Markly
Havelian, Abbottabad, Pakistan
What it is
Markly is an Android app for adding text and logo watermarks to photos on a phone. Users can position a mark by dragging, rotating, and resizing it with a live preview, or choose from nine preset positions. The app can apply the same watermark to multiple photos in one pass and repeat a mark diagonally across an image. It remembers recent setups and lets users save several presets. Logo or signature images can be imported, including transparent PNG files. Finished photos can be saved to the gallery or shared to social apps, email, or messaging from Markly. The maker says watermarking happens on the device and photos are not uploaded to a server. For images selected or saved, the app uses Android’s photo picker or Media Store, and the maker says it does not access other files. The free plan includes all watermarking tools and ads. Google AdMob provides the ads; an optional one-time purchase through Google Play Billing removes ads but unlocks no additional features. The maker lists an email address for questions and feedback.
