SUMO WooCommerce Product Image Watermark

SUMO WooCommerce Product Image Watermark is a digital asset protection plugin designed for WooCommerce store owners, photographers, and digital vendors. Built to combat product photo scraping and unauthorized image reuse, the plugin embeds custom watermarks—such as brand logos, copyright notices, or shop URLs—directly onto product catalog photos. Store administrators can configure watermark application rules across different image sizes, including main single-product photos, shop catalog grids, popup lightboxes, and thumbnail galleries. Equipped with automated batch processing, transparency controls, and dynamic positioning, the plugin provides flexible media protection without overloading server resources during thumbnail generation.

Main Features

• Dual watermark support — Apply watermarks using semi-transparent PNG/WebP images (logos, brand graphics) or customized text overlays (copyright notes, domain names).
• Selective image target sizing — Target specific WooCommerce image sizes, applying different watermarks or positions to catalog thumbnails, main product photos, or full-size lightboxes.
• Granular placement & layout alignment — Position watermarks across 9-point grid locations (e.g., top-left, center, bottom-right) or tile/repeat the watermark across the entire image area.
• Bulk thumbnail processing engine — Apply or remove watermarks across existing product image catalogs in batch background runs.
• Text styling & opacity customization — Full control over text font size, font color, rotation angle, text margins, and background overlay transparency.
• Rule-based filtering — Apply watermarks selectively based on specific product categories, tags, or individual product IDs.
• Backup & original image restoration — Retain un-watermarked original images in your media library to allow easy rule resets or complete watermark removal.
• Automatic new image watermarking — Automatically process newly uploaded product photos and product variation galleries upon creation.

Benefits

• Protects visual brand assets — Prevents competitors and web scrapers from downloading and reusing your proprietary product photography.
