Adding watermark to images in Laravel - laravel

Question

I am trying to add a text (as watermark) to images. I am using Image/Intervention package. The text shows but I want it to be at top right hand corner of the image and I also want the size increased. The text is currently at top-left corner and the size is extremely small.
This is my code
if($request->hasFile('file')) {
foreach ($request->file('file') as $photo) {
$file = $photo;
$img = Image::make($file);
$img->text('12345 ', 120, 100, function($font) {
$font->size(45);
$font->color('#e1e1e1');
$font->align('center');
$font->valign('top');
});
$img->save(public_path('images/hardik3.jpg'));
}
}
How do I solve this?

Answer 1

From the documentation:
Font sizing is only available if a font file is set and will be ignored otherwise. Default: 12
So you have to specify a custom font just like in the below example:
$img->text('foo', 0, 0, function($font) {
$font->file('foo/bar.ttf');
$font->size(24);
$font->color('#fdf6e3');
$font->align('center');
$font->valign('top');
$font->angle(45);
});
Update
The text alignment is relative to the size of the textbox, but the positioning is given by the x and y coordinates (2nd and 3rd parameters of the text method). To put the text on the right top corner you can do:
$img->text('foo', $img->width(), 100, function($font) {
$font->file('foo/bar.ttf');
$font->size(24);
$font->color('#e1e1e1');
$font->align('right');
$font->valign('top');
});

Answer 2

The text function accepts the X and Y coordinates of the position to insert the text. The text is being printed into the shown position because you used the coordinates 120 and 100.
Try the following:
if($request->hasFile('file')) {
foreach ($request->file('file') as $photo) {
$file = $photo;
$img = Image::make($file);
$img->text('12345 ', $img->width() - 120, 100, function($font) {
$font->size(45);
$font->color('#e1e1e1');
$font->align('center');
$font->valign('top');
});
$img->save(public_path('images/hardik3.jpg'));
}
}
