<h4>Why choose Ultimate Watermark</h4>
Unlike basic watermark plugins, Ultimate Watermark gives you:
<ul>
<li>Automatic backup & restore — originals are saved before watermarking; one click and every image is back the way you uploaded it.</li>
<li>Native WooCommerce support — bulk-watermark all product images, including gallery and variation images.</li>
<li>Professional positioning — 9 anchor points, pixel/percentage offsets, rotation, opacity, scale, custom dimensions.</li>
<li>Photographer-friendly — EXIF and IPTC metadata are preserved; image quality settings are honoured per format.</li>
<li>Conditional rules engine — apply different watermarks based on image size, post type, file size, dimensions, orientation, user role, post category, product category and more.</li>
<li>Non-destructive on-the-fly mode (Pro) — watermark how visitors see the image without ever touching the file on disk.</li>
<li>REST API & developer-ready — proper hooks, filters and PSR-4 architecture so you can extend or integrate with any custom workflow.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Core features (Free version)</h4>

<a href="https://mantrabrain.com/plugins/ultimate-watermark/#pricing" rel="nofollow ugc">Conditional rules</a>

<li>Live preview while you edit a watermark template</li>
<li>WebP, JPEG (baseline & progressive), PNG, and GIF output</li>
