One checkbox controls everything:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Visible badge on your website:<\/strong> flagged images get a discreet \"AI-generated\" overlay in the bottom right corner. On small images the badge automatically shrinks to a short label with a tooltip.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Machine-readable labeling in the image files:<\/strong> the plugin writes the IPTC digital source type <code>trainedAlgorithmicMedia<\/code> as XMP metadata directly into the image files (JPEG and WebP), including all size variants. Google reads this field and can show an AI notice for your images in image search.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Media library management:<\/strong> an \"AI\" badge on every flagged image, filters (\"Only AI-generated\" \/ \"Without AI label\") in both the grid and list view, and bulk actions to flag or unflag many images at once.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>The plugin works with the block editor (Gutenberg), block-based themes, Kadence Blocks and Elementor. Classic editor content is covered as well. Featured images are supported through the standard WordPress thumbnail function.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Background:<\/strong> Article 50 of the EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024\/1689) introduces transparency obligations for AI-generated content, applying from 2 August 2026. This plugin provides the technical building blocks for labeling AI-generated images: a visible disclosure and a machine-readable marking following the IPTC standard. Whether and how the obligations apply to your website remains your responsibility; this plugin is a technical tool, not legal advice.<\/p>\n\n<p>The plugin runs entirely on your server. It makes no external requests, loads nothing from third-party servers and collects no data.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt id=\"does%20the%20plugin%20change%20my%20image%20files%3F\"><h3>Does the plugin change my image files?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Only when you flag an image as AI-generated: the plugin then writes a small XMP metadata block into the JPEG or WebP file (and its size variants). The image pixels are untouched. Files are replaced atomically and validated first, so a failed write can never corrupt an image. Unflagging removes the metadata again.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"which%20builders%20and%20editors%20are%20supported%3F\"><h3>Which builders and editors are supported?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>The visible badge works with the block editor (Gutenberg), Kadence Blocks, other block collections, the classic editor and Elementor (including Elementor Theme Builder templates). The machine-readable XMP labeling is independent of any builder and always works.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"are%20there%20images%20the%20badge%20cannot%20cover%3F\"><h3>Are there images the badge cannot cover?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes. Images placed as CSS backgrounds and Elementor images with fully custom dimensions (which lack the <code>wp-image-\u2026<\/code> class) do not get the visible overlay. The machine-readable XMP labeling in the files still applies to them.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"does%20the%20plugin%20edit%20my%20image%20captions%3F\"><h3>Does the plugin edit my image captions?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>No. Captions are deliberately left untouched.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"what%20happens%20when%20i%20uninstall%20the%20plugin%3F\"><h3>What happens when I uninstall the plugin?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Your images keep working normally. The \"AI-generated\" flags are stored as regular attachment meta and remain in the database, so reinstalling restores the labels. XMP metadata already written stays in the files; unflag images before uninstalling if you want it removed.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"can%20i%20set%20the%20flag%20programmatically%3F\"><h3>Can I set the flag programmatically?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes. The meta key <code>_aiim_ai_generated<\/code> is registered for the REST API, so automated workflows can flag uploads directly.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n<!--section=changelog-->\n<h4>1.0.0<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Initial release: media library checkbox, grid\/list badges and filters, bulk actions, front-end badge (block editor, classic editor, Elementor), IPTC\/XMP labeling for JPEG and WebP files.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","raw_excerpt":"Mark AI-generated images in the media library: visible front-end badge plus machine-readable IPTC\/XMP metadata written into the image files.","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin\/357808","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/plugin"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=357808"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wporg\/v1\/users\/onestepwebdesign"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=357808"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"plugin_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_section?post=357808"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_tags?post=357808"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_category?post=357808"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_contributors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_contributors?post=357808"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_business_model","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_business_model?post=357808"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
