    Hi HN,

    I’ve spent the past few months building Lumora, a purely web-based watermarking tool aimed at photographers and publishers who need to protect large sets of images fast.

    Why it exists

    Proof galleries kept getting reposted without credit, and most “batch” tools were desktop-only, capped at a few dozen files, or required Photoshop actions.

    I wanted something that works on any device, from a phone to a Chromebook, with zero install and a predictable pay-as-you-go model.

    What it does

    Drag-drop bulk — toss in a folder of hundreds (or thousands) of JPG/PNG/WEBP files.

    Text or logo watermarks — pick font/size/opacity or upload a transparent logo.

    Preset styles — corner, edge banner, ghost-center, or full-frame grid.

    Real-time preview — adjust once, see every change live.

    Single ZIP download — original resolution or optional down-scale.

    Business model

    Free tier for small batches.

    Paid plans unlock higher monthly image quotas and faster processing.

    Credits reset each billing cycle; no surprise overages.

    Looking for feedback on

    Speed & UX – does the preview feel responsive on your machine?

    Pricing fairness – do the free/paid limits make sense?

    Edge cases – any file types or workflows you wish were supported?

    Give it a spin (no login needed for up to 10 images): https://lumora.app

    Thanks in advance for kicking the tires and letting me know where it falls short!
