Easy Watermark Pro

Choose when and how to watermark images

Easy Watermark Pro is the paid edition of Easy Watermark. It can apply image watermarks, text watermarks, or one of each to images in the WordPress media library. Set watermarks to apply automatically during upload, or apply them to existing images individually or in bulk. Pro includes access to more fonts for text watermarks.

Set watermark content and placement

Image watermarks can use JPG, PNG, or GIF documents. PNG and GIF transparency and alpha channels are supported. Set opacity from 0 to 100% for JPG and GIF image watermarks and for text. Text watermarks use TTF fonts and can include dynamic placeholders, such as the uploader's name or the upload date. Text options include color, size, angle, and position.

Place either watermark in one of nine positions and fine-tune it with horizontal and vertical offsets. An image can have one image watermark and one text watermark at the same time.

Fit image watermarks to media sizes

The extension can process WordPress's thumbnail, medium, large, and fullsize images, plus sizes registered by themes or plugins. Choose one of five image watermark scaling modes: None, Cover, Contain, Fit to Width, or Fit to Height. The watermark's proportions are preserved, and Fit to Width or Fit to Height can use dimensions expressed as a percentage of the image size. With Scale down only enabled, scaling happens only when the source image is smaller than the watermark.

Restore originals from backups

The plugin can back up images before watermarking. Backups use extra server space because images are stored twice. Only the fullsize image is saved; thumbnails are regenerated during restoration. Restore an image from its attachment edit page using the Easy Watermark meta box, or use bulk actions on the Media page.

After uninstalling the plugin, images are not restored automatically. To restore through the plugin, install it again and restore the images before uninstalling. Manual backups are stored under wp-content/ew-backup; copying those files to the uploads directory restores the fullsize images, after which thumbnails need to be regenerated.

Requirements and compatibility

The GD library extension must be installed and enabled on the server.
