How to add a logo or watermark to a video
Short answer
Add a small, semi-transparent logo in a corner that is clear of platform buttons and captions. Keep it consistent across videos and do not let it cover faces. Avoid reposting clips with another app's watermark, as platforms may deprioritise them. Add the logo in your editor after rendering with a skill.
How do you place it?
- Small and slightly transparent
- In a corner clear of buttons
- Same spot every time
- Never over the face or captions
How does it fit with skills?
Render the edit with Explainer or any style, then add the logo in your editor so you can reuse the same overlay.
What should you avoid?
Large logos and watermarks from other apps.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a watermark?
A watermark is optional. Add a small logo if brand recognition matters, and skip it if it distracts from the video.
Where should it go?
Place it in a corner that is clear of platform buttons and captions, and keep it in the same position across videos.
Does it protect my content?
Only mildly. A small logo is easy to crop out, so treat it as branding rather than real protection against copying.
Can I animate it?
You can, but keep any animation subtle and short so it does not distract from the message or the speaker.
What file format for a logo?
PNG with transparency.
