 For watermark, you can add text or your brand logo. My live demo has used my website logo. if you want to make logo watermark, The logo should be a png format.

HTML

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <input type="file" name="image_file" />
    <input type="submit" value="submit_form" />
</form>

The above HTML form action work same. So add below PHP code on the same page.

PHP

The PHP I have used my site logo for a watermark. the code will be work based on PHP gd and image functions. 

• imagecreatefrompng, imagecreatefromjpeg, imagecreatefromgif - it will create a new image from files.
• $marge_right and bottom - it will fix the image position bottom and right side.
•  imagecopy - It will copy the image file.

<?php
if(isset($_FILES['image_file']))
{
    $destination_folder = 'uploads/';    
    $image_name = $_FILES['image_file']['name']; //file name
    $image_temp = $_FILES['image_file']['tmp_name']; //file temp
    $image_type = $_FILES['image_file']['type']; //file type
    $extension = strtolower($image_type);
    if($extension == 'image/png') :
        $im =  imagecreatefrompng($image_temp);
    elseif($extension == 'image/jpeg' || $extension == 'image/pjpeg'):
        $im = imagecreatefromjpeg($image_temp);
    elseif($extension == 'image/gif'):
        $im =  imagecreatefromgif($image_temp);
    else:
        echo 'Unsupport file. try valid format'; exit;
    endif; 
    // your watermark logo image 
    $watermark_img = imagecreatefrompng('mostlikers.png');
    // right and left side padding
    $marge_right = 20; $marge_bottom = 20;
    $sx = imagesx($watermark_img);
    $sy = imagesy($watermark_img);
    imagecopy($im, $watermark_img, imagesx($im) - $sx - $marge_right, 
    imagesy($im) - $sy - $marge_bottom, 0, 0, imagesx($watermark_img), 
    imagesy($watermark_img));
    //new file name 
    $file_name = time().$image_name;
    imagepng($im, $destination_folder.$file_name);
    // write here insert or update mysql code.
    header('Content-type: image/png');
    imagepng($im); // display saved image
    imagedestroy($im);
}
?>

Text watermark Script

The above code only work has an image watermark. For a text, watermark refers the below code.

$watermark_img = imagecreatetruecolor(200, 70);
imagefilledrectangle($watermark_img, 0, 0, 200, 69, 0x0000FF);
imagefilledrectangle($watermark_img, 9, 9, 200, 60, 0xFFFFFF);
imagestring($watermark_img, 20, 20, 20, 'mostlikers', 0x0000FF);
