Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    The plugin works great and puts the watermark on all my images great, not sure whats with all the bad reviews, I have it add my website link to all the images I upload very small in the corner. Only thing to fix would be able to easilhy disable when uploading a GIF image, so it does not stop the movement on the gif.

    I never was able to get watermarks with the PRO version. Server setup matches the requirements. I contacted the developer but all in all he wasn’t really interested in helping out. There might be several reasons why it doesn’t work but those are left behind und discovered. I finally asked if he’s willing to refund. Never got an answer. Sad!
