I need a free, easy way to place the same small logo/signature watermark in one fixed position (for example, the bottom corner) on roughly 100 images at once. What software can do this in batch, and is simple to use?

I use FastStone Image Viewer:

Once you open the viewer (if you opened it in a single picture view - press ENTER to open Manager), you can select any number of pictures you want
Then follow the menu Tools / Batch Convert Selected Images (or just press F3)
Click Advanced Options button
Open Watermark tab, and place a flag on Add Watermark checkbox
Adjust it as you want and click OK
In that window you can specify some other settings also
Press Convert

Yes — several free tools can do this.

A simple option mentioned is FastStone Image Viewer. In its Manager view, select the photos, go to Tools > Batch Convert Selected Images (or press F3), open Advanced Options, enable Add Watermark, set the logo position and appearance, then run the conversion.

Another easy option is Picasa, which was widely used for batch watermarking through a simple GUI.

If you want more control, NConvert can batch-process watermarks from the command line, and XnView can help generate a batch file for it. That approach is more technical because you may need to define the watermark position in pixels.

For a free and easy workflow, FastStone is likely the most straightforward choice from the answers provided.
