Highlevel’s social media planner allows you to add watermarks to your social images, ensuring your content is recognized and protected. This guide will walk you through the steps to add watermarks to your social images, helping you boost brand awareness and safeguard your content.
Why Add Watermarks to Your Social Images?
1. Protect Your Content
Watermarks serve as a deterrent against unauthorized use of your images. By marking your content, you make it clear that it belongs to your brand, discouraging others from claiming it as their own.
2. Increase Brand Awareness
When your watermarked images are shared or reposted, your brand logo or URL remains visible. This consistent branding helps in establishing your presence across various social media platforms.
3. Enhance Brand Recognition
A watermark adds a layer of professionalism and consistency to your posts. Over time, followers will begin to associate your watermark with your brand, strengthening your online identity.
How to Add Watermarks Using Highlevel
Step 1: Access the Social Media Planner
Log in to your Highlevel account and navigate to the “Marketing” section on the left-hand menu. From there, select the “Social Media Planner” at the top of the page.
Step 2: Open the Watermark Settings
Click on the settings icon located on the right side of the Social Media Planner page. In the settings menu, you’ll find a section dedicated to watermarks.
Step 3: Create Your Watermark
To create a new watermark, click on “Add Watermark.” Provide a name for your watermark, such as “Brand Logo” or “Campaign Hashtag.”
Upload Your Watermark Image
Make sure your watermark image is 200×200 pixels. You can easily create this size in tools like Canva. Upload the image by clicking the upload button.
Adjust the Alignment
Choose where you want the watermark to appear on your images. Options include top left, top right, center, bottom left, and bottom right. Select the position that best suits your brand’s aesthetics.
Set the Opacity and Scale
Adjust the opacity to ensure your watermark is visible but not overpowering. A good starting point is around 50%, but you can tweak it to your preference. Similarly, adjust the scale to set the size of the watermark. Ensure it is prominent yet unobtrusive.
Auto Padding
Turn on auto padding if you want a consistent space between the watermark and the edges of your image. This feature ensures your watermark doesn’t touch the borders of your image, maintaining a clean look.
Step 4: Apply the Watermark
Once you’ve customized your watermark, click “Create” to save it. Your watermark will now appear in the watermark settings list.
Step 5: Use the Watermark in Posts
When creating a new post, select the social media platform and image you want to share. Under “Advanced Options,” toggle the watermark feature on or off. This allows you to choose which posts will feature the watermark.
Note:
Currently, Highlevel supports watermarks for images only, not videos. Ensure that your watermark is appropriate for the type of content you are sharing.
