Description
This plugin enables you to watermark your images, by placing a simple, yet very customizable, watermark beneath the original images (much like the 9GAG watermark).
You can customize the height, the background color of the watermark, you can also choose which image sizes to apply the watermark to and the JPEG quality of the image (if the image is in JPEG format).
Watermark My Image enables you to independently customize two texts, by modifying their font family, font size and color. You can specify a number of values for each text from which a random row will be selected for each image.
You can also customize the text alignment, the spacing between the two texts and the x (if the text is aligned to the left, it’s calculated from the left of the image to the left of text 1; if the text is aligned to the right, it’s calculated from the right of the image to the right of text 2) and y (calculated from the top of the watermark to the heighest point in both texts) offset.
Requirements:
- GD extension for PHP
- FreeType Library
- DOM (if you want to generate watermarks for past images)
P.S.: You can upload your own fonts into the `/wp-content/plugins/watermark-my-image/fonts/` directory
NOTE: If the folder `/wp-content/plugins/watermark-my-image/` contains `wp-watermark.php`, please rename it to `watermark-my-image.php`. I’m sorry for the trouble.
IMPORTANT: This plugin is meant to place a watermark underneath the original image. It is simply a clone of the system 9GAG uses. It is not meant to place a watemark over the original image. If you need something else, consider downloading another plugin. Please rate it for what it’s supposed to do. Thank you.
VERY IMPORTANT: Please backup all the files you are going to watermark and the posts & postmeta mysql tables before you start the watermarking process !
Installation
- Upload the `watermark-my-image/` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
- Activate Watermark My Image through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
- Go to the Watermark My Image settings page and customize the settings.
FAQ
Where can I get the attachment ids from ?
You can see the attachment ids simply by going to yoursite/wp-admin/upload.php and hovering over the images. It’s the number right after the attachment_id parameter.
I do not like the watermarks anymore ! How do I remove them ?
In this case, I’m sorry to say, but you will have to do this by yourself. You should have read that **VERY IMPORTANT** note :(

- Animated gifs will now be ignored
Awesome plugin. Is there a way to not watermark animated gifs? It is causing it to lose it’s animation.
Hello steph! I’m glad you like it :) I’ll look into it.
Ok, fixed! The plugin should now ignore animated gifs. Thank you for your feedback :)
Thanks! Great support.
My pleasure.
Is possible to apply watermark on images that already exist?
I think so. I`ll look into it soon.
Thanks Marian for the great plugin.
Is it possible to print the watermark on the image itself, without adding more canvas at the bottom?
Almor, I can do that, but it will overwrite the bottom of the image. You may not want that in some situations.
Marian, thanks for your reply.
That solution would work for me, because it would keep the image height unchanged.
You may consider adding that as an option in the plugin.
Hi Marian,
Great work on this plugin, i totally love it. However, do you have an idea on how i could apply it for existing images on my blog? Not necessarily a setup or option in the plugin, maybe a php file i could write on the server which takes a certain folder as parameter an runs your code over the images there.
Thanks and good choice with Ovidius univ. Ms Crenguta is a good professor.

Hello Mihai,
I’m glad you like it :)
I am working on an updated which will enable users to watermark older images on their blog. It will take another week or two (I hope) because I am busy with other things.
Stay tuned :D

I have uploaded this pluggin’ and was wondering how I can add a watermark on the image itself. And, can this be done on images already uploaded on my site?
Hello Jim D.,
The plugin’s purpose is to add a watermark under the original canvas.
And yes, you can watermark already uploaded images, by using the “Apply watermark” page.

Hey Marian,
Thanks for this neat plugin, how do you remove the watermark? Somehow I got the watermark twice on my images and I can’t seem to remove the WM.

Hello Javier. I’m afraid you will need to do this manually as the plugin does not come with a recovery system.
Hi Marian,
Out of interest, if I wanted to add a Chinese language watermark to the bottom how do I change the list of fonts shown?

Oh.. Well.. I haven’t tested the plugin with this kind of fonts, but try to upload them to the fonts folder and see if they work.
