## Description

Radermacher AI Media Marker does one thing at production quality: it labels
 AI-
generated images in your media library and renders a clear, accessible badge on 
the frontend — injected server-side into the HTML, so it works with every page cache
and never flickers.

**What it does**

 * Mark images as AI-generated in the media library (single, bulk, or WP-CLI)
 * Automatic detection from IPTC/XMP metadata (`DigitalSourceType`) and C2PA
    manifests
   on upload — deterministic signals only, no guessing
 * Filename-based _suggestions_ (Midjourney, DALL·E, …) that you confirm —
    the 
   plugin never auto-marks from heuristics
 * Server-side badge injection for core blocks: Image, Cover (including
    background
   variant), Media & Text, Post Featured Image (including Query Loop), Site Logo—
   plus theme template images and Classic Editor content
 * Localized, accessible badge: real text, screen-reader label, no
    JavaScript, 
   cache-proof by design
 * Machine-readable marking: write IPTC/XMP `DigitalSourceType` into all
    image 
   sizes — pure PHP, lossless (files are never re-encoded), works on every host,
   with a verify/repair command against optimizer stripping
 * WP-CLI for agency workflows: `wp aiim scan`, `mark`, `list --format=csv`
    (audit
   export), `write-meta`, `verify-meta`

**What it deliberately does not do**

This is not a compliance suite. No readiness scores, no chatbot notices,
 no assessment
wizards. Depth over breadth.

**Legal note**

This plugin is a technical tool supporting the transparency obligations of
 Article
50 of the EU AI Act. It does not constitute legal advice and does not guarantee 
compliance.

## FAQ

### Is the plugin really free — also for commercial use?

Yes. The plugin is free software under the GPL, for every kind of site, with no 
feature restrictions. If it serves your business, you can back its development with
a voluntary supporter license (a small subscription with a certificate naming your
domains) — entirely optional, the plugin works identically without it.

### Does the badge work with caching plugins?

Yes, by design. The badge is part of the server-rendered HTML, so it is inside whatever
your page cache stores. There is no frontend JavaScript.

### Does this plugin guarantee EU AI Act compliance?

No. It is a technical tool that supports the transparency obligations of Article
50. It does not constitute legal advice and does not guarantee compliance.

### Does the plugin use the official EU icons?

Yes. The “EU label” and “icon only” badge styles use the European Commission’s official
icon for labelling AI-generated content (published 10 June 2026), bundled locally—
no CDN. Per the Commission’s own guidance, using the icon does not by itself establish
legal compliance.

### Can I show only an icon instead of the text badge?

Yes, as an opt-in “icon only” style. The screen-reader text and a tooltip with the
full disclosure always remain. Be aware: an icon alone may not satisfy the “clear
and distinguishable” requirement of Art. 50(5) EU AI Act. If you use this style,
add a clearly visible explanation on the page (for example a footer legend) and 
review the choice with your legal counsel. This is not legal advice.

### What about emails and social media preview images?

HTML badges cannot reach those contexts. The metadata layer (IPTC/XMP DigitalSourceType
written into the files) is the answer there.

## Changelog

#### 1.0.2

 * Renamed to “Radermacher AI Media Marker” (slug
    radermacher-ai-media-marker) 
   following wordpress.org review feedback that the previous name was too generic.
   Functionality, settings, and markings are unchanged.

#### 1.0.1

 * Renamed to “AI Media Marker” (slug `ai-media-marker`) following
    wordpress.org
   review feedback on the previous name. Functionality, settings, and markings are
   unchanged.
 * Admin CSS/JS (media list column, settings page preview and scan) now
    delivered
   via wp_add_inline_style/wp_add_inline_script instead of printed tags.

   translation files are no longer bundled.

   audit export, German translations (de_DE, de_DE_formal).

    verify-
   meta) and pure-PHP metadata writing: IPTC/XMP DigitalSourceType written losslessly
   into all sizes of marked images, on every host.

#### 0.4.0

 * Internal MVP: marking layer with deterministic IPTC/XMP/C2PA detection,
    server-
   side badge rendering for all supported core blocks, settings page with live preview
