You can also select text watermark. It&#8217;s very simple\u00a0but extremely powerful.<\/p>\n<h4>2. Image Watermark<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/wordpress-watermark-8.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"https:\/\/wpcafe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Capture2-33-650x304.png noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3513 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/wordpress-watermark-8.png\" alt=\"wordpress-watermark-8\" width=\"650\" height=\"304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/wordpress-watermark-8.png 650w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/wordpress-watermark-8-300x140.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Image Watermark: Another free plugin that helps you to add a watermark. Image Watermark allows you to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Automatically add watermarks<\/li>\n<li>To change the position of a watermark<\/li>\n<li>To establish the degree of transparency of the watermark<\/li>\n<li>Limit the watermark to certain types of files<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As in Easy Watermark, you must first install the plugin\u00a0and then go to the settings. On the settings page, you can select automatic or manual mode to add watermarks to your media library:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/wordpress-watermark-9.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3514 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/wordpress-watermark-9.jpg\" alt=\"wordpress-watermark-9\" width=\"650\" height=\"459\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/wordpress-watermark-9.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/wordpress-watermark-9-300x212.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can also select the image size and alignment to add a watermark. Remember &#8211; you need to manually check the size of some of the images, and then add a watermark.<\/p>\n<p>Scroll down, you can upload a picture that you want to use as a watermark, and choose whether to scale it, depending on the image size (i.e., always keep proportions). Here you can also set the degree of transparency:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/wordpress-watermark-10.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3515 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/wordpress-watermark-10.jpg\" alt=\"wordpress-watermark-10\" width=\"650\" height=\"581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/wordpress-watermark-10.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/wordpress-watermark-10-300x268.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We have chosen to automatically add a watermark, and that&#8217;s what got after loading the same image:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/wordpress-watermark-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3506 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/wordpress-watermark-1.jpg\" alt=\"wordpress-watermark-1\" width=\"650\" height=\"244\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/wordpress-watermark-1.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/wordpress-watermark-1-300x113.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This plugin is similar to Easy Watermark. However, the default location of the watermark here works better. We had problems with the watermark position with Easy Watermark, and with this plugin all happened very simply. So, we prefer to use the Image Watermark. But both of these plugins are very good.<\/p>\n<h4>3. Smart Content Protector<\/h4>\n<p>It seems to us that the two plugins should be sufficient. But if you need more advanced features, then we will tell you about several premium plugins.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/wordpress-watermark-12.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"https:\/\/codecanyon.net\/item\/smart-content-protector-pro-wp-copy-protection\/5400835 noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3516 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/wordpress-watermark-12.jpg\" alt=\"wordpress-watermark-12\" width=\"590\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/wordpress-watermark-12.jpg 590w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/wordpress-watermark-12-300x153.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Smart Content Protector &#8211; is not just a plugin for the watermark. It is designed to protect not only your image\u00a0but also the text. It will try to prevent the theft of your texts prohibiting copying. This, of course, is not a 100% protection, but still, prevents a certain number of thefts.<\/p>\n<p>This plugin protects your photos, adding watermark and dragging the mouse prohibiting images.<\/p>\n<p>If you are really worried about theft of your content, buy a plugin for $ 25. But if you only need a watermark, use free plugins.<\/p>\n<h4>4. Premium Watermark for WordPress<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/wordpress-watermark-13.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"https:\/\/codecanyon.net\/item\/premium-watermark-for-wordpress-plugin\/1779630 noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3517 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/wordpress-watermark-13.png\" alt=\"wordpress-watermark-13\" width=\"590\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/wordpress-watermark-13.png 590w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/wordpress-watermark-13-300x153.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As the name implies, Premium Watermark for WordPress is a premium plugin. When adding the watermark, it does not affect the original image. You can add image or text watermark, select the degree of transparency and image quality.<\/p>\n<p>A unique feature is that\u00a0you can activate the watermark only to certain IP addresses. If you like this feature, you can purchase this plugin for $ 16.<\/p>\n<h4>5. WordPress Watermark Processor<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/wordpress-watermark-14.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"https:\/\/codecanyon.net\/item\/fast-watermark-plugin-for-wordpress\/3528045 noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3518 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/wordpress-watermark-14.jpg\" alt=\"wordpress-watermark-14\" width=\"590\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/wordpress-watermark-14.jpg 590w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/wordpress-watermark-14-300x153.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>WordPress Watermark Processor is a premium plugin, with which you can make an unlimited number of watermarks. It can be text, image or image with the\u00a0size range.<\/p>\n<p>A useful feature here seems to use different watermarks for authors of different articles. If you need this function, then you should buy this plugin for $ 23. None of the plugin offers anything similar. The plugin is also useful to sites that are having multiple authors.<\/p>\n<h5>Conclusion<\/h5>\n<p>If you simply want to add a standard watermark to your images, select one of the two free plugins, of which we spoke. If you need an extra set of features, then consider premium plugins. Also be careful with the choice of free plugins catalog, many of them have become obsolete and have not been updated.<\/p>\n<p>And remember, if you do not create a unique image, then you probably do not need a watermark.<\/p>\n<p>Tell us about your experience with the use of watermarks in the comments!<\/p>\n<p>Looking for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting\/wordpress-hosting\">WordPress Hosting In India<\/a>?
