Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Image Watermark

Yes. Watermark removal restores the original file from a validated clean plugin backup. Keep backup creation enabled before applying watermarks if you want removal to remain available later. Existing valid backups remain usable even if new backup creation is later disabled.

Image Watermark supports JPEG, PNG, and WebP uploads. The server needs either ImageMagick or GD available, and the Status tab shows which engine is active.

Yes. Enable the small-image threshold option in the Watermark settings and set a minimum width and/or height. Images below the configured limit are skipped.

No. The right-click, drag-and-drop, and developer-tools protections are browser-side deterrents. They help discourage casual copying but should not be treated as absolute protection.
