If another website or social media platform reuses images from your blog without permission, your content can easily lose its original source identity and branding. Manually adding custom text or logos using image editors like Photoshop can be time-consuming. The built-in Watermark Plugin in the Probha Blogger Template automates this process. Once enabled, it overlays your specified watermark text onto blog post images automatically—saving time while preserving your brand identity across all visual content.
What Is the Watermark Plugin?
A watermark is a subtle text or brand overlay placed on top of an image to mark ownership. The Probha Watermark Plugin handles this dynamically without modifying the original image file stored on your server. You define a single string—such as your blog name, brand, or domain—and the template renders that overlay on top of post images as they load on your site.
For example, if you set the watermark string to Probha, your readers will see Probha overlaid across post images automatically.
Where to Find the Watermark Gadget
You do not need to edit your Blogger XML theme file to set up watermarking. The feature is controlled directly from your layout dashboard:
- Sign in to your Blogger Dashboard.
- Navigate to the Layout tab.
- Locate the Plugins section.
- Open the HTML/JavaScript gadget labeled Watermark.
