Stop Image Theft Before It Happens

On classified ads platforms, listing photos are your users' most valuable asset. Without protection, images are easily downloaded, reposted on competing sites, or used in fraudulent listings. The Watermark plugin solves this by automatically stamping every uploaded image with a configurable watermark; your site name, logo, or custom text; the moment it is uploaded. No manual work, no forgotten images, no unprotected content. Watermarks are rendered directly onto the image file, so they persist even when images are downloaded or shared elsewhere. Your brand stays visible and your users' content stays protected.

Full Control Over Appearance

Every classified ads site has its own identity, and watermarks should reflect that. The plugin gives you precise control over every aspect of the watermark: choose between text or image overlays, set the position (center, corners, tiled), adjust opacity from barely visible to bold, and control the size relative to the image. Text watermarks support custom fonts, colors, and rotation angles. Image watermarks support PNG logos with transparency. Preview your settings before applying them to ensure they protect without distracting from the listing content.

Powerful Image Protection Made Simple

Text Watermarks

Add your site name, brand, or any custom text as a watermark. Choose from multiple fonts, set the color and opacity, and control the rotation angle for a professional, branded look on every listing image.

Image Watermarks

Overlay your logo or custom graphic on uploaded photos. Supports PNG with transparency for seamless blending. Scale the image watermark proportionally to the photo dimensions so it looks right on any size.

Configurable Position

Place the watermark exactly where you want it: center, top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right, or tiled across the entire image. Each position option includes margin offsets for pixel-perfect placement.

Adjustable Opacity & Size

Fine-tune watermark visibility with opacity controls from 0% to 100%. Set the watermark size as a percentage of the image dimensions so it scales correctly whether the photo is a thumbnail or a full-resolution upload.

Auto-Applied on Upload

Watermarks are applied instantly when users upload listing photos. No manual step, no batch processing queue, no forgotten images. Every image that enters your platform is protected from the moment it arrives.

Theft Deterrent

Watermarked images are significantly less attractive to content thieves. Even if downloaded, the watermark makes unauthorized use obvious. Protect your platform's reputation and your users' original content.
