How to Add a Brand Logo to Your Video as a Watermark

A logo watermark gives your videos a consistent visual signature, so viewers can identify your brand across social posts, product demos, and training clips. Start with a clean logo file, preferably a transparent PNG or SVG, and use the same approved artwork across your video library. A consistent brand mark is easier to recognize than a different logo treatment in every upload.

Choose a position that stays clear of captions, faces, and platform controls. The upper corners often suit instructional footage, while a lower corner can work for interview or product videos if subtitles do not occupy that area. Keep the logo inside the safe area so it remains visible when platforms crop or resize the frame.

Set the logo’s size and opacity to suit the footage. A watermark should be legible without drawing attention away from the main subject; reduce its scale on close-up shots and avoid placing it over busy details. For videos with varied backgrounds, a light or dark version of the logo can preserve contrast without changing its position.

Use YB Video from YB.Digital at https://yb.digital/editor to prepare a branded export. Open your video in the editor, add the logo as an overlay, then adjust its position, size, and transparency in the preview. Review the result at the intended aspect ratio before exporting, since a logo placed for a widescreen video may overlap content in a vertical cut.

Before exporting, watch the full video rather than checking only the opening frame. Confirm that transitions, crops, and changes in background do not hide the watermark or make it distracting. Save a reusable version of your placement settings so your next campaign video follows the same brand treatment.

• Use a logo file with a transparent background.
• Keep clear space around the mark for visual separation.
• Use a monochrome logo variant when the footage has strong color.
• Export a short test clip before processing a longer video.
