- Click different placeholder codes to fill in the watermark box. For example, click% user_login% to copy automatically, and then paste them in the watermark box. The watermark of the user name of the WordPress webmaster will be added to the image.
Text options include font, color, size, angle, and opacity. Try changing parameters more often, and upload a picture on the right side of the page to see the effect in real time.
Next is the watermark position and offset.
The position is in the shape of a nine square grid. Select any grid and different X/Y axis offsets. See the real-time effect adjustment on the right side.
The rest of the rules can be defaulted and do not need to be changed.

The difference between image watermark and text watermark is that the image needs to be uploaded, and the opacity parameter can only be used for gif and jpg images. Set the scale.
3. Batch Watermarking and Recovery Backup
After making a watermark, set it as batch watermark in the tool. After use, the watermark can be quickly applied to all images in the media library.
When a watermark is added to a picture, the corresponding picture is automatically backed up. The recovery backup is to restore the watermark free state of the picture, that is, use the backup to cover the watermarked picture.

If you want to watermark only one picture, open it in the Media Library, and click the picture to view it in the Attachment Details window. Click the "Edit more details" link in the lower right corner to access the watermark options.

Easy Watermark plug-in is easy to use, but it does not support Chinese text watermark. But you can add Chinese to the image watermark, so you can add Chinese text watermark indirectly. The advantage is that you can add watermarks in batches, and automatically back up the original pictures. If necessary, you can restore the picture backup.
