Where the details come from
The camera-data mark is wording that writes itself. Open a photo and the studio reads its Exif data — the make and model, the lens, the focal length and its 35 mm equivalent when the file records one, the aperture, shutter speed, ISO and the date taken — and lists each field with a switch and whether this picture has it. The wording is then laid out as a band, a block or a caption: “Shot on” and the device on one side, the settings on the other.
Device and brand names are written as plain words. No manufacturer’s logo is bundled or drawn. The words before the device are yours to change — “Shot on”, “Taken with”, or nothing.
Footer band, corner block or caption
| Band below | A white or black strip added under the photo, 7.5 % of the width tall, with the wording in it. Nothing of the photo is covered — the saved file is taller instead, and the status line says by how much. |
|---|---|
| Corner block | Two lines inside the frame, placed with the nine-point grid like any mark, aligned to the side it sits on. |
| One line | Everything on a single caption line inside the frame. |
Photos without camera data
Not every picture carries the data. Phones write it; many apps strip it when they share or save. When a field is missing it is left out of the wording rather than replaced with a placeholder, and in a batch the list says “Camera data missing: lens, ISO” for that file. A picture with none at all gets no mark, and the panel says why.
- The figures are what the file says. If a phone's software recorded an odd lens name, that is what is written.
- This page adds camera details to a picture. It does not take a phone's own built-in watermark off a photo.
- The saved file does not carry the original Exif data — the picture is re-encoded from a canvas — so the camera details on the mark are the only copy that travels with it.
Doing a whole trip at once
Drop a folder on the batch route with this mark set and each picture is marked with its own camera, lens and settings. The band layout makes every file a little taller than its original, so the ledger states the new size on every line.
Camera watermark questions
Where does the camera information come from?
From the picture itself. Cameras and phones write the make and model, the lens, the focal length, aperture, shutter speed, ISO and the time into the file's Exif data. This page reads those fields from the start of the file on your device — JPG, TIFF, PNG, WebP and HEIC — and writes them as wording. Nothing is looked up online and nothing is uploaded.
What if my photo has no camera data?
Then the mark has nothing to say and draws nothing, and the panel says the picture carries no camera data. Each field is listed with whether this picture has it; a field that is switched on but missing is simply left out — no blank, no “undefined”. Pictures sent through messaging apps, screenshots and many edited exports have had the data removed.
Can I add it to many photos at once?
Yes. On the batch route the wording is built for each file from that file's own data, so a trip shot on two cameras gets the right camera on every picture, and any file missing a field says so on its line in the list.
