Next, we will together learn how to configure the image watermark function in AnQiCMS, adding a solid protective barrier to your visual content.

Turn on image watermark function

The configuration of image watermark is usually integrated in the content management settings of the website.To find the relevant options, you need to log in to the AnQiCMS back-end management interface.After logging in, you will see a menu item named "Background Settings", click to enter.In the "Background Settings" page, there are usually sub-menus such as "Content Settings" or "System Settings", and the options related to image processing are gathered here.

In the 'Content Settings' page, in addition to being able to configure options such as whether images are automatically compressed, thumbnail processing methods, and other regular options, you will find the specific function module for enabling and setting image watermarks.This is the core area where we perform watermark configuration.

Refine image watermark configuration

The core of watermark function lies in its customizability, AnQiCMS usually provides multiple configurations so that the watermark can effectively protect the copyright without overly disturbing the visual effect of the picture:

  1. Watermark image upload and selection:First, you need to upload an image file as a watermark, which is usually your website logo or an image version of the copyright statement text.The system will provide an image upload entry, you can choose to upload a local image or select from the existing image library.Choose a PNG image with a transparent background as a watermark, the effect will be more ideal.
  2. Adjust watermark position:Where should the watermark appear on the image? AnQiCMS usually provides multiple preset options such as top left, top right, centered, bottom left, bottom right, etc.You can choose the most suitable placement point flexibly based on the image content and design style.For example, it may be more appropriate to choose the corner for a portrait of a person;For landscape images, centering or placing at the bottom may be more eye-catching.
  3. Set watermark opacity:To make the watermark function without obstructing the main information of the picture, transparency is a key parameter.AnQiCMS usually allows you to adjust the transparency (opacity) of the watermark, usually expressed as a percentage.Set the opacity within a reasonable range (such as 30%-60%), which can ensure that the watermark is visible without being obtrusive.
  4. Adjust watermark size and scaling:The watermark image you uploaded may need to be adjusted according to the actual size of the content.The system usually supports fixed size or proportional scaling. For images of different sizes, scaling the watermark proportionally can better adapt and ensure visual consistency.
  5. Application scope and trigger mode:After the configuration is complete, the watermark will not be automatically applied to all images.In general, watermarks are automatically added to new images only when the watermark function is turned on.For the existing images on the website, AnQiCMS may provide batch processing options, allowing you to add watermarks to these historical images with one click, or perform a "re-generate" operation under specific requirements.

Verify and Optimize Effects

After configuration, please upload a new image for testing to check if the watermark is displayed as expected.You can check if the position, size, and transparency of the watermark meet the requirements.If the effect is not satisfactory, you can return to the "Content Settings" page and continue to adjust the parameters until you achieve the **visual effect and protection purposes.

Image watermarks are one of the effective means to protect the copyright of original content.By using the convenient configuration provided by AnQiCMS, we can easily add exclusive tags to images on the website, which not only serves as a deterrent to potential thieves but also effectively enhances brand recognition, ensuring that your creative work receives the respect and protection it deserves.
