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 distinguishes between providers and deployers of AI systems. Providers of certain generative AI systems must add machine-readable marks to generated or manipulated outputs. Separate disclosure duties apply to deployers in specified cases, including deepfakes and certain public-interest text. The relevant rules apply from August 2, 2026. This plugin helps site owners add a visible disclosure and an optional publisher-supplied structured-data declaration to 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.
Optional machine-readable Schema.org digitalSourceType declarations using standardized IPTC source categories.
Global default and per-image source type: created using generative AI or edited using generative AI.
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.
Location-specific display rules: force icon-only mode or hide an existing disclosure inside selected page areas by using CSS selectors.
Featured-image support across homepages, archives, query blocks, cards and post loops, including changing or randomly selected posts.
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 can provide both a visible disclosure label and an optional publisher-supplied Schema.org declaration in the page source. The structured data uses standardized IPTC Digital Source Type categories, but it does not modify the image file, create or verify C2PA Content Credentials, prove origin or authenticity, or replace machine-readable markings supplied by the provider of a generative AI system. Whether and how specific content must be labeled depends on your role, your content and the applicable law. This plugin is a tool, not legal advice.
