How to watermark multiple images with Irfanview?

Some people asked me what program do I use to watermark my images or photos. Well, for most of my 'watermark' jobs that requires many photos to be marked, I'd say use Irfanview because it's free, lightweight and powerful. If you don't have Irfanview, you can download it here. Ok let's get on with the watermark tutorial.

Start Irfanview. Goto File>Thumbnails or press T. And the thumbnails window will open up. Browse to the folder where your images or photos are by using the left panel. Then select/highlight the photos for 'watermarking'.

After that, right click on any of the selected/highlighted photos and select option 'Start batch dialog with selected files...'or press B.

At the 'Batch Conversion' window, tick 'Use advanced options(for bulk resize...)'. And click the 'Advanced' button.

Next, tick 'Add overlay text' and click the 'Settings' button at the 'Set for all images' window.

'Add overlay text to images' window will popup. Here you can customize your watermark, such as changing font, positioning etc. Once you're done, press OK. Then at the 'Set for all images' window, press OK.

Now you'll be back at the 'Batch Conversion' window. Goto 'Output directory for result files' to choose where you want the 'watermarked' photos saved. Click the Browse button and choose destination folder, and then press OK. Start your batch watermark by pressing the 'Start Batch' button.

A batch conversion window will popup showing the status of the 'watermark'. The 'watermarking' process should finish without errors. I hope this little tutorial helped you.
