Text or a logo, placed where you want it, at the opacity you want it.
Overlay a text or image watermark at a chosen position, scale, rotation and opacity.
Input
Send a file object with base64 data_b64, its content_type and a filename. Accepted types: image/png, image/jpeg, image/webp, image/gif, image/tiff.
The declared type is not trusted — the bytes are sniffed and a contradiction is rejected rather than corrected.
Response
The result carries your remaining balance alongside it, so you can track spend without a second call.

Cost
2 credits per call, whether it is run from the site or from the API — the credential differs, the price does not. A new account starts with 20 credits.
A rejected request still costs a credit: the authorizer decrements before the tool validates. A call rejected for a missing or invalid key is free.
