Detect watermarks in an image

Detect Watermarks transformation allows users to determine whether an image is watermarked.

This transformation supports png, jpeg, jpg, webp, cr2, nef, rw2, dng, orf, raw, heic, heif, avif, tiff and tif type of files.

The result of Detect Watermark is a JSON, as shown below:

{
    "attributes": {
        "watermark": false
    }
}

The JSON key is explained in the below table:

Property	Description
`watermark`	A boolean value indicating whether or not the image contains a watermark.

note

Instead of getting the output in a traditional CDN URL, you will get a JSON output from the Context API while the CDN URL will return the original image without any modifications.
