Originals are automatically backed up before any modification. Restore any single image or your entire library at any time with one click.
⊞
TILED & DIAGONAL MODES
Repeat watermarks across the full image canvas at any angle from 1° to 89°. Impossible to crop out — every section of the image is covered.
T
TEXT OR LOGO WATERMARKS
Custom text with full font, size, color, opacity, and rotation controls. Or upload your own PNG logo with scale and opacity settings.
⚡

FAQ

COMMON
QUESTIONS

Everything you need to know before getting started.

Are my original images safe?

Yes. Before any image is modified, a full backup is automatically saved to wp-content/swm-originals/{id}/ on your server. Restore any single image from Media Library or restore your entire library in one click.

What happens if I deactivate the plugin?

Your images remain watermarked on disk — the plugin deactivating has no effect on physical files. To remove watermarks before deactivating, use the Restore Originals tool in Bulk Tools first.

How is this different from CSS or JS watermarking plugins?

CSS/overlay watermarks disappear when someone downloads the image, disables CSS, or uses browser extensions. Smart Global Watermark writes directly into the image pixels — the watermark exists in the binary file itself, completely independent of CSS, JavaScript, or your website.

Does it work with WooCommerce?

Yes. Three options: watermark everything including products, watermark only WooCommerce product images, or watermark everything except WooCommerce product images. Configured on the Advanced tab.

Does it slow down my website?

No. The watermark is embedded once and stored on disk. Serving it is no different from serving any static image — no processing on page load.

Can I exclude specific images?

Yes. Each image in the Media Library list view has an Exclude button. Excluded images are skipped during bulk processing, auto-upload, and single operations. Un-exclude at any time.

Can I change the watermark settings after applying?

Yes. Update your settings, then run Bulk Apply again. The plugin automatically restores the originals from backup first, then re-embeds with the new settings — always starting from a clean original.

What are the server requirements?

PHP 8.0+, WordPress 6.0+, and the PHP GD extension. GD is installed by default on virtually all managed WordPress hosts — WP Engine, Kinsta, SiteGround, Cloudways, and others.
