Here are 5 Best Free Software to add watermarks to images. These software let you watermark your images in batch.
Everyone wants to protect their images/photos from being copied, misused, or stolen. There are several ways to do so: one is by disabling the right-click option on the image/photo; the other is by adding a transparent gif image on top of the image/photo to be protected. However, these methods either consume a lot of time, or they can be worked around.
The best way to authenticate and declare ownership is to copyright your photo. Efficient and easy to use, watermarking can be done on one, or on several batches of photos/images with a single go. Though popular photo editing software like Adobe Photoshop provide this facility, there are many good free watermarking softwareavailable, and those that can even perform batch watermarking.

5. Kigo Image Converter
Kigo Image Converter is probably my favorite software from all these. It can not only batch watermark images, it can also convert images to different formats, and scale images.
Kigo Image Converter:
This batch watermarking software offers perhaps the most user-friendly interface, even friendlier than that of Alamoon Watermark. Kigo is designed for batch conversion of images from either a single format, or from multiple formats, to a single target format. Kigo can reduce storage size to fit the requirement of some websites. Kigo does this by scaling down the width and height of image files, or by selecting a compression format to match the target image file size. The latter is not a very efficient option.
Kigo – Use as a watermark printer:
Kigo Image Converter is also a handy tool as watermark printer operating in ‘Batch’ mode. You can select text or image as watermark, position the watermark, adjust the font and text of watermark. You can also select an image as watermark now. It allows you to add watermark to all images you select, in one go.
Combined Functionalities – Formatting and watermarking:
Probably the best feature of Kigo Image Converter is its ability to not only batch-format images, but also simultaneously watermark them. After selecting the watermark, positioning it, and adjusting its font and text, you can set the image conversion options. Now you are ready. Just click on the “Convert” button. It changes the image format, scales the image size, and more importantly, adds watermark at the same time, all automatically! Now, Kigo is also supporting images to be used as watermark, in addition to text.
