You can choose the text, size, font, transparency, position and orientation of your watermark text. You can also use directly any watermak image in GIF, JPEG or PNG formats, choosing special effects, opacity, orientation and absolute, relative or preset positions. Watermarks can be applied on GIF, JPEG, PNG or WEBP images. You can choose the image types, the images sizes and the post types to apply your watermarks or not. You can use backup to save your images before watermarking, and restore them automatically with a simple button. English & French language available. It is very light too. The plugin uses PHP GD script Library. This plugin comes with the following fonts, but you can add your own fonts. Arial, Arial Black, Comic Sans MS, Courier New, Impact, Tahoma, Times New Roman, Verdana ### Languages This plugin is available in English & French. ### Donations Keep this plugin alive and improving, your help is appreciated.

If not just let me know! 😉 Do not forget to apply your filter! ### Can I have both text and image watermarks on my images? Yes, you can choose to apply text or/and image watermarks automatically when uploading new images in the WordPress media gallery. ### When I upload a new image to use as a watermark, is it automatically watermarked? No, this has been corrected since 1.2, so a new watermark is now not watermaked of course! ### How can I set a watermark on bottom right corner of all my images with different sizes? It is very easy, you can set offset X and Y with negative value to be relative to right and bottom sides. For example set X and Y to -10px value to always have your watermark on bottom right corner of all your images even with different sizes. To set an image watermark, you can even use the preset positions to choose where to apply your watermark on your photos. ### How can I add other fonts? Just upload the .ttf files you need in the /fonts directory of the plugin to be able to use them. ### If I uninstall the plugin, are watermarks removed from my images? No you must choose to restore your images BEFORE to remove the plugin. You can also restore your images manually from the wp-content/NWM directory. ### Is it possible to restore my photos after watermarking? Yes, if you have selected the backup option, you can restore all your images as before watermarking by pressing the ‘Restore’ button. You can choose to restore ALL the images from backup directory, or ONLY the images which are in your media library (the images you could have removed before from your media library won’t be restored with this option). You can also go to the wp-content/NWM directory and manually select the images you want to restore, copy them to the /uploads directory of your WordPress installation to replace the ones which has been watermarked. Only fullsize images are backed up, but it’s very easy with any other plugins to generate the missing thumbnails again. ### Is it possible to restore only some images? Yes, just go to the wp-content/NWM directory and manually select the image you want to restore, copy it to your /uploads directory of the WordPress installation to replace the one which has been watermarked. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/bca2600b6e07b4d7476fe81049599a31c3308c279bd3478ca6ddb63fc750f6a8? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great Work – Please extend to media library](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-work-please-extend-to-media-library/)󠁿 [Iamhere](https://profiles.wordpress.org/iamhere/) November 5, 2025 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. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ad840e05b55d1af65a6073ef1094cb0b6b8e7336278ef10be17096e92a4ba381? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[text and image at the same time bug (fixed)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-and-image-at-the-same-time-bug/)󠁿 [tbowly](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tbowly/) October 13, 2025 2 replies 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 ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4bbb28859af93d345c3c910933dd528fd96795b802cce5eb88c554a4b7eb3d8b? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[doesn’t work](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/doesnt-work-3123/)󠁿 [RickAero](https://profiles.wordpress.org/rickaero/) June 14, 2024 1 reply 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 ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/dff7373c893fd3a28ac656e03a7489090cb7fa389b253c885de5b6e10ed8916d? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Good Plugin and works very well.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-plugin-and-works-very-well/)󠁿 [Adrian McMaster](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mcgistics/) January 24, 2024 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. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/1ba43de18480a9c19229cff3caa8a0023f3fddd75fcc2b8d86d69fbee2e8bed3? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Awesome](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/awesome-10161/)󠁿 [mtborst](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mtborst/) December 25, 2023 Great plugin, works quickly and does its job well. That’s all you need to add your own watermark to your photos. Great job! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/cdf60ad62ceb520feb5bf28daff6ad811021e7c5e76f178254c3b3a932839871? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[qualitylesss](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/qualitylesss/)󠁿 [mohammadnrhi](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mohammadnrhi/) December 6, 2023 2 replies 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 [ Read all 11 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/next-watermark/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “Next Watermark” is open source software.
