  • Great Work - Please extend to media library

    Nice plugin, congratulations on your work. It would be super if you can the facility to apply the watermark via the media library to existing images.

  • text and image at the same time bug (fixed)

    review update (edit): thanks for putting time and effort. you fixed it. now this is actually the best watermark plugin on wordpress i think as of now. it also doesn't require woocommerce which is exactly what we need cause in our real estate listing website, we are not using woocommerce original review: please fix this little bug, your plugin is the only one that supports webp format well. i would really appreciate it if you fix the text watermark feature. we want to see texts get placed at center of photos but there is no option to choose or do that in plugin's settings like image watermark tab. right now text watermarks change position based on image size and width and height. we really want to see an option to put text watermarks at exact center position of every images no matter their size and width

  • doesn't work

    the watermark overshoots in the preview. no matter what changes are made, the preview never works, or changes accordingly. And, finally, it doesn't work. on any image type. i just don't see a watermark anywhere

  • Good Plugin and works very well.

    After searching through and testing a lot of plugins I finally found one that will put a watermark on a WEBP image. I used to have JPEG images on my website but wanted the newer format to help speed up my website. A lot of developers will not add the option for WEBP. Some have and the plugin does not work or they add a premium to use it. The plugin works very well on my website without any problems and is easy enough to set up. I could do with the test image you see on the top right being a bit bigger. The plugin needs to have the function for the Media Library so you can manually add the watermark to all of your images because there does not seem to be that function. If that is added a lot more people will download it. I notice some folks have had errors. I have had none yet. So that might be a plugin conflict. I recommend to plugin for anyone wanting a plugin that adds a watermark to webp images.

  • Awesome

    Great plugin, works quickly and does its job well. That's all you need to add your own watermark to your photos. Great job!

    I have tested all other watermark plugins. They are all the same and have a serious problem!They use WordPress image compressor to watermark the original image.In case they only need to watermark, not compress!That is when WordPress does not compress the original image!Especially the original image does not need to be compressed for watermarking.Compressing only destroys the quality and increases the size of the images! Anyway, can you give me a solution so that next watermark doesn’t do any compression? And just watermark? Even if I set the quality to 100, the compression is still done, it's just lossless and increases the size of the images! I just want to watermark, not compress
