2023-09-18
- Now ready for iOS 17!
- Finished many improvements and fixes for the latest iOS.
BIG THANKS to all the beta testers.
What do you recommend we do next?
What's the most important feauture we could add?
Respond from in the app or on plumamazing.com
Please let others know about the app. It helps us keep improving it.
Thanks
7.1.1
2023-06-24
- Fixed the "grey background" bug. Default background is now white as it should be.
- NEW: Load/save Adobe Photoshop images (PSD) one page saved as JPG
- NEW: Load PDF files. Can't save back to PDF: watermark and save only first page as JPG. If you think watermarking all pages in a PDF is important let us know.
- Tiny little ui adjustments: makes the preview more accurate
- NEW: Lifted the "only 1 video per batch" limit -- batch can contain any number of photos and videos. To create such a batch, mix and match any number of selected photos and videos, in Apple Photos, Safari, Notes and most ios apps, then tap and hold on the photo(s) and/or video(s) to share to iWatermark+. It’s important to realize that doing photos and video separately can make more sense because of the huge difference in sizes and times to render.
- NEW: Finalized Dutch localization. Juhu für Niederländisch if you live in beautiful Netherlands this Dutch version is thanks to Hans van Schaick.
- Fixed the 'edit color' page. Entering RGB or HSL numbers instantly updates sliders and displayed colors. Other small improvements in the color editor.
Reminder from previous version 7.1.0
- NEW: Import photos/videos from ANY app directly into iWatermark+. I.e. instead of launching iWatermark+ app and picking photos there, pick one(s) in Photos, Files, even Safari, or one of many other apps capable of «sharing» images or videos; then «share» selected one(s) into iWatermark+ - it’s icon will appear in the second row of the «share» popup menu. It will then launch iWatermark+ and import photos (or a batch of photos/videos) there, ready for watermarking. Overall, it’s a more convenient way to use iWatermark+.
- NEW: «Batch» can now contain a mix of any number of photos and videos (unlike before, when only photos could be batched). Try it from the Photos app: select a bunch of photos AND videos, then «share» those to iWatermark+. Voila! It’s also important to realize that doing photos and video separately can make more sense because of the huge difference in sizes and times to render.
- NEW: «Clear/Skip current photo» button («X») at left-top corner.
- NEW: Subscribe to iWatermark+ newsletter (Help > About > Subscribe).
- FIX: Pasting a «heic» (or other «non-jpeg-or-png») image now works (Import > Paste).
- Numerous UI fixes and polish.
- NEW: Now, use Touch ID or your login password to unlock Apple's 'Hidden' album from iWatermark+.
- Welcome to the 1,455,083,405 people of China. iWatermark+ is now localized/translated to 中文 Chinese. Native speakers, if you find any mistake please email
[email protected]
If your language is not covered by iWatermark+ yet, let us know. If you’d like to help with the localization to your language. We’ve made it super simple. It’s 98% done using AI and we just need you to look and validate it. Thanks to a couple great volunteers, Dutch and Chinese localization is now done. Last chance, don't let your country/language be left out!

If your language is not covered by iWatermark+ yet, let us know. Also let us know if you’d like to help with the localization to your language. We’ve made it really simple. It’s 95% done and we just need you to validate it. Hans volunteered for Dutch and that language will be in the next release.
iWatermark+ is a secret. Sad but true. Getting seen in the App Store is challenging because of the sheer number of apps. iWatermark+ spreads mainly by word of mouth. Continuing the apps evolution depends a bit on you, the user. So, if you like the amazing new features in iWatermark+ every month, then…please, let your friends, your company and the media know about iWatermark+, the professional watermark tool. Big Thanks!

Dutch iWatermark+ is coming next thanks to volunteer proofreader Hans van Shaick.
We need proofreaders for the Korean and Japanese language versions. Not much is needed except to look at the translations in Google Sheets done by DeepL (machine translation) and approve them. It requires ability to read English and native or near native level skills in either or both Korean and Japanese.
These languages are finished, English, Spanish, French, Ukrainian, German, Vietnamese, Russian, Chinese (simplified)
We are set to do languages versions of iWatermark+ worldwide. Let us know if you’d like to help proofread your language then we can release a version of iWatermark+ in your country/language.
Thanks to all users for the great support. More features and languages to come...

7.0.7
2023-01-22
- This release is about dealing with the ever increasing thousands of photos that users keep on their iPhone.
- Added a new photo picker. it's title/name is, 'Select photos'. It's faster at rendering all thumbnails even with over 100k photos (yes, we tested it) on an iphone or ipad. It allows selecting one or many photos.
There is still the second photo picker called, ’Select photos (more info)’, because it can show and sort the photos based on format (jpg, png, gif, tiff, heic, etc…), modification date, creation date, resolution and invert (to reverse the order). The second picker could always do single and batches of photos. The second picker is slower because it’s sorting based on those different parameters. it's going to be slower at responding when a user has tens of thousands of photos.
The way to think of these 2 photo pickers. The new first one 'Select photos' is faster particularly with 10k+ photos. The second one ’Select photos (more info)’ is slower because it's does sorting by created date, modification date, resolution or format. But it's ability to sort, can be useful. Both can select any one photo or multiple photos.
- The 'pick' button in Graphic/Logo watermark now uses the (faster) photo picker.
Spanish and German to come soon
7.0.6
2022-12-14
- this version should resurrects lost watermarks (unless the app and it's data was deleted). the coder woke this morning and realized there was one more thing to try to resurrect previous watermarks and it turns out it works. it issue had to do with sharing prefs/watermarks between the free, paid apps and also with the extension. if you re-created the lost watermarks yesterday you most likely will have 2 sets, the original and duplicates. just delete unneeded ones. our apologies.
- spanish will come in the next version. we hope to do that this week. if you are a native speaker and can help we have already done machine translation from the english and the spanish. now it just needs to be proofed all from the cloud. email if you'd like to help.
7.0.5
2022-12-12
- in the batch photo picker, when you tap the i icon (at top) you can sort you're photos in different ways. now, sort by Creation or Modification dates from the menu. as before you can still sort by file format (jpg, gif, png, etc), by resolution, by size and you can invert (reverse) the order. if you want the same order as Apple Photos app then select by Creation order.
- finished Vietnamese localization. if anyone finds any mistake in the translation of Vietnamese in the app please let us know.

- Just one great new feature. You can now export and import your watermarks. This is a really important feature as it allows you now to backup all your valuable watermark creations you’ve spent time creating. Even better you can now share those watermark files with friends or within your company as the official watermark. To use it, we recommend backing up right away, go to the ‘Watermark List‘ where you’ll see 2 new icons.
- The box with up arrow in the bottom nav bar allows you to export/share/backup your watermarks.
- The box with down arrow in the bottom nav bar allows you to import watermarks from an .iw+ file previously exported from iWatermark+. You can zip and share .iw+ files via email or however you want to people or within a company.
More details in the manual.

6.5
2021-05-27
-- new watermark added! woo hoo! watermark number 12. it’s called ‘Export Options’. the way iw+ work currently and in the past is input format = export format. export options improves on that and allows you to change the format from jpg to png or heic to gif, etc. it allows removing gps and metadata easily. you can also decide on the level of compression for each item or batch.
- layers improvement. now you can have many watermarks and arrange them in layers. touching a watermark consistently brings it to the front. sharing maintains the same order of watermarks that you set and see on the canvas (main page) and that you see as a shared watermarked photo. tip: to preview an export go to sharing instead of 'save image' or saving to facebook, etc. you select 'print' to get a preview. you can even use gestures like zoom/shrink to see if it is doing what you want before sharing and saving.
— bug in the last beta caused a crash when using filter. changed an outdated a call in ios 14.5. now updated to new api which fixed the problem.
-- fixed an issue with the ipad ui. if you see anything out of place on ipad please let us know.
-- fixed video crash
-- movie type fixes (original movie type is kept, unless overriden with an 'export ops' watermark)
-- no more "export movie type”
-- better arrangement and new icons in about boxa
— fixed online manual table of contents. ? help links once again lead directly to matching content in the manual.
-- preferences got a variety of misc changes.
