Watermark entire image files in a folder with one batch process. As my weekend project, I wrote another simple bin bash script that apply Zenity as graphical user interface & ImageMagick composite command to overlay a selected watermark image on all image files inside a targeted folder.
This script might be useful for those who want to protect their digital photos or images using visible watermarking technique.
ImageMagick
should be able to handle over 100 of image format but I've only tested
this script with .svg, .png, .bmp, & .jpg files in my Ubuntu
system.
Installation & use shown in this video:
Make sure Zenity & ImageMagick installed on your system.
- You can install both apps by typing this command in Terminal:
sudo apt-get install zenity imagemagick
- Download Batch Watermark script from here. [Download]
- Extract Batch Watermark.zip anywhere.
- Open Batch Watermark folder.
- Simply double click & run Install.sh file
- Copy paste Batch Watermark file to ~/.Gnome2/nautilus-scripts
- Make sure permission to execute as program is given to script files.
- Right click on script files > Permissions tab and check the “Allow executing file as program” checkbox.
How to use:

- Run Batch Watermark script. Right click > Scripts > Batch Watermark
