Watermark Images

🖼️ Applying Watermarks to Property Images in Acquaint

To help protect your property images from being reused by other agents, Acquaint allows you to apply a watermark to images displayed on your website. This watermark does not affect images used in printed property details or brochures.

📋 Rightmove Watermark Guidelines (as of Feb 2023)

If you upload images to Rightmove, it's important to follow their technical specifications for watermarking:

• Colour & Display:

  • Watermarks must be white (for images) or grayscale (for floorplans)

  • Must be translucent—no solid colours

  • Opacity should be 30% or lower

• Content:

  • Only plain text is allowed (e.g. your agency name as registered with Rightmove)

  • Logos and branding are not permitted

  • No additional messaging or promotional content

• Size & Position:

  • Watermark must be central and no larger than one-third of the image’s width and height

  • Longer agency names may be split across two lines

⚠️ Following these guidelines ensures your images remain clear and compliant with portal standards.
