Use Case

Deliver watermarked photos to clients — automatically.

Set your text or logo watermark once. Glassline applies it to every gallery you choose and delivers watermarked previews to your clients — so you never batch-export a second set of watermarked files in Lightroom or Photoshop again.

TL;DR

Glassline's built-in watermark protection lets you configure a text or logo watermark once in your profile — position, size, opacity, and single or tiled placement — then enable it per gallery. Watermarked versions are rendered on Glassline's servers and delivered to your clients automatically, while your originals stay untouched. It's included with every paid plan (from $7/month). This is a separate feature from the free browser-based export tool, which renders watermarks locally and downloads watermarked files to your computer for use elsewhere.

Key features

What Glassline delivers.

Set once, apply everywhere

Configure your watermark a single time, then turn it on per gallery

One watermark configuration in your profile applies to every gallery where you enable protection — no per-photo work

Text or logo watermark

Use your studio name or copyright as text, or upload your logo

Text watermarks support a custom font, colour, and size; logo watermarks use an uploaded transparent PNG

Position and tiling control

9-point placement grid, single mark or tiled repeat

Place a single mark in any corner, edge, or centre — or tile it diagonally across the whole image to deter screenshots

Server-side rendering

Watermarks are applied on Glassline's servers, not in your editor

Enable protection and Glassline renders watermarked versions of every photo in the gallery in the background

Originals stay safe

Clients see watermarked previews; your master files are never altered

Watermarks protect the gallery view while your untouched originals remain available for downloads

In depth

Stop batch-exporting watermarked copies

The manual way to send watermarked proofs is to run a batch export in Lightroom or Photoshop, save a second set of watermarked files, upload them to a gallery, and keep the two sets straight. Every reshoot or re-edit means redoing the export. Glassline removes that step entirely: you upload your photos once, switch watermark protection on for the gallery, and clients receive watermarked previews without you ever creating a separate watermarked set.

How built-in watermark protection works

You configure your watermark once in your Glassline profile: choose a text or logo watermark, set its position on a 9-point grid, pick single or tiled placement, and adjust opacity and size. When you enable watermark protection on a gallery, Glassline renders a watermarked preview of each image on its servers. Your clients browse those watermarked previews, while your original, un-watermarked files remain stored untouched. Downloads continue to use the original files.

Watermarked proofs, then clean finals

Many photographers watermark the proofing and selection gallery, then deliver clean finals after payment. With Glassline you handle both from the same set of photos: keep protection on while clients choose their favourites, then switch it off to hand over the un-watermarked originals — no re-upload, no second gallery, no re-export.

How to get started

Set up in minutes.

01

Configure your watermark

In your Glassline profile, choose a text watermark (your studio name or copyright) or upload a logo. Set the font, colour, size, position, opacity, and single or tiled placement. You only do this once.

02

Enable protection on a gallery

Open the gallery you want to protect and switch watermark protection on. Glassline begins rendering watermarked versions of every photo in that gallery in the background.

03

Share the gallery

Send the gallery link to your client. They browse watermarked previews — there is nothing extra for you to prepare, export, or upload.

04

Reveal the originals when ready

Once your client has paid or made their selection, turn watermark protection off to deliver the clean, un-watermarked originals from the same gallery.
