This guide walks you through embedding an invisible watermark into an image — from creating an order to downloading the watermarked result.

​
Prerequisites

  • A BIZ MORI API key (get one here)
  • An image or PDF file to watermark (jpeg, jpg, png, webp, tiff, bmp, or pdf)

​
Step 1: Create an order

Create a watermark embed order with your watermark text. 
curl -X POST https://api.bizmori.com/api/v2/orders/wtr-embed \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "idempotencyKey": "my-embed-001",
    "files": [
      {
        "fileName": "photo.jpg",
        "watermarks": [{ "text": "MORI_WATERMARK" }]
      }
    ]
  }'
Response: 
{
  "data": {
    "orderName": "wtr_embed_2026-03-18",
    "orderId": "123456789",
    "status": "pending",
    "files": [
      {
        "fileId": 1,
        "fileName": "photo.jpg",
        "uploadUrl": "https://s3.amazonaws.com/...",
        "fileKey": "wtr-embed/123456789/images/1/photo.jpg",
        "fileFormat": "JPG",
        "fileType": "IMG"
      }
    ]
  }
}

​
Step 2: Upload files

PUT your file to the presigned uploadUrl from Step 1. This is a direct S3 upload — no Authorization header needed.
cURL
curl -X PUT "https://s3.amazonaws.com/..." \
  -H "Content-Type: image/jpeg" \
  --data-binary @photo.jpg
No confirm step needed. Unlike Anti-AI and AI Detection, Watermark Embed processing starts automatically after your file upload completes. Proceed directly to checking the order status.
Presigned URLs expire after 1 hour. If yours has expired, use the Refresh URLs endpoint to generate new ones.

​
Step 3: Check order status & download result

Poll the order or use webhooks to receive a push notification when processing completes. 
curl https://api.bizmori.com/api/v2/orders/123456789 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"

failedProcessing failed
Once status is complete, fetch the download URL: 
curl https://api.bizmori.com/api/v2/orders/123456789/download \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
Response: 
{
  "data": {
    "downloadUrl": "https://s3.amazonaws.com/...",
    "expiresIn": 3600
  }
}
The downloadUrl is a presigned S3 URL valid for 1 hour.
