How it works

When this matters

Use this when clients need to browse or favorite images while you still want visible proof protection on previews.

Watermarks are useful when clients need to review or proof images before final delivery decisions are finished. SendPhoto supports watermark presets, watermark preview generation, and gallery-level application.

Watermark controls can also be disabled or re-enabled per collection, which helps when one gallery needs different treatment across proofing, selects, and final delivery groups.

  • Watermark presets for gallery previews
  • Gallery-wide watermark application
  • Watermark removal when protection is no longer needed
  • Disable or re-enable watermarks per collection
  • Preview watermark output before relying on it

Practical setup

Preview protection that stays inside the gallery

Watermarks can protect client browsing without forcing duplicate exports or a second delivery workflow.

Watermark presets and previews

Photographers can create watermark presets, preview output, apply a watermark to a gallery, and remove it again when the delivery stage changes.

  • Create reusable watermark presets
  • Preview watermark output before relying on it
  • Apply or remove watermarking at gallery level

Text and image watermark controls

Watermark presets can be tailored for the photographer's brand, with controls for text or image watermarks, placement, size, opacity, rotation, margin, font, and color.

  • Text or image watermark presets
  • Placement, size, opacity, rotation, and margin controls
  • Font and color choices for text watermarks

Collection-level control

Watermarks can be disabled or re-enabled for collections, which helps when a single gallery contains proofing images and final delivery images.

  • Protect proofing collections
  • Leave final collections clean when appropriate
  • Avoid splitting one job across multiple galleries

Watermarked previews for client browsing

The client gallery can show watermarked preview assets when watermarking is enabled, so proofing protection stays part of the normal gallery experience.

  • Watermarked previews for client browsing
  • Protection stays with the gallery view
  • Final collections can be handled differently when needed

Best fit

Proofing before final selections are paid or approved

Senior portraits, school photos, and commercial previews

Any gallery where clients browse before receiving clean final files
