Why it exists
Stop burning hours watermarking one image at a time.
Most watermarking tools are browser tabs, cloud services, or throwaway apps that upload your images before they are even protected. Slow, limited, and weak where it matters most: control, privacy, and repeatability.
Watermark Gienie is a real desktop application that runs on your machine, Windows or Mac. No subscription. No upload limits. No waiting for a server response. Your images, your computer, your rules.
Batch workflows for client delivery, archive prep, web export, and repeat studio jobs.
One tool for layered watermarks, metadata, borders, output sizing, and compression.
Consistent repeatable setups through saved presets. Build once, run forever.
New in version 3.3 & 3.4
Built on real production requests.
Three features shipped since the last major release. Every one earns its place the same way everything else in this app does: a real workflow problem, solved once, running automatically from then on.
New in 3.4
Camera Info Overlay.
Every export can now carry its own shot data. Shutter speed, aperture, ISO, focal length, lens, and camera body, read straight from the embedded EXIF and drawn as a clean icon panel directly on the image.
Vertical or horizontal layout, lower-left or lower-right placement, full control over colour, box fill, and opacity. Nothing to type per image: it reads every file's real metadata automatically, and skips any field a shot doesn't have.
New in 3.3
SEO-Compliant Filenames.
Every export can be renamed automatically from your image's own IPTC/XMP keywords: brand-keyword-city.webp. Lowercase, hyphenated, stop-words dropped, capped at 50 characters.
A Brand Identifier field anchors every name, protected terms keep compound brands like DoWest whole, and client deliverables keep their original filenames while the web/social set gets the SEO treatment, all in one batch.
Photo Filters
Eight Film-Grade Colour Grades.
Black & White, High Contrast, Warm Tone, Cool Tone, Desaturated, Film Grain, Vintage Fade, and Crushed Blacks, each at a variable intensity from 0–100%, applied before your watermarks are composited so the grade sits under everything else exactly like it would in your normal edit.
A whole batch, one look, in one pass. No round-trip to Lightroom for a quick delivery set.

Made by a working photographer
Built to solve a real production problem.
Watermark Gienie was built by Glen E. Grant, a commercial and editorial photographer based in Ontario, Canada, with 25-plus years of professional shooting experience and 35-plus years in IT.
This tool was built to solve a real workflow: batch-watermarking thousands of images for client delivery, archiving, and stock submission. Fast, private, and without a monthly fee.
No images are ever uploaded. No API calls to an external service. No hidden cost. Local processing only, from first load to final export.
FAQ
Direct answers before you download.
Does it work on Mac or Linux?
Yes. Watermark Gienie runs natively on Windows 10/11 and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel). The macOS build is not yet code-signed, so the first launch requires a right-click → Open instead of a normal double-click, macOS Gatekeeper's standard prompt for independently distributed apps. Linux is not currently supported.
Do my images get uploaded anywhere?
No. All processing happens entirely on your local machine. No images, metadata, or personal data are sent to any server at any point during the workflow.
What file formats does it accept?
JPEG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, and BMP are supported as input. Output formats are JPEG, WebP, and PNG with configurable compression quality per run.
Can I use it without a licence?
Yes. The Demo version is free with no time limit. It processes up to 10 images per batch with all features fully enabled.
What does the Pro licence include?
Unlimited batch size up to 5,000 images, removal of the Demo badge from the interface, and all future version updates at no additional cost.
How do I activate my Pro licence?
After purchase you receive your licence details. Activation happens inside the app through the registered-user workflow. No internet connection required after activation.
What are the system requirements?
Windows 10/11 or macOS 12+ (Apple Silicon or Intel), a modern processor (4 cores or more recommended), and at least 8 GB RAM for comfortable large-batch processing. No GPU requirement.
