# Put Your Name on Every Image You Publish > Put your name or logo on every WordPress image, on upload or across your library. Originals are always kept, so you can undo it. Available in ThumbPress Pro. - Canonical URL: - Markdown URL: Category: Control feature - Available in Pro Stamp text or your logo on new uploads automatically, or across your whole media library in one run. Your untouched originals are always kept, so you can change the watermark or remove it whenever you like. ## Unmarked Photos Travel Without Your Name Here's what happens to images that carry nothing to tie them back to you. ### Images Get Copied Without Credit Once a photo is public, anyone can save it and post it as their own. Blocking right-click only slows down the casual copier, and does nothing once the file is saved. Impact: Copied photos rarely carry your name ### Manual Watermarking Does Not Scale Opening every photo in an editor before you upload is slow, easy to forget, and hopeless for a library that already holds hundreds of images. Impact: Hours of repetitive editing ### A Bad Setting Can Be Permanent Stamp a whole library in place and a wrong position or opacity sticks to every photo, unless you happened to keep separate copies of the originals. Impact: One wrong choice, every photo ## How Watermarking Works Choose the look once. ThumbPress applies it to new uploads and to the images you already have. ### Steps 1. **Design** — Pick text or your logo, then set the position, size, opacity, margin and rotation. Preview it on one of your own images before anything changes. 2. **Apply** — Mark every new upload automatically, or run your existing library in the background and watch the progress. 3. **Adjust or Undo** — Change the settings and re-apply, or remove the watermark. The saved original is restored, and a mark is never stacked twice. ### Three Ways to Apply It Mark images as they arrive, in bulk, or one at a time from the Media Library. #### On Upload and Across Your Library Turn on watermarking for new uploads and every image is marked as it is added. Already have a library? Run it in the background: only unmarked images, or all of them again after you change the settings. Choose which image sizes carry the mark, so small thumbnails can stay clean. #### Preview Before You Apply See the watermark on one of your own images, with your exact settings, before a single file is changed. Adjust until it looks right. #### One Image at a Time Apply, re-apply or remove the watermark from any image on its Media Library details screen. ## Protect Your Images Without Risking Them Built so a watermark never costs you the original. - Your untouched original is always kept - Remove or change it any time, no stacking - Text or your own logo, JPEG, PNG and WebP - Library runs in the background in small batches - Preview on your own image before applying - Runs on your server, no image is sent anywhere ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What can the watermark say? Either text, such as your site name or a copyright line, or a logo you pick from your Media Library. Text supports Latin, Greek and Cyrillic letters. You choose the font weight, colour and an optional shadow. ### Can I undo it? Yes. ThumbPress keeps your untouched original, so you can remove the watermark from one image or from the whole library and get the original back. Changing the settings and re-applying starts again from that original, so marks never pile up. ### Can I choose where it goes and how it looks? Yes. Place it on a nine-point grid or tile it across the image, and set its size, opacity, margin and rotation. You can also choose which image sizes get the mark and skip images that are too small. ### Does it work on images I already uploaded? Yes. Run it across your library from the Watermark page. It works in the background in small batches, shows live progress, and can be cancelled at any time. ### Which image types are supported? JPEG, PNG and WebP. GIF and AVIF images are never marked. ### Does it change my images in other ways? A watermarked file is re-encoded, so camera metadata such as EXIF is not kept in the marked copy. Your original keeps everything, and it comes back if you remove the watermark. ### Does it slow down my site? No. The watermark is drawn into the image file once, so visitors download an ordinary image. There is no script or overlay on the front end. ### Do my images leave my server? No. The watermark is drawn on your own server with the image library WordPress already uses. Nothing is uploaded to a third party. ### Is watermarking available on the Free plan? Applying and saving a watermark is a Pro feature. In the free plugin you can still change the watermark settings and preview the result on one of your own images. ## Ready to Put Your Name on Your Images?
