Wix Photo Albums: Adding Watermarks to Your Photos
Important:
It is no longer possible to add Wix Photo Albums Store to your site (as of February 2023). As an alternative, you can add Wix Stores to your site and connect it to Printful to sell your photos.
As of April 2024, it is also no longer possible to add the Wix Photo Albums app to your site. If you already have Wix Photo Albums installed, you can still use the app as normal.
Watermarks help to protect your images from theft. Add watermarks to your photos or thumbnails at any time. You can choose to upload your own watermark so your own branding is attached to your images.

FAQs
Click a question below to learn more information about watermarks.
Is there a limit to the size of the watermark file I can upload?
The limit for images is 40MB, however, it is best to keep the watermark file size small to ensure quick loading times. A PNG file under 1MB is usually sufficient for most purposes. Learn more about file size limits.
Why does my album display broken thumbnails in some places?
The album thumbnails in the dashboard and live site may appear broken due to issues with the watermark file. This can happen when:
You enable the watermark toggle on your album images without uploading a file.
You upload a watermark file, but later delete it from your Media Manager.
To resolve this, upload a watermark file to your Media Manager or disable the watermark toggle for your album images.
Can I add a Photo Album store to my site?
Wix Photo Albums Store is not available to all users. As of February 2023, it is no longer possible to add Wix Photo Album Store to your site. As an alternative, you can add Wix Stores to your site and connect it to Printful to sell your photos.
What happens when a client purchases or downloads a high-resolution image?
Watermarks are automatically removed when images are purchased or downloaded in high resolution.
