Watermarking Addon

Would you like to add a watermark to your gallery images?  With Envira’s Watermarking Addon you can easily achieve this. We’ll walk you through how to create a gallery of images with a watermark using the Envira Watermarking Addon.

Please follow our instructions on how to install and activate addons.

In this instance, you’ll be activating the Envira Watermarking Addon.

Your first step is to create a new gallery or edit an existing one. You can follow along with our documentation for creating your first gallery.

Navigate to the Watermarking tab.

Click the Enable Watermarking? box to enable watermarking. Next, select your watermark image from the Media Library or upload a new image.

Then you can choose the Position and the Margin for your watermark placement.

Click on the Watermarking tab to enable the watermark for your gallery

Finally, click Publish or Update on your gallery to save the changes.

See the demo!

That’s it! You have created your watermarked gallery. If you want to add additional protection by disabling right click on your images, check our Protection Addon.

A: No, the watermark is applied to the original image so it can’t be removed. You’ll need to re-upload the original image to your gallery.

A: Yes. Your images will appear with a watermark when viewed in the thumbnail layout, in lightbox view, and even the thumbnails if you enable thumbnails to appear in lightbox view.

A: The server your website is hosted on will process the images in the background to add a watermark. If the images you’re watermarking are very large, there are many images in your gallery, or your server is running slow for any reason, you may notice a lag between when you configure watermarking for a gallery and when the images are done being processed by your server.

If you’re noticing very large lag times, you may wish to contact your web host about how to improve the performance of your server.

A: We recommend a .png file with a transparent background.

A: Watermarking is not available for dynamic galleries or for Enivra albums.

A: If you did not set up the watermarking functionality before uploading your images to the gallery, you will need to change the Image Dimensions in order to force the regeneration of the images. This causes a new image creation using the watermark.

A: This could be because you’re cropping the images in the center so where the watermark is placed, you may not see it in the gallery view if you’re using cropped images.
