Product Image Watermark for WooCommerce

Absolutely not! The plugin uses on-the-fly watermarking technology, which means your original images in the WordPress media library remain completely untouched. Watermarks are applied dynamically when images are displayed on your site, and the watermarked versions are stored in a separate cache directory (/uploads/vgwm-cache/). You can deactivate the plugin at any time and your original images will still be perfect and intact.

Yes! When you enable the "Watermark ALL image sizes" option, the plugin watermarks every single WordPress image size - including thumbnails, medium, large, and full sizes. It also handles responsive srcset attributes, data-src lazy loading, and WooCommerce-specific image attributes like data-large_image for lightboxes. This comprehensive coverage prevents customers from using browser inspect tools to download unwatermarked versions from srcset or lazy-loading attributes.

Choose your mode based on desired protection level: Single mode is ideal for subtle branding with one watermark in a corner - least intrusive but easiest to crop out. Cross mode creates horizontal and vertical lines through the center - good balance of visibility and protection. Diagonal mode places watermarks along diagonal lines - harder to remove than single placement. Tile mode covers the entire image with repeating watermarks - maximum protection, impossible to remove without destroying image. For valuable product photography, Tile or Diagonal with 40-60% opacity provides strong protection while maintaining image appeal.

The plugin is designed for optimal performance through intelligent caching. When a watermarked image is first generated, it's saved to the cache directory. All subsequent requests for that image serve the cached version instantly with zero processing overhead - just like serving a regular image. The cache only regenerates when you change settings (scale, opacity, mode, etc.) or upload a new watermark. You can also manually clear the cache to force regeneration. Most stores will experience no noticeable performance impact.

SVG watermarks are supported if your server has the Imagick PHP extension with SVG support enabled (most modern WordPress hosts do). When you select an SVG watermark, the plugin will display a notice in the admin if your server doesn't support it, and you should use PNG or JPG instead. PNG format with transparent background is generally the best choice as it works everywhere, provides excellent quality, and supports transparency for professional-looking watermarks that blend naturally with your products.
