The Gallery settings page controls the watermark applied to images in your gallery and proofs. Watermarks help protect your artwork and clearly mark images as proofs before an order is approved. You can use either a text watermark or an image watermark.
Choose a watermark type
- Go to Settings → Gallery.
- Choose Text to stamp words like "PROOF" across images, or Image to overlay a logo or graphic.
- Configure the options for the type you chose (see below).
- Click Save.
A live preview helps you see how the watermark will look before you commit.
Text watermark options
When using a text watermark, you can set:
- Watermark text — the words to display (for example, PROOF).
- Font size and color.
- Opacity — how see-through the mark is.
- Position — center, tiled across the image, or diagonal.
- Angle and margin for fine-tuning placement.
Image watermark options
When using an image watermark, you can:
- Upload a watermark image. There is no option to reuse your shop logo as the watermark — the logo is only used to draw the sample image in the preview.
- Set opacity, scale, and position (center, tile, or diagonal).
- Adjust margin and angle to control placement.
Reprocess existing images
If you change your watermark after images already exist, you can reapply it:
- Make your watermark changes and select Save.
- If your gallery already contains images, an Update Existing Images? prompt appears automatically after the save succeeds. There is no separate reprocess button to press at any other time.
- Choose Apply to All Images to reprocess, or Skip to leave existing images as they are.
- Watch the progress card, which shows how many images are completed and any failures.
Note
because the prompt only appears straight after a successful save, the way to reprocess later is to open the page, save again, and answer the prompt.
This keeps your whole gallery consistent with your latest watermark instead of only affecting new uploads.
Tips
- Keep opacity high enough to deter misuse but low enough that customers can still evaluate the design.
- Diagonal or tiled positioning is harder to crop out than a single centered mark.
- Preview before saving, and accept the reprocess prompt after any change so existing proofs match your new settings.
