Easy Watermark

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 95% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

   I’ve managed to add support for the WebP format. Both developers and users can contact me to obtain it.Special thanks to Mr. Wojtek Szałkiewicz, the original developer.

   I positioned my watermarks in the bottom right corner as a small logo and text. It works for most images. However, for some, the logo is large and centered, obscuring large portions of the image.

   I wanted to suggest adding WebP support to your plugin for applying watermarks to images. As WebP is increasingly becoming a popular format due to its superior compression and quality, it’s essential to have watermark functionality for it as well. Currently, images in WebP format are left without watermarks, which compromises their protection. This feature would significantly enhance the plugin’s utility for users who rely on modern image formats. Thank you for considering this suggestion!

   This no longer works with new versions of WordPress. The only way to fix your de-rezzed and miscolored corrupted images after using this is to restore from a backup you made by other means. The built-in “restore” function doesn’t work any better than the watermarking function. If they fix it for newer versions of wordpress, it’ll be great like it used to be and I’ll revise this to 5 stars. But for now, it is a DO NOT INSTALL.
