FAQ

Can I remove watermark after it was added?

Yes, since version 0.6.0 there is an option to «remove» watermark by restoring the original image. Backup feature is enabled by default, you can disable it on the «Tools > Easy Watermark» screen. Note: this will use more space on your server due to the fact that the images will be stored twice.
Only the fullsize image is stored in backup, thumbnails are regenerated during the restoring process.
To restore the original image just go to the attachment edit page. In the «Easy Watermark» meta box you can find the «Restore original image» button. You can also do this via Media page and bulk actions.

How can I restore original images after the plugin was uninstalled?

The plugin doesn’t restore your images on deactivation/removal. Please consider to install the plugin again and restore your images before uninstalling.
If you don’t have a possibility to do this, you can manually restore your images. Just go to wp-content/ew-backup in your wordpress main directory. You will see there are folders in the same order like in uploads, images are stored as /year/month/imagename.jpg|png. What you need is to copy all the files from ew-backup to uploads dir (it will ask you if you want to override the existing files, click YES). As mensioned before, this will restore only the fullsize images so you need to use some other plugin to generate the thumbnails again (see Force Regenerate Thumbnails by Pedro Elsner).

How can I add watermark to pictures that were uploaded before the plugin was installed?

You can go to «Tools > Easy Watermark > Tools» screen and use bulk action options.

How can I adjust watermark image position?

Watermark position can be adjusted vertically and horizontally by selecting alignment (left, center, right, top, middle, bottom). You can also define horizontal and vertical offset.

Can I add both, text and image watermark at once?

Yes, there is a posibility to add only image, only text or both.

How Can I adjust text watermark?

You can choose text font from the list of ten fonts included to this plugin. You can also set font size, color, angle and opacity. Position of text watermark can be adjusted exactly like the image watermark position.

Can I use my font for text watermark?

Unfortunately no. In PRO version you’ll be able to use more fonts.

How the scaling of the watermark image works?

On the watermark image settings page you can se ‘Scaling Mode’ selection which has 5 options:
* ‘None’ – watermark scaling is off
* ‘Cover’ – watermark will fill the entire image
* ‘Contain’ – watermark width or height will be adjusted to image width or height in such a way that it will be all visible
* ‘Fit to Width’ – watermark width will always be adjusted to image width
* ‘Fit to Height’ – watermark height will always be adjusted to image height
If ‘Scale down only’ checkbox is checked, any scaling will be done only for images smaller than watermark image.
Watermark ratio is always preserved, so it can go beyond the image when the ‘Scaling Mode’ is set to ‘Fill’.
With ‘Fit to Width’ or ‘Fit to Height’ options watermark dimensions can be set as a percentage in relation to the image dimensions.

What placeholders can I use in text watermark?

All available placeholders are listed in a box titled ‘Placeholders’ displayed while creating the Text Watermark.

Does the plugin work without the GD library?

Unfortunately, no. It is planned though for one of the releases in the undefined future.

Yes! We’re offering a custom plugin development services. Feel free to contact us to find out how we can help you.

Thanks for this free and great plugin. Works very well for me, automatic or manual. Not sure why others have some issues, i see none. Works with custom post types also. The only thing missing is support for webp, i hope you add this at some point in the future.

I never know when it's not going to work. Much of the time the watermark never shows up. I wait to optimize until after it appears, but it never appears sometimes. I've decided to start adding my own watermarks. It's easier than hassling with this no-show watermark.

Added watermark image, but it resizes it without any controls that make sense. Also applies this rather unusual black box my watermark. This is not to be confused with png/jpg issues. It's like part of the watermark has a box overlaying over it. I believe the issue is with adding small sized watermarks, it bugs out and starts to tile it or repeat. There is no clean way to add in a small bottom right corner watermark with a static size, you can only add with percentage ratios.

I tested this plugin completely, it destroys the quality of watermarked images. It means that it does not do its most important mission properlyThere is no problem in speed or other features. But when it destroys the quality, it means it is useless! (of course, you cannot make two image watermarks.)In the settings, set the quality to whatever, even without changing, it either loses the quality or increases the image size drastically.

Plugin crashed my whole site and added countless redirects. So much so that I had to roll back to backup made 6 hours ago to get the site back up again
