## The function of adding watermarks

[FLOWIN](<https://flowin.click/telegram-forward/>) allows you to set up the automatic addition of watermarks to all forwarded images.

A watermark can be either text or another image or audio fragment. At the same time, a large number of settings are available for each watermark, such as size, transparency, indentation and location.

The advantage of using our service to add watermarks to telegram is that the watermark is added immediately to a new message, and NOT after editing or deleting the original message, as happens in other telegram bots for adding watermarks. And also, only in our service, you can add dynamic meta information to the watermark (for example, the time and date of the message).

In addition, [FLOWIN](<https://flowin.click/telegram-forward/>) makes it convenient and easy to set up several watermarks at once and use them simultaneously for different channels or even on the same picture.

Thanks to the add to text messages feature, you can add your own pictures or audio to all forwarded text messages.

After setting up, when messages with images are sent to the chat or the source channel, they will automatically be forwarded to your chat or channel with watermarks already added.
