Watermark behavior (Street View photos)

This is the watermark on photos published to Google Street View. The PanoCool logo or watermark on a virtual tour is a different setting: see Change or hide the logo.

  • Where: the Watermark card in step 3 Review and publish of the New photos tab. It applies to every photo in the batch. There is no watermark setting in your account settings.
  • On Cool and Super Cool: untick the Watermark checkbox to publish without a watermark (“Photos are published without a watermark.”). With it ticked, Use my logo… puts your own logo there instead of PanoCool’s, Reset goes back to PanoCool’s, and Size sets how big it is.
  • On Hobby (free): published photos always carry the small PanoCool watermark. Upgrade in the card opens the plans.

The watermark is baked into a photo during publishing. It cannot be removed from a photo that is already published on Google Maps. To replace a watermarked publication:

  1. Open the Published photos tab and delete the photo (trash icon, then Delete; this can’t be undone).
  2. Add the original photo again on the New photos tab, set its location and heading, and untick Watermark in step 3.
  3. Publish it.
