- Choosing and Making Your Watermark Choose the font and type the text you want, if you prefer it to be a text. You can also use a logo or sketch. This will serve as your watermark. In this tutorial, we'll use the text, font Impact. I use this font (e.g., Impact) for this purpose because it is bold and clearly visible even with the transparency effect.
