Aprašymas
Watermark RELOADED is a lightweight WordPress image watermark plugin that automatically adds a customizable text watermark to images when you upload them to your Media Library.
Use it to:
- Protect your work from unauthorized reuse
- Brand images with your site name, URL, or copyright notice
- Keep control of your visual content with a simple, set-and-forget solution
You can:
- Choose which image sizes to watermark: thumbnail, medium, large, full size
- Customize text watermark font and color
- Precisely control watermark position (corners, edges or centered) on the image
- Preview your watermark before saving settings so you know exactly how it will look
The plugin adds:
- A dedicated Watermark RELOADED settings page where you configure your watermark and see a live preview
- A WordPress Dashboard widget that shows your current watermark settings and a preview of the watermark directly on the main Dashboard screen
Key Features
- Automatic watermark on upload – newly uploaded images are watermarked immediately
- Text watermarking – add copyright text, site name or any custom message
- Custom fonts – upload your own TTF fonts to use for the watermark
- Color picker integration – choose any text color for your watermark
- Per-size control – enable watermarking only on selected image sizes
- Live settings preview – see how your watermark text, color and position look in the plugin settings before they are applied to new uploads
- Dashboard widget – quickly review enabled sizes, position, offset and a preview from the WordPress Dashboard
- Simple, focused UI – no unnecessary settings, just what you need to protect your images
How it works
- You configure your watermark text, font, color, and position in Settings Watermark Reloaded.
- You choose which image sizes should receive the watermark.
- When you upload a new image through the Media Library or post editor, Watermark RELOADED automatically applies the text watermark to the selected sizes.
Existing images in your Media Library are not modified – only new uploads are processed.
Requirements
To generate watermarks, your server must support:
- PHP 5.3+
- GD extension for PHP
- FreeType Library (for rendering text)
If any of these are missing, the plugin will show an error message so you can contact your hosting provider.
Planned improvements
The following ideas are on the to-do list and may be implemented in future updates:
- Additional bug fixes and compatibility adjustments
- Smarter handling of small images where the watermark might overflow
- Support for watermarking additional custom image sizes added by other plugins/themes
- Image-size aware watermarks and more flexible positioning options

DUK
-
The plugin doesn’t seem to work. What information do you need to help debug it?
-
When reporting a problem, please include:
- A screenshot of your Watermark RELOADED settings page
- Any error messages shown on screen
- Relevant entries from your
php_error.logor server error log - The output of your
phpinfo()so we can see your PHP/GD/FreeType configuration
-
I’m getting an error that the GD extension is not installed.
-
The plugin needs the GD extension to process images.
Contact your hosting provider and ask them to enable GD for your hosting account. Without it, images cannot be watermarked. -
I’m getting an error that the FreeType Library is not installed.
-
The plugin uses FreeType to render text as a watermark.
Contact your hosting provider and ask them to install or enable the FreeType library on your server. -
Can I watermark images that were uploaded before I installed this plugin?
-
Not at the moment. Watermark RELOADED only processes new uploads.
Existing images already in your Media Library are not modified. -
Does Watermark RELOADED change my original full-size image?
-
You can choose whether the full-size image should be watermarked in the plugin settings.
If you prefer to keep the original full-size image untouched, simply uncheck the option for full-size images and only watermark the generated sizes (thumbnail, medium, large).
