Project description

telewater

A telegram bot that applies watermark on images, gifs and videos.

Features

  • Fast because it is made using async libraries.
  • Simple to use.
  • Any one who uses an instance of the bot will have to use the same watermark and position. This is meant to be used by single person/organization (by only you or your team), as configuration is stored at a global level instead of per user basis.
  • No database connection required.
  • It does not store media (photos/videos/gifs) on the server. Media is deleted immediately after the watermarked version is sent to the user.

Watch this video on YouTube to learn how to use and deploy this bot.

Usage

Using the bot is very simple. Just send a photo, video or gif to the bot. The bot will reply with the watermarked media.

The bot commands /set and /get can set and get the value of the configuration variables. The commands are simple and intuitive. The bot will show you the usage if you send an incorrect argument.
