Short answer: Open the recording in Recordful's editor and click Watermark in the left toolbar. Choose Logo, Text or Both, click + to upload your logo (PNG, JPEG or WebP), type your name or URL, and set the Size and Opacity. The watermark sits in the bottom right corner of the preview, every export and the share page. It's free, and so is turning it off.
A screen recording exported with a logo and a URL in the corner.
Why watermark a screen recording
- Branding. A demo that gets shared on X or in a Slack you're not in still says whose product it is.
- Credit. Tutorials get reposted. Your name in the corner travels with them.
- Client work. Agencies and freelancers send work in progress with their mark on it.
- A URL instead of a logo. "yourapp.com" in the corner is a call to action that never leaves the screen.
Step 1: Open the Watermark tool
Open the recording in the editor (it opens on its own when you stop a Recordful recording, or drop any video into recordful.app/editor). Click Watermark at the bottom of the left toolbar.
A new recording starts with the Recordful logo and name, at 20% size and 50% opacity.
Step 2: Upload your logo
Click the + tile and pick your logo. PNG, JPEG and WebP work. A PNG with a transparent background looks best, and a light logo reads better on most screen recordings.
Your logo replaces the Recordful one. It stays with the recording, so you only upload it once per video.
Step 3: Choose Logo, Text or Both
- Logo shows only the picture.
- Text shows a line of text: your name, your company, or a URL.
- Both puts them side by side.
Step 4: Set the size and opacity
Two sliders do it. Keep it readable but quiet: around 30 to 60% size and 60 to 100% opacity works for most videos. Check it over the busiest part of your video, since a mark that disappears on a white page is no use.
Step 5: Export
Click Publish → Download locally and export MP4 or WebM up to 4K. The watermark is burned into the video. On Recordful Pro, Share as link keeps it on the share page too.
How to remove the watermark
Turn off Show watermark in the Watermark panel. That's all. There is no paid tier to remove it, and nothing else is added to your export.

Is the watermark free? Yes. Adding your own logo, changing it and turning it off are all free, with no account.
