Does the free version add a watermark?

No. Images, PDF and video all export clean on every tier. It is a deliberate decision rather than an oversight: a watermark sells relief from an obstacle we put in your way, which is the wrong thing to charge for.

Is the video export watermarked?

No, and it is free on every tier. The clip is encoded on your device with your device's own video encoder, and nothing is added to the frames.

What does Pro sell then?

Capability: more slides, the full film-recipe and motion libraries, exporting a whole set of sizes in one run, brand tools. Saving your work, reopening it and exporting it cleanly stay free, because those are your work rather than our features.

Can I still add my own watermark?

Yes - the Watermark tool stamps a text or logo mark onto a batch of photos, with position, size and opacity under your control. That is your branding, added on purpose.

How to make a carousel with no watermark

Most free design tools stamp their name somewhere on what you make, and you usually find out at the download. Emaki Studio does not do this on any tier - not on images, not on the PDF, not on video. Here is how to get a clean export, and what the paid tier sells instead.

1. Design the slides Set a size, add your photos, text and shapes across the frames. Nothing is uploaded while you work - the whole edit runs in your browser.
2. Export the images Open Export and download every slide at once as a zip, or one at a time. Each comes out at full resolution with nothing added to it.
3. Or export a PDF for LinkedIn The PDF target writes one page per slide, which is what a LinkedIn document post expects. Same rule: no stamp, no footer, no title page you did not make.
4. Or export video Give the slides a duration and a transition and the Video target writes an MP4, encoded by your own device. Video export is free on every tier and carries no watermark either, which is unusual enough to be worth checking against whatever else you were considering.
5. Add your own watermark, if you want one The only mark that reaches your picture is one you put there. The separate Watermark tool stamps your name or logo onto photos, positioned and faded how you like - which is a different thing from a tool branding your work for you.
