Understanding Video Watermarking
Watermarking is a common technique used to brand or protect video content. By overlaying a watermark image on a video, you can ensure that your brand is recognized, even if the video is shared without credit.
Using FFMPEGAPI.net, you can easily add a watermark to any video through a simple API call, allowing for automation in your video workflows.
- Brand recognition: Keep your brand visible.

How to Use the Add Watermark Endpoint
FFMPEGAPI.net provides an endpoint specifically for adding watermarks, which can be accessed using a straightforward POST request. The endpoint allows you to specify various parameters, including the video URL, watermark URL, position, and scale.
Here’s a quick overview of the endpoint:
- Endpoint Path: /api/add_watermark
- Method: POST
- Content Type: application/json
- Parameters: video_url, watermark_url, position, scale, async
curl -X POST https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/add_watermark \

-d '{"video_url": "https://example.com/video.mp4", "watermark_url": "https://example.com/logo.png", "position": "bottom-right", "scale": 0.2}'Practical Example of Adding a Watermark
Let’s look at a practical example of how to utilize the Add Watermark endpoint effectively. Suppose you have a video located at 'https://example.com/video.mp4' and you want to add a logo watermark located at 'https://example.com/logo.png'.
You can set the watermark position to the bottom-right corner and scale it to 20% of the video width.
- Video URL: https://example.com/video.mp4
- Watermark URL: https://example.com/logo.png
- Position: bottom-right
- Scale: 0.2
