Reinvent Watermark
WordPress Watermark
Add a text or logo watermark to your images on upload or in bulk, and remove it any time: the original is always kept.
A free plugin, coming soon to WordPress.org.
Why Watermark
Put your name or logo on your photos, so they keep your credit when they are shared or copied. Reinvent Watermark adds the watermark when you upload, or to your whole Media Library in one click.
You can always take it back
Before an image gets a watermark, its original is copied to a private folder. Remove the watermark from one image or from all of them, and the exact originals come back. There's no backup setting to remember to turn on first.
Change your mind without double watermarks
New logo, different corner? Apply again: each image goes back to its original first and then gets the new watermark, so you never end up with two.
See it before you change anything
The settings page shows a live preview on your own images as you adjust the watermark.

Safe by design
The original of every watermarked file is kept until you remove the watermark.
Applying again starts from the original, so watermarks never stack.
GIFs are skipped, so animations aren't broken.
The watermark image itself never gets a watermark.
Deleting an image also deletes its kept original.
Tip: keep a recent backup of your site, like with any tool that changes files.
Questions and answers
No. Click Watermark all images again: each image goes back to its original first and then gets the new watermark.
In a private folder inside your uploads folder (reinvent-watermark-originals- followed by a random code). It has an .htaccess file and an unguessable name, so the originals aren't linked or listed anywhere. They use extra disk space, about the size of the files that got a watermark.
The full image and the sizes you choose (by default, every size at least 768 pixels wide). Images narrower than the limit you set (300 pixels by default) and GIFs are skipped. WordPress also keeps an unchanged copy of very large uploads (the file without "-scaled"), which isn't shown on your site; Reinvent Watermark leaves it as it is.
Yes. Click Watermark all images on the settings page, or use the "Add watermark" bulk action in the Media Library list view.
The PHP GD image library, which almost every host has. Text watermarks also need GD's font support (FreeType); without it, use an image watermark. WebP and AVIF work when your server's GD supports them.
Its settings are removed. Your watermarked images and their kept originals stay, so nothing is lost. If you want your originals back, click Remove from all before deleting the plugin.
No. Everything happens on your own server.
