Image Theft Guard Plugin

Image Theft Guard is an essential WordPress plugin for photographers, artists, and content creators. It automatically applies a customizable text watermark to every image you upload to your media library. Protect your copyright and prevent unauthorized use of your work without any extra manual steps.

Key Features

Secure your images with these powerful tools:

Automatic Protection

Watermarks are applied instantly upon upload. Every new image gets protected automatically, including all generated thumbnail sizes.

Customizable Text

Set your own watermark text (e.g., “© MyWebsite” or “Do Not Copy”). Update it anytime from the simple settings dashboard.

Flexible Positioning

Choose where your watermark appears: Bottom Right, Center, or Top Left. Ensure it’s visible without ruining the image composition.

Wide Format Support

Works flawlessly with standard JPEG and PNG files. The plugin uses WordPress’s native image processing implementation (GD Library).

Lightweight

Zero impact on your site’s frontend performance. Watermarking happens only once during the upload process on the backend.

Intellectual Property

Deter casual theft and ensure your brand travels with your images if they are shared on other platforms or social media.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I remove the watermark later?
The watermark is burned into the image upon upload. To remove it, you would need to deactivate the plugin and re-upload the original image. Always keep originals on your computer!
Does it affect old images?
No, the plugin only processes images uploaded after you install and activate it. Your existing library remains untouched.
Can I use my logo instead of text?
The free version supports text-based watermarks. Image logo watermarking is a feature planned for the Pro version.
What font does it use?
It uses standard system fonts available on your server (usually Arial or Generic Sans-Serif) to ensure maximum compatibility and speed.
