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

Choose watermark content and placement

Each image can have one image watermark and one text watermark. Use either type on its own or combine them. Image watermark files can be JPG, PNG, or GIF; PNG and GIF support transparency and alpha channels. Set opacity from 0 to 100% for JPG and GIF image watermarks and for text.

Place either watermark in one of nine positions and adjust horizontal and vertical offsets. Text settings include font, color, size, angle, opacity, and position. Text watermarks use TTF fonts and can include placeholders, such as the uploader’s name or the upload date.

Size watermarks across WordPress image versions

The plugin can process built-in image sizes, including thumbnail, medium, large, and fullsize, along with additional sizes registered by themes or extensions.

Image watermark scaling has five modes: None, Cover, Contain, Fit to Width, and Fit to Height. The watermark’s proportions are preserved. With Fit to Width or Fit to Height, you can set dimensions as a percentage of the image. The Scale down only option limits scaling to cases where the source image is smaller than the watermark.

Back up and restore original images

Easy Watermark can save image backups before applying watermarks. Restore an original from the attachment edit page using the Easy Watermark meta box, or use bulk actions on the Media page. Backups shop only the fullsize image; thumbnails are regenerated during restoration. Since backups store another copy of each image, they use additional server space.

The extension does not restore images automatically when it is uninstalled. Restore images before uninstalling, or manually copy backup files from the WordPress directory’s wp-content/ew-backup folder to the uploads directory. Manual restoration also restores only fullsize images, so thumbnails need to be regenerated separately.

Configure the watermark process

Install and activate the plugin, then set the watermark type, position, sizing, opacity, scaling, and text options before choosing automatic watermarking for uploads or applying marks to existing media. The server must have the GD library installed and enabled.
