10. Magento. How protect images with watermarks

If you take your own product images for your Magento website, you can place a watermark on each image you have displayed on your site to prevent people from stealing your images.

NOTE: In Magento the watermark files can be uploaded in the following formats .png, .gif or .jpg images. You can place the watermark in a number of positions so that you can place it just the way you like.

NOTE: We recommend disabling Magento cache or clearing it after all configuration changes. Please check the following tutorial for the detailed guidance Magento. How to clear cache

Let’s add our own watermarks:

1. Log into the Magento admin panel.
2. Navigate to System->Configuration:

   

3. Open Design tab and expand Product Image Watermark section.
4. There are four fields that define one watermark. These four fields are repeated for each image type available: base, small and thumbnail.

   Let’s configure the base image settings:

   • Base Image Watermark Default Size – add image size here. You should format it like 200×100 (width x height in pixels).
   • Base Image Watermark Opacity, Percent – specify watermark opacity from 1 to 100.
   • Base Image Watermark – upload actual watermark image.
   • Base Image Watermark Position – define where watermark will be positioned in the product images (Top/left, Top/right, Bottom/Left, Bottom/Right, Center, Stretch, Tile).
5. Configure the same way small and thumbnail images settings.
6. Click Save config button to save changes:

   

7. Go back to the frontend and refresh the page to check how your watermarked images look:

   

That is the end of the tutorial. Now you know how to protect images with watermarks in Magento.
