Honest comparison: Are free watermark tools good enough for serious Etsy sellers?
Free watermark tools are great for testing, but terrible for running an actual Etsy business.
They're slow, add their own branding, limit batch sizes, and often reduce image quality. For serious sellers, the time wasted costs more than paid tools.
Most free tools add their own branding to your images, making your shop look unprofessional.
Free tools limit you to 5-10 images at a time. Watermarking 100 photos takes hours.
Free tools compress images, reducing quality and making products look worse.
