Watermarking your photos before sharing them on Facebook can turn out to be a truly beneficial step.
First of all, this an efficient way to discourage image theft. Unfortunately many Facebook users copy and use other users’ original photos on their profile or website without giving the proper credit. By inserting a watermark you publicly claim the rights to those pictures and that they can’t be used elsewhere online without your prior permission.
In addition to protecting your photos, let’s not forget that there’s also a marketing side to adding a watermark. By placing your logo or signature on high-quality photos you get to benefit from more exposure, reach new audiences and drive traffic to your company website or blog.
If you’re sold on the advantages of watermarking, go ahead and take a look at these iPhone apps designed to help you protect and advertise your work:
