Watermark Image

[Arkshine]

I pushed an update. Give it a try!
Requires 2026.7.0-latest+.

New features

• Watermark profiles
  different watermark configs.
• Tag support
  watermark rules can target tags, not only categories/groups.
• Text watermark
  plain text as watermark source, alongside image and QR code.
• Advanced QR styling
  shape/frame/pattern presets, labeled frames, embedded logo (image or icon), halftone image backdrop.
• Manual watermark toggle
  allowed groups get a button in composer to turn watermark on/off per image. Can show a list of matched profiles in a dropdown list. Works in markdown and rich editor.
• Auto re-watermark
  images already in composer get re-processed when category or tags change.

With profiles, if there are no matches, global defaults will be matched if watermark_default_enabled is enabled.

Fixes

• Unsupported upload extension check ran too early.
• Better watermark error handling.
• Deprecations errors

Migration (automatic)

• watermark_qrcode_enabled is now renamed to watermark_source.
• If you had an image or a QR code defined, the new watermark_default_enabled is enabled.

Other setting changes

• watermark_profiles: Per-profile watermark config
• watermark_text, watermark_text_style: default text source.
• watermark_qrcode_style_config, watermark_qrcode_logo_image, watermark_qrcode_logo_config, watermark_qrcode_halftone_image: default QR styling.
• watermark_tags: default tag targeting.
• watermark_manual_toggle_groups: groups allowed to toggle watermark per image in composer.
• watermark_allow_upload_on_error: upload proceeds without watermark if processing fails. Default on.

Config preview

The preview has been updated with more features and should be smoother.
The button to toggle it has been moved next to the tabs menu.

I encourage you to test and let me know if you have issues! It’s a fairly large update.

While working on it, it made me realize the limits of TC, and I think I might work on a plugin version to simplify the process/code with features such as:

• Tracking
• Server-side watermarking
• Original preserved (restore it later, update watermark in bulk job)
• Tiered access (original for staff/paid group, watermarked for public/anon, etc)
• Dynamic QR Code
• etc.
