast
*   Transparent background (use PNG)

### 2. Style and Format

*   Minimalist design
*   Clean and professional appearance
