If I change my Standard watermark, do my old photos change too?

No. The Standard watermark is added to each photo while it uploads, so it becomes part of the photo. A new watermark is used only for photos you upload after you save it.

Can I remove the watermark from photos I already uploaded?

No. To get those photos without a watermark, turn off Add Watermark? on the event page and upload them again.

Does the Standard watermark cost anything?

No. It is free on every plan, and a watermarked photo counts as one photo, the same as any Standard upload.

Why is there no watermark on my Original uploads?

The Standard watermark is only used for Standard uploads. Photos uploaded with Original Upload use the Original watermark, which you set up separately.

Can I use a different Standard watermark for one event?

No. There is one Standard watermark for your whole account. You can skip it for an upload with the Add Watermark? switch. If you need a different watermark for one event, use Original Upload and give that event its own Original watermark.

What file works best for a logo?

A PNG with a transparent background. White or light logos show up best on most photos. Files up to 25 MB are accepted.

Kamero Standard Watermark: Add Your Logo at Upload

The Standard watermark is your logo or studio name, added to photos as you upload them with Standard Upload. You set it up once for your account, and it is used on every event.

Standard and Original watermarks

Kamero has two watermarks. Which one a photo gets depends on how you upload it.

Standard watermark: for photos uploaded with Standard Upload. It is added while the photo uploads and becomes part of the photo. Changing it later does not change photos you already uploaded.
Original watermark: for photos uploaded with Original Upload. It is shown on top of the photo when guests view it, so you can change it at any time and every photo updates. See Original watermark.

Neither watermark costs extra.

How to open the watermark page

Click the palette icon in the top menu of the dashboard. It is labelled Watermark when you hover over it.

The dashboard top menu with the palette icon for Watermark highlighted — The palette icon opens the watermark page.

You can also open an event and click Standard Watermark next to the Standard Upload button.

The Standard Upload and Original Upload panels on an event page, with Standard Watermark, Add Watermark? and Original Watermark buttons — Each upload panel has a button for its own watermark.

The page opens with two cards at the top. Standard Watermark is marked ACTIVE because you are on it. Configure on the Original Watermark card takes you to the Original watermark page.

The Standard watermark page. Your settings are on the left and a sample photo is on the right.

Set up your watermark

Under Choose Position, pick the corner: Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left or Bottom Right. Bottom Right is the default.
Under Watermark Type, choose Image Watermark for a logo, or Text Watermark for words.
Upload your logo, or type your text (see below).
Turn on Bigger Watermark if you want it larger.
Check the sample photos on the right.
Click Save changes at the top right. You see Watermark saved successfully.

Choose Position with four buttons: Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left and Bottom Right, with Bottom Right selected — The four corners. The selected one is filled in.

Image watermark

Choose Image Watermark and upload your logo. JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, WebP and HEIC files up to 25 MB work. A PNG with a transparent background looks best.

Once a logo is uploaded, a small preview shows with Change and Remove buttons. Both take effect straight away, without Save changes.

All the Standard watermark settings.

Text watermark

Choose Text Watermark. Type your studio name in the first box. The second box is optional, for a website or phone number in smaller text underneath.

Bigger Watermark

Turn on Enable larger watermark size to make the watermark about twice as big. Leave it off for a smaller mark that stays out of the way.

Check the sample photos

The preview has 11 sample photos, light and dark, landscape and portrait. Use the arrows to move between them, or click Gallery to see them full screen. Check that your watermark is easy to see on all of them before you save.

Gallery shows the samples full screen.

Turn the watermark on or off for an upload

On the event page, the Add Watermark? switch sits under the Standard Upload button. When it is on, photos you upload get your Standard watermark. When it is off, they upload without one. Kamero remembers your choice for your next uploads, on every event.

For more on uploading, see Upload photos from the web dashboard.

What guests see

Guests see the watermark on every photo uploaded with it switched on: in the gallery, full screen, and in photos they download or share.

Photos uploaded with the switch on carry the logo.

On your phone

On a phone, tap More in the bottom bar, then Watermark. The page has the same settings, one below the other.

The watermark page on a phone with the Standard Watermark and Original Watermark cards, the preview and Watermark Style — The watermark page on a phone.

Common problems

Old photos still have the old watermark. That is expected. A new watermark is used only for new uploads.
Photos uploaded without a watermark. Check that Add Watermark? was on before you uploaded.
Save changes is greyed out. It turns on only after you change something.
The logo is hard to see on dark photos. Use a white or light version of your logo, or turn on Bigger Watermark.

You can also add your logo and colours to the event page itself. See Event branding.
