sorl-watermark

sorl-watermark adds support for adding watermarks to sorl-thumbnail.

Tested with:

• Django 1.8, 1.9, 1.10, 1.11, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2.
• sorl-Thumbnail 12.4, 12.5, 12.6 and 12.7.
• Pillow 5, 6, 7 and 8.
• Python 2.7, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 and 3.9.

Of course everything is configurable, from the watermark image to position and opacity.

sorl-watermark does not ship with support for generating text-based watermarks.

Setup

Install via pip

$ pip install sorl-watermark

Change sorl's thumbnail engine to one from sorl-watermark. PIL and imagemagick are supported.

PIL:

# PIL is the most well tested backend.
THUMBNAIL_ENGINE = 'sorl_watermarker.engines.pil_engine.Engine'

Pgmagick:

# PIL is the most well tested backend.
THUMBNAIL_ENGINE = 'sorl_watermarker.engines.pgmagick_engine.Engine'

Next up, you tell it which image should be used as a watermark. Note that this file has to live somewhere inside STATIC_ROOT.

THUMBNAIL_WATERMARK = 'my_watermark.png'

That's it for a simple setup. The engine will only apply the watermark if the thumbnail size is big enough.

See Advanced Usage for ways to dynamically change the watermark itself, it's size or ways to selectively apply watermarks.

Advanced Usage

sorl-watermark adds additional options to the {% thumbnail %} templatetag.

The following new options are available:

• watermark=imagefile This options takes an ImageFile and uses this one instead of the default watermark file, set via THUMBNAIL_WATERMARK
• watermark_size="x200" Changes the watermark's size. Takes the same options as the THUMBNAIL_WATERMARK_SIZE option.
• watermark_pos="north east" Specifies where the watermark shall be put. Accepts the same options as the THUMBNAIL_WATERMARK_POSITION setting.
• watermark_alpha=0.9 Sets the watermark's opacity. Has to be a value between 0 and 1.

Settings Reference

The following settings are available

• THUMBNAIL_WATERMARK Sets the image to be used as a watermark. The file must live within STATIC_ROOT.

• THUMBNAIL_WATERMARK_ALWAYS Stamp a watermark on every image. Default is True.

• THUMBNAIL_WATERMARK_SIZE Change the size of the watermark. This can either be a geometry string, as is usual with sorl-thumbnail ("x200", "200x200"), or a percentage. If given a percentage, the watermark will always be the given percentage of the thumbnail size.

• THUMBNAIL_WATERMARK_OPACITY An integer from 0 to 1, specifying the opacity of the watermark. Default is 0 (opaque).

• THUMBNAIL_WATERMARK_POSITION Specifies the position of the watermark. You can specify the position with a pair of padding values (in pixels) Ex. "20 20" will place watermark near the left-top corner, "-20 -20" - near the right-bottom corner. Either you can specify the position as:

  • "north"
  • "south"
  • "west"
  • "east"
  • "north east"
  • "south east"
  • "north west"
  • "south west"
  • "center"

  Default: "south east" (right-bottom corner)

  If you want to tile your image completely with a watermark, you should set:

  THUMBNAIL_WATERMARK_POSITION = 'tile'
