✨ What Does It Do

• 🖼️ Watermarked Image URL - Get a direct link to your newly watermarked image stored in Apify's secure servers, ready to download or integrate into your workflows.
• 📝 Original Image URL - Track which image each watermark was applied to for reference and audit purposes.
• 📅 Processed At - Know exactly when each image was watermarked with a complete timestamp for record-keeping and scheduling workflows.
• ✅ Status - See immediately if the watermarking succeeded or failed, helping you identify which images need attention.
• 🚨 Error Message - When an image fails to process, understand why so you can fix the issue and retry.

🔧 Input

• Image Files - Upload or link images you want to watermark. Supports JPEG, PNG, and WebP formats. You can process multiple images at once.
• Watermark Text - Enter the text you want as a watermark. Choose either text or logo, not both.
• Font Family - Pick from 7 fonts: Inter (modern), Arial (classic), Impact (bold), Verdana (readable), Courier (monospace), Comic Sans (casual), or Times New Roman (traditional).
• Text Color - Set the watermark text color using HEX format (e.g., #FFFFFF for white, #000000 for black).
• Text Opacity - Control how transparent the text is (0-100%). Higher values make the watermark more visible.
• Text Size - Set the watermark size as a percentage of your image width (5-100%). Larger percentages create bigger watermarks.
• Letter Spacing - Add space between letters as a percentage of font size (0-200%) for custom styling.
• Background Opacity - Add a dark background box behind text (0-100%). 0 means no background, 100 means solid black background.
• Logo File - Upload a single logo image to use instead of text watermark. Supports PNG, JPEG, and WebP.
• Logo Opacity - Control logo transparency (0-100%). Higher values make the logo more visible.
• Logo Size - Set logo size as a percentage of image width (5-100%).
• Watermark Position - Choose where to place the watermark: corners (top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right), center, diagonal across the image, or custom location.
• Horizontal Offset - Fine-tune the horizontal position when using custom placement (0-100% from left).
• Vertical Offset - Fine-tune the vertical position when using custom placement (0-100% from top).
• Output Format - Choose your output: JPEG (smaller files), PNG (supports transparency), or WebP (modern web format).
