Add a logo to a video

Start with a corner bug, centered intro, end card or sponsor placement, then drag, resize, time and preview your transparent logo. Snap it inside the title-safe area or enter an exact pixel or percentage width before creating the video locally.

PNG or WebP usually gives the cleanest edges.

Branding a video is a slightly different job from watermarking it: the placement is deliberate, the sizing is exact, and the same treatment has to repeat across every video you publish. This tool starts from placement presets — corner bug, centred intro, end card, sponsor slot — then lets you drag, snap inside the title-safe area, and set an exact pixel or percentage width.

Presets for the standard placements

Broadcast conventions exist because they work. A corner bug sits small and persistent, identifying the channel without interrupting anything. A centred intro logo appears for two or three seconds at the head. An end card holds at the tail while a viewer decides what to watch next. A sponsor placement is larger and time-limited, usually appearing near a mention. Starting from the right preset saves you from reinventing a layout that viewers already understand.

Exact sizing and title-safe snapping

Consistency across a channel is what makes branding read as branding, and eyeballing a drag every time does not deliver it. Entering an exact width — in pixels or as a percentage of the frame — means the logo is identical in every video, including ones at different resolutions if you use percentages. Snapping to the title-safe area keeps it inside the region every platform reliably displays, which matters because cropping differs between destinations and phone interfaces cover the outer edges of vertical video.

Preparing the logo file

Use a PNG with a real alpha channel: a JPG logo arrives as a solid rectangle, which looks like a mistake on any footage that is not the same colour as its background. Supply it at higher resolution than you need on screen, since scaling down stays crisp and scaling up does not. Test it over your brightest and darkest footage before standardising, because a dark logo disappears on dark shots — which is why so many broadcast bugs are white with a subtle shadow.

Questions, answered

How big should a logo be on video?

A persistent corner bug usually sits around 8–12% of the frame width. Intro and end-card logos are much larger, because they have the frame to themselves.

What is the title-safe area?

The inner region of the frame — roughly 90% — that every player and platform reliably displays without cropping. Snapping your logo inside it prevents edges from being cut off.

What file format should I use for the logo?

PNG with transparency. A JPG has no alpha channel, so the logo appears inside a solid rectangle over your footage.

Should the logo be visible the whole time?

A corner bug usually is, since it identifies the channel throughout. Intro logos, end cards and sponsor placements are time-limited, which the presets handle.

My logo disappears on some shots — what should I do?

Use a version with enough contrast for both extremes, typically white with a soft shadow, and test it over your brightest and darkest footage before standardising the placement.
