AI Image Disclosure & Labels

AI Image Disclosure & Labels adds a visible AI disclosure label to images — but only when an editor explicitly enables it. The plugin never marks images automatically, and existing content remains untouched.

Why label AI images?

Article 50 of the EU AI Act includes transparency obligations for providers and deployers of certain AI systems, including visible disclosure of deep fakes and certain other AI-generated content. Relevant Article 50 obligations apply from August 2, 2026. This plugin helps site owners place a clear, visible disclosure directly on selected images.

Features

• Per-image switch for Gutenberg Image blocks.
• Separate per-post/per-page switch for the featured image.
• Optional custom text for each marked image.
• Global editable default text.
• Four positions and three design presets, plus detailed design controls with live preview.
• Responsive behavior based on the actually rendered image width: hide the label on tiny thumbnails, show a compact AI symbol on medium images, and the full text label on large images.
• Three built-in SVG symbols (AI Monogram, Sparkle, Chip) plus a custom PNG/SVG symbol from the Media Library.
• Symbol size in pixels or as a percentage of the rendered image width.
• Optional disclosure popover for compact symbols: hover or keyboard focus on desktop, tap-to-toggle on touch devices.
• Theme integration: works with the WordPress default themes and common featured-image markup out of the box; unusual themes can be supported by adding CSS selectors in the settings — no code required. Developers can additionally use the gdaiidl_featured_selectors and gdaiidl_post_types filters.
• Compatible with common page caches: labels are rendered server-side where possible, and supported page caches are cleared automatically when settings or labels change.
• Clean uninstall: removes all options and post metadata when the plugin is deleted.

Important legal note

This plugin provides a visible disclosure label on images. It does not embed machine-readable markings or metadata (such as C2PA/content credentials), which Article 50(2) of the EU AI Act requires from providers of generative AI systems. Whether and how specific content must be labeled is a legal question that depends on your role, your content and your jurisdiction. This plugin is a tool, not legal advice.
