Fair. If you’re a dev watermarking a few images, Sharp directly is the obvious choice.

This exists for cases where Sharp is annoying, not hard: - offloading CPU-heavy image work from your servers - batch jobs (hundreds of images → one API call + ZIP) - no-code / Zapier / Make users

Not targeting solo devs who like writing image pipelines. More for agencies, no-code users, and apps that want “watermarking as a service.”

Genuinely curious if “Sharp as a Service” is a clearer framing — or if this just isn’t painful enough to justify an API.
