YouTube watermark generator
Create a watermark with the YouTube play button and your @handle for videos, Shorts and live streams. The 9:16 preview shows where the Shorts buttons and title cover your video so the watermark stays visible.

Everything runs in your browser. No sign-up, no Zenixbase branding on your watermark.
Frequently asked questions
What size should a YouTube watermark be?
YouTube's own branding watermark is a 150x150 image. For a handle watermark burned into the video, around 15-25% of the frame width reads well on phones.
Can I use it on YouTube Shorts?
Yes. Switch the preview to 9:16 and turn on safe zones to keep it clear of the Shorts buttons and title.
How do I add a watermark to my Kick or Twitch clips?
Design it here, then use Send to AI Clipper or Video Editor, or download the full-frame PNG and place it on top of your clip in CapCut, Premiere or DaVinci Resolve. It lands exactly where you placed it.
Can I use it as a stream overlay in OBS?
Yes. Choose Full frame and download a PNG, or pick a motion style and download a transparent WebM. Add it as an Image or Media Source (with Loop on) and it fills the canvas with the watermark already in place.
Where should a watermark go on TikTok, Reels and Shorts?
Keep it out of the bottom fifth and the right edge, where captions and buttons sit. Turn on safe zones in the 9:16 preview to see those areas in red.
Is the background transparent?
Yes. PNG, WebP and WebM exports keep full transparency, including soft shadows and glows.
