# What is a Burned Watermark?

## A burned watermark is a watermark permanently embedded into low-resolution images during the upload process. This ensures that all displayed images—whether in the gallery, share tab, web-size downloads, or store previews—are watermarked at all times.

### **Key Points About Burned Watermarks**:

- **Impact on Galleries**:
  
    - Only galleries uploaded while the setting is enabled will have burned watermarks.
    - If you disable this setting and wish to remove burned watermarks, you must update the watermark settings and re-upload the images into the gallery.
- **Effect on Existing Galleries**:
  
    - Images in galleries uploaded **before** enabling the burned watermark setting will not display the burned watermark.
    - If a gallery had a regular watermark and you switch to burned watermark settings, previously uploaded images will lose the regular watermark unless they are re-uploaded under the new settings.
- **Business Subscription**:
  
    - Burned watermarks are applied based on the brand selected in the gallery's **Name & Cover** tab at the time of upload.

### **Burned Watermark Setup**

1. **Go to Settings**:
   
     - From your **Main Dashboard**, click on **Settings**.
