Add Text Watermark to BMP images via Java

Build your own Java apps to watermark BMP image files using server-side APIs

How to Watermark BMP File Using Java

A watermark is an essential tool for authors seeking maximum exposure for their work on the internet. Placing a watermark on an image serves not only to identify its source or copyright holder but also to promote its creator. This is because the signature containing the author’s name or the internet resource’s name is distributed alongside a digital copy of the image. Watermarks can take the form of text with a wide range of fonts and can be positioned at the image’s edge. When the watermark is transparent, it doesn’t disrupt viewing. However, if the author or copyright holder wishes to emphasize their name, the watermark may partially overlap the image. In order to watermark BMP image file, we’ll use Aspose.Imaging for Java API which is a feature-rich, powerful and easy to use image manipulation and conversion API for Java platform. You can download its latest version directly from Maven and install it within your Maven-based project by adding the following configurations to the pom.xml.

Steps to Add Watermark to BMP via Java

You need the aspose-imaging-version-jdk16.jar to try the following workflow in your own environment.

  • Load BMP file with Image.load method
  • Create instance of Graphics from the Image
  • Define Font, Brush and Format for watermark text
  • Draw watermark using Graphics.drawString method
  • Save image to disc in BMP format

System Requirements

Aspose.Imaging for Java is supported on all major operating systems. Just make sure that you have the following prerequisites.

  • JDK 1.6 or higher is installed.

  • About Aspose.Imaging for Java API

    Aspose.Imaging API is an image processing solution to create, modify, draw or convert images (photos) within applications. It offers: cross-platform Image processing, including but not limited to conversions between various image formats (including uniform multi-page or multi-frame image processing), modifications such as drawing, working with graphic primitives, transformations (resize, crop, flip&rotate, binarization, grayscale, adjust), advanced image manipulation features (filtering, dithering, masking, deskewing), and memory optimization strategies. It’s a standalone library and does not depend on any software for image operations. One can easily add high-performance image conversion features with native APIs within projects. These are 100% private on-premise APIs and images are processed at your servers.

    BMP What is BMP File Format

    Files having extension .BMP represent Bitmap Image files that are used to store bitmap digital images. These images are independent of graphics adapter and are also called device independent bitmap (DIB) file format. This independency serves the purpose of opening the file on multiple platforms such as Microsoft Windows and Mac. The BMP file format can store data as two-dimensional digital images in both monochrome as well as color format with various colour depths.
