Easily apply watermarks to your photos with Fast Watermark.

Adding a watermark is probably the best way to protect your online photos. It won't stop people from using them, but at least they'll have your name on them wherever they go!

This program doesn't require installation, so just unzip the contents of the file into any folder and you're good to go. Fast Watermark's interface has two main areas: one to design the watermark in itself and the other one to select the pictures you want to apply it to. The whole process is really easy and shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes.

That said, Fast Watermarks lacks options you find in other similar applications: for example, you can only use text (and not graphics). Also, there is no support for transparency effects or shadows. Finally, we weren't impressed with Fast Watermark's option to use the mouse to place the watermark - it's jumpy and inaccurate, and all in all pretty frustrating.

Fast Watermark is a quick, simple tool that enables you to add a basic watermark to your photos, but lacks some advanced tools you find in similar programs.
