# Add a watermark to images

A watermark puts text, such as your organization's name, or a logo over the images people view in Revis. It applies to images uploaded after you turn it on, in your whole organization. Videos and PDFs aren't watermarked.

::: info Before you start

* **Who:** organization Owners and Admins.
* **Where:** the web app.
  :::

## Turn on the watermark

1. Select your organization's icon at the top of the sidebar, then the gear next to its name (**Organization settings**).
2. Select **Watermarks** and turn on **Enable Watermarks**.
3. In **Watermark Text**, enter up to 200 characters. Select {{org_name}} under the box to insert your organization's name.
4. Under **Appearance**, choose a **Position**: one of nine spots, **Diagonal** (the default), or **Tiled**. Adjust **Font Size**, **Opacity**, **Text Color**, **Stroke Color**, and **Stroke Opacity** if you like.
5. Check that **Images** is ticked under **Apply To**.
6. Select **Save Changes**.

## Add a logo

1. Under **Logo Watermark**, select the empty square and choose a PNG file up to 5 MB and 2048 × 2048 px. A transparent background works best.
2. Set its size with **Logo Scale**.
3. Select **Save Changes**.

The logo always goes in the bottom-right corner, wherever you put the text.

## Preview the watermark

Select **Generate Preview** under **Preview**. revis.io shows the watermark on a sample image, using your settings as they are now, so you don't need to save first. A logo you've just chosen appears in the preview only after you save.

## What gets watermarked

* **New images only:** the copies revis.io makes to display an image, and its thumbnails, carry the watermark. Images uploaded before you turned it on keep their copies without one.
* **Originals stay untouched:** **Download Original** gives the file as it was uploaded, with no watermark. To stop people downloading originals, turn off **Original Item File** under **Downloads**.
* **Your settings change later images:** after you edit the watermark, images uploaded from then on use the new one.
