Steps to Insert a Watermark on an Image in the Social Planner

In the modern digital landscape, safeguarding your brand and its content on social media is essential. One practical method to achieve this is by incorporating watermarks into your images shared on social platforms.

Why Use Watermarks?

Adding a watermark to your social media images comes with several advantages:

• Brand Security: It helps protect your content from being shared without proper credit.

• Enhanced Brand Visibility: Watermarks serve as constant reminders of your brand, boosting recognition.

• Copyright Assurance: A watermark shows that the content is under your ownership.

• Uniform Brand Identity: It assists in building a consistent visual presence across multiple platforms.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Adding Watermarks

1. Locating the Watermark Option:

• Open the social media planning tool by navigating to 'Marketing' from the left-hand menu, then click on 'Social Media Planner' at the top.

• Select the settings icon located on the right side to find the watermark feature.

2. Creating a Watermark:

• After clicking on “Watermark”, select "+ Add Watermark".

• Name your watermark and upload an image (ideal size is 200x200 pixels for clarity).

• Adjust the watermark's alignment (left, right, center, top, or bottom), and position it as needed.

• Modify the transparency to control how visible the watermark appears.

• Scale the watermark to ensure it fits appropriately on your images.

• Enable or disable the auto padding option, which sets the spacing between the watermark and the image edge.

Create Watermark

Once all adjustments are made, click "Create" to finalize and save your watermark.

Key Considerations:

• This feature currently supports images only and is not available for video posts.

• The watermark will be applied to all connected social media accounts within the CRM.

Troubleshooting and Common Questions

• My watermark isn't appearing on my post—what’s the issue? Make sure the watermark option is activated in the 'Advanced Options' of your post. Additionally, verify that the opacity and scale settings are correct.

• Can I use different watermarks for different posts? At the moment, only one watermark can be applied at a time. You can change the watermark in the settings, but it will apply to all future posts until adjusted again.

This approach helps ensure your brand’s identity and content are well-protected and consistently visible across platforms.
