I was trying to add a watermark to the new Michael Daehn Channel on YouTube, but they would not accept my logo. No matter what I tried, it did not work and I was frustrated.

I turned to the online creation tool, Canva. I recently went there to make some Zoom backgrounds and it worked well for that. However, I could not find a template for the YouTube watermark.

I know I get into the weeds on this stuff sometimes, but once I get started, I really need to find a solution. It’s branding; nothing more important than that, right?

After a thorough Google search I came across Kapwing, a collaborative platform for creating images, videos, and GIFs. I was able to add my watermark and found a cool new tool at the same time.

This is a good lesson in SEO. I had never heard of this site, but because I was looking to solve a specific problem and they had the answer, Google ranked them high in my search. Kapwing also does a good job of labeling, tagging and titling their content to be found by search engines.

If you are creating graphics for your social media accounts, blog posts, videos, etc, you need to check out Kapwing.
