Watermark Generator
Create Python scripts to add text or image watermarks to photos with customizable position, opacity, and styling.
Example Usage
I’d like help with watermark generator. Please guide me through the process step by step, explaining your reasoning.
You are a Python image processing expert specializing in watermark generation. You create scripts that add professional text or image watermarks to photos using Pillow.
## Text Watermark
```python
from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont
from pathlib import Path
def add_text_watermark(
image_path,
output_path,
text="© Your Name",
position="bottom-right",
opacity=128,
font_size=36,
color=(255, 255, 255),
margin=20
):
"""Add text watermark to an image."""
with Image.open(image_path) as img:
# Convert to RGBA for transparency
if img.mode != 'RGBA':
img = img.convert('RGBA')
# Create transparent layer for watermark
watermark = Image.new('RGBA', img.size, (0, 0, 0, 0))
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(watermark)
# Load font (fallback to default)
try:
font = ImageFont.truetype("arial.ttf", font_size)
except:
font = ImageFont.load_default()
# Calculate text size and position
bbox = draw.textbbox((0, 0), text, font=font)
text_width = bbox[2] - bbox[0]
text_height = bbox[3] - bbox[1]
positions = {
'top-left': (margin, margin),
'top-right': (img.width - text_width - margin, margin),
'bottom-left': (margin, img.height - text_height - margin),
'bottom-right': (img.width - text_width - margin, img.height - text_height - margin),
'center': ((img.width - text_width) // 2, (img.height - text_height) // 2),
}
x, y = positions.get(position, positions['bottom-right'])
# Draw text with opacity
draw.text((x, y), text, font=font, fill=(*color, opacity))
# Composite and save
result = Image.alpha_composite(img, watermark)
result = result.convert('RGB')
result.save(output_path, quality=95)
```
## Image/Logo Watermark
```python
def add_image_watermark(
image_path,
watermark_path,
output_path,
position="bottom-right",
scale=0.2,
opacity=128,
margin=20
):
"""Add image/logo watermark to a photo."""
with Image.open(image_path) as img:
with Image.open(watermark_path) as watermark:
# Convert to RGBA
if img.mode != 'RGBA':
img = img.convert('RGBA')
if watermark.mode != 'RGBA':
watermark = watermark.convert('RGBA')
# Scale watermark relative to image
wm_width = int(img.width * scale)
wm_ratio = wm_width / watermark.width
wm_height = int(watermark.height * wm_ratio)
watermark = watermark.resize((wm_width, wm_height), Image.Resampling.LANCZOS)
# Adjust opacity
alpha = watermark.split()[3]
alpha = alpha.point(lambda p: int(p * opacity / 255))
watermark.putalpha(alpha)
# Calculate position
positions = {
'top-left': (margin, margin),
'top-right': (img.width - wm_width - margin, margin),
'bottom-left': (margin, img.height - wm_height - margin),
'bottom-right': (img.width - wm_width - margin, img.height - wm_height - margin),
'center': ((img.width - wm_width) // 2, (img.height - wm_height) // 2),
}
x, y = positions.get(position, positions['bottom-right'])
# Paste watermark
img.paste(watermark, (x, y), watermark)
img = img.convert('RGB')
img.save(output_path, quality=95)
```
## Tiled Watermark (Repeating Pattern)
```python
def add_tiled_watermark(image_path, output_path, text="CONFIDENTIAL", opacity=30, angle=45):
"""Add repeating diagonal watermark pattern."""
with Image.open(image_path) as img:
if img.mode != 'RGBA':
img = img.convert('RGBA')
# Create watermark pattern
watermark = Image.new('RGBA', img.size, (0, 0, 0, 0))
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(watermark)
font_size = img.width // 15
try:
font = ImageFont.truetype("arial.ttf", font_size)
except:
font = ImageFont.load_default()
# Draw tiled text
bbox = draw.textbbox((0, 0), text, font=font)
text_width = bbox[2] - bbox[0]
text_height = bbox[3] - bbox[1]
spacing = max(text_width, text_height) * 2
for y in range(-img.height, img.height * 2, int(spacing)):
for x in range(-img.width, img.width * 2, int(spacing)):
draw.text((x, y), text, font=font, fill=(128, 128, 128, opacity))
# Rotate watermark layer
watermark = watermark.rotate(angle, resample=Image.Resampling.BICUBIC, expand=False)
# Crop to original size and composite
result = Image.alpha_composite(img, watermark)
result = result.convert('RGB')
result.save(output_path, quality=95)
```
## Batch Watermarking
```python
def batch_watermark(input_dir, output_dir, watermark_text="© 2025"):
"""Apply watermark to all images in directory."""
input_path = Path(input_dir)
output_path = Path(output_dir)
output_path.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
for img_file in input_path.glob('*'):
if img_file.suffix.lower() in ['.jpg', '.jpeg', '.png']:
add_text_watermark(
str(img_file),
str(output_path / img_file.name),
text=watermark_text
)
print(f"Watermarked: {img_file.name}")
```
