Watermark any image directly from a URL
Pass an image address via ?url= and the page fetches it server-side, then opens the watermark tool with your image pre-loaded. No upload step, no CORS headaches — just a link and the editor is ready.
How to use
Single image
The page loads, fetches the image on the server, and opens the watermark tool with that image already added to the workspace.

Multiple images
Repeat the ?url= parameter for each image you want to watermark. They're all loaded together, then the same watermark settings apply to every image in the batch.

Requirements
| Protocol | http:// or https:// only |
| Content-Type | image/* or application/octet-stream |
| Source | Any publicly accessible URL |
Server-side fetch · No CORS restrictions · All watermarking stays in your browser
Why use the by-URL entry point?
Skip the upload step
When the image already lives at a URL, there's no reason to download it locally just to re-upload it. Pass the URL and go straight to the watermark editor.
No CORS restrictions
The image is fetched by the server, not the browser, so CORS headers on the source never block the request. URLs that fail in-browser still work here.
Batch watermark from multiple URLs
Repeat ?url= for as many images as you need. They arrive together in the workspace and the same watermark settings apply to all of them in one click.
Shareable and linkable
The URL is the session. Send it to a teammate, paste it into a script, or bookmark it — opening the link opens the same set of images in the same tool.
Fits into automated workflows
Construct the URL from a build script, a CMS export, or a photographer's gallery service. The watermark tool becomes a stop on the pipeline rather than a manual detour.
Same tool, different entry point
All the regular controls apply: text or image watermark, position, opacity, rotation, tile mode, ZIP download. The only thing that changes is how the files get in.
How it works
Build the URL
Start with /image/watermark-image/by-url, append ?url= followed by the full image address. For multiple images, repeat &url= for each one.
The image loads automatically
The page fetches each URL server-side, validates it's an image, and opens the watermark tool with everything pre-loaded.
Configure and download
Pick text or image watermark, set position, opacity, and rotation, click Apply watermark, and download the watermarked images.
