11 imagettftext($image_p, $font_size, 40, 100, 100, $r
12 if ($DestinationFile) {
13 imagejpeg ($image_p, $DestinationFile, 100);
14 } else {
15 header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
16 imagejpeg($image_p, null, 100);

24 $WaterMarkText = 'Copyright phpJabbers.com';
25 watermarkImage ($SourceFile, $WaterMarkText, $Destinatio
26 ​
27 ?>

In the above code, we created a function watermarkImage() and did the

functionality for adding watermark on image inside.

The last 4 lines for holding the data to run the watermark function.

$SourcceFile: The main image file path

$DestinationFile: Output image name

$WaterMarkText: Text you want to add on the image as watermark.

And last is hitting the watermarkImage() function to create a watermark image

with text.

Step 3: If you want to change the value of the $red variable but make sure
your color will be in RGB color. And change the watermark text angle and
position where text will be shown, you can change in the imagettftext().

If you don’t want to download the image and just want to show it on the browser
then set the $DestinationFile variable blank in the if condition like if
($DestinationFile="") .

Step 4: After the change, all the required fields as per your requirements then
save the file and run it on the browser. You will see the image displaying with a
watermark text message.

Add Image Watermark to Image Using PHP

As we said above, you can also add image watermark to an image. This means,
you can add an image onto another image as a watermark. To do this you need
to use imagecopy() function.

The imagecopy() function will copy the source image onto the destination
image.

Syntax: imagecopy($destinationImage, $srcImage,

$destinatioX, $destinationY, $sourceX, $sourceY,
$sourceWidth, $sourceHeight);

Follow the below steps to add image watermark:

Step 1: Create a folder and take two images inside it. One will be main image
and second will be watermal image in PNG format.

Step 2: Now create a new PHP file and paste the following code in this file.

1 <?php
2 ​
3 function watermarkImage ($SourceFile, $WaterMarkImage, $
4 $watermark = imagecreatefrompng($WaterMarkImage);
5 $imageURL = imagecreatefromjpeg($SourceFile);
6 $watermarkX = imagesx($watermark);
7 $watermarkY = imagesy($watermark);
8 imagecopy($imageURL, $watermark, imagesx($imageURL)/
9 if ($DestinationFile) {
10 imagejpeg ($imageURL, $DestinationFile, 100);
11 } else {
12 header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
13 imagejpeg($imageURL, null, 100);
14 }
15 imagedestroy($imageURL);
16 }
17 ​
18 $SourceFile = 'avatar.jpg';
19 $DestinationFile = 'avatar-watermarkk.jpg';
20 $WaterMarkImage = 'watermark.png';
21 watermarkImage ($SourceFile, $WaterMarkImage, $Destinati
22 ​
23 ?>

This script code will create a new image with watermark image. You have to
provide the images file and required parameter. The last 4 line same as I
explained in above.

Step 3: Save the file and run on the browser. You will see watermark image onto
the main image file.

That’s it!!!

Some guidelines:

As you can see watermarkImage() image function in the script above.

which takes 3 parameters ($SourceFile, $WaterMarkText, $DestinationFile) and

creates an watermarked image from the source image specified.

$SourceFile – It is the full file path to the JPG image that you are going to
watermark.

$WaterMarkText and $WaterMarkImage – It is the text message and image

that you want to use for the watermark.

$DestinationFile – It can either be blank or full file path to a new file which will
be the source file with watermark text on it.

What this function does is to read the source file, then create a new image object
(using the imagecopyresampled() function). Then using the Arial.ttf font file
and the imagettftext() function it writes the text onto the image and image onto
image. The last IF statement checks, if it should save a new watermarked file or
should just display it on the screen.

Hope you understand the code to add watermark to image using PHP GD script
library.

If you have any quetions please ask me in the comment section. I’ll respond to
you as soon as possible.
