Visible watermarks, invisible watermarks, metadata scrubbing — and a page to share it all.
Watermarkly is a popular browser-based tool for adding visible watermarks — text or logo — to photos in bulk, with handy extras like crop, resize and compress. Processing happens in your browser, which is great for privacy. But it's a focused utility: it stamps visible marks on images and stops there — no invisible watermarks, no video, no metadata stripping, and no page for your audience.
We're biased — but honest.
Watermarkly does one thing well: visible watermarks on photos, in your browser. Obsydian covers the whole protection workflow a creator actually needs — visible watermarks plus an invisible steganographic layer that survives screenshots, automatic EXIF/GPS removal on every image, an on-device video scrubber, and a link-in-bio page to publish from. One tool instead of a utility you bolt onto everything else.
