Easy Digital Downloads Download Image Watermark 1.1.0
Description
Easy Digital Downloads Download Image Watermark is a WordPress plugin extension for Easy Digital Downloads that adds a transparent PNG watermark to your download images. It helps you protect digital assets by placing consistent branding or copyright marks directly on product visuals. Instead of manually editing every image, you configure the watermark once and apply it through the EDD image workflow. The extension is designed to fit into the WordPress admin experience, so store owners and designers can manage watermark settings alongside their catalog.
After uploading your watermark PNG, you can choose where it appears on EDD images. When you regenerate thumbnails (if needed), the watermark should apply to newly processed images—note that using relative image paths can help if watermarks don’t show after regeneration.
Main Features
- Transparent PNG watermark support — Uses a transparent PNG so your brand or copyright mark blends cleanly over product images.
- Custom watermark image upload — Lets you upload the watermark using the “Choose Image” control in WordPress.
- Flexible watermark content — Works with logos, copyright symbols, and branding text saved as PNG.
- Placement controls — Provides options to select where the watermark appears on EDD images.
- EDD downloads image integration — Automatically applies the watermark to images used in Easy Digital Downloads when creating uploads.
- Configurable via EDD Extensions tab — Includes settings in “Downloads” > “Settings” > “Extensions” for a consistent admin workflow.
- Thumbnail regeneration compatibility — Supports applying watermarks after regenerating thumbnails when updates don’t appear immediately.
- Relative path troubleshooting — If watermarks don’t apply post-regeneration, using relative image paths (for example, “/2012/06/watermark.png”) can resolve the issue.
Benefits
- Stronger image protection — Adds a visible copyright or branding layer to reduce unauthorized reuse of download visuals.
- Consistent branding — Ensures every EDD product image carries the same mark, improving recognition across the catalog.
- Less manual work — Avoids editing each image in a separate tool by applying the watermark through EDD settings.
- Better catalog trust — Clear ownership markings can increase buyer confidence when browsing digital products.
- Streamlined admin workflow — Centralizes watermark management inside WordPress and the EDD extension settings.
- Improved image updates — Helps maintain correct watermark output when thumbnail regeneration is required for newly processed images.
