Before enabling watermark settings in a gallery, you must first upload a watermark in your **general watermark settings**. You can then customize how and where the watermark appears. ### **Important Notes:** - Watermarks **do not appear** on **high-resolution downloads, printed photos, or GIFs** when using Pass+ watermarking. - By default, the watermark **applies to all galleries** once uploaded. To remove watermarks from multiple galleries at once, contact support. - Watermarks **cannot be added** to a gallery’s **cover photo**. To watermark a cover image, apply the watermark externally before uploading. #### **Setting Up General Watermark Settings** 1. **Go to** **Settings** from the **Main Dashboard**. ![](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-29-2025-05-36-59-0199-PM.png?width=1165&height=723&name=image-png-Mar-29-2025-05-36-59-0199-PM.png) 2. **Navigate to** the **Brand & Style** tab and choose a **Flexible** or **Burned** watermark: - **Flexible Watermark** – Can be toggled on/off per scene or user type. Does **not** require re-uploading images. - **Burned Watermark** – Permanently embedded in low-resolution images upon upload. Requires **re-uploading images** if settings are changed. ![](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-29-2025-05-38-23-2733-PM.png?width=1523&height=729&name=image-png-Mar-29-2025-05-38-23-2733-PM.png) 3. **Upload your watermark**: - Choose **Watermark 1** or **Watermark 2** (Pass+ supports two different watermarks). - Upload a **PNG file** with a transparent background (**recommended size: 600×280 px**). ![](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-29-2025-05-40-15-2452-PM.png?width=1205&height=605&name=image-png-Mar-29-2025-05-40-15-2452-PM.png) 4. **Set watermark position and size**: - **Fit size** – Adjusts to the shortest side of the photo. - **Fill size** – Adjusts to the longest side of the photo. ![](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-29-2025-05-41-52-4102-PM.png?width=789&height=511&name=image-png-Mar-29-2025-05-41-52-4102-PM.png) 5. **Optional**: Enable **AI Watermark Protector** for additional security against bulk watermark removal. ![](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-29-2025-05-42-58-7169-PM.png?width=787&height=611&name=image-png-Mar-29-2025-05-42-58-7169-PM.png) 6.
