# Bulk Image Watermark (`vivpm99/bulk-image-watermark`) Actor

Add a text or logo watermark to many images at once. Paste image URLs, pick text or a transparent-PNG logo, choose position and opacity, and get each stamped image with a ready download link. Great for bulk watermarking, branding product photos, and protecting images.

## Pricing

from $5.00 / 1,000 watermarked images

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Bulk Image Watermark

Stamp a **text** or **logo** watermark onto many images at once. Give it a list of
image links, pick what to stamp and where, and get back each stamped image with a
ready download link.

Good for: bulk watermark, add logo to images, brand product photos, stamp images in
bulk, protect photos with a watermark.

### What it does

- Accepts a list of image links.
- Stamps either a text watermark or a logo image (a transparent PNG works best).
- Places the mark in one of five positions: top left, top right, center, bottom left,
  bottom right.
- Lets you choose how see-through the mark is.
- Saves each stamped image to storage and returns a download link per image.
- If one image fails, the run keeps going — that row is marked `failed` with a reason,
  and nothing is silently dropped.

### Input

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `imageUrls` | List of direct image links to stamp (required). |
| `watermarkType` | `text` or `logo` (required). |
| `text` | The words to stamp (when type is `text`). |
| `fontSize` | Text size in pixels (when type is `text`). |
| `logoUrl` | Link to the logo image, ideally a transparent PNG (when type is `logo`). |
| `position` | `top-left`, `top-right`, `center`, `bottom-left`, or `bottom-right`. |
| `opacity` | How solid the mark is, `10` (very light) to `100` (solid). |

#### Example input

```json
{
    "imageUrls": [
        "https://example.com/photo1.jpg",
        "https://example.com/photo2.jpg"
    ],
    "watermarkType": "text",
    "text": "© My Brand",
    "fontSize": 48,
    "position": "bottom-right",
    "opacity": 50
}
````

### Output

Each image becomes a row in the results table:

```json
{ "originalUrl": "https://example.com/photo1.jpg", "downloadUrl": "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/.../records/watermarked-1.jpg", "status": "done" }
```

The stamped images live in the run's key-value store. **Download them promptly** —
Apify clears unnamed run storage after its retention period.

### Pricing

Pay per image: you are charged for each image that is successfully watermarked.
Failed images are free.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "imageUrls": [
        "https://picsum.photos/seed/alpha/800/600.jpg",
        "https://picsum.photos/seed/bravo/640/480.jpg"
    ],
    "text": "© My Brand"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("vivpm99/bulk-image-watermark").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});
