Schnieders AI Media Labels helps you comply with the transparency obligations of the EU AI Act (Article 50), which require AI-generated media to be disclosed.

Open any image in the Media Library, tick “This image is AI-generated” (and optionally note the tool used, e.g. Midjourney), and the plugin displays a clear, configurable label wherever that image appears on your site.

Features

A simple checkbox in the Media Library to flag any image, video or audio file as AI-generated.
Optional field to record the AI tool or model used.
Automatic front-end labelling of flagged files — no theme edits required.
Auto-detection: uploads that already declare AI provenance (IPTC/XMP “Digital Source Type”) are flagged automatically.
Media Library column, AI-status filter and bulk mark/unmark actions.
Optional machine-readable marking: writes the IPTC “Digital Source Type” (trainedAlgorithmicMedia) into the image file (JPEG/PNG) so the AI status travels with the file.
Works with images in post content, Gutenberg blocks, featured images, theme templates, and video/audio blocks.
Settings page to control:
- Whether labelling is enabled.
- Display mode: badge overlay, caption, or both.
- Badge position (all four corners).
- Badge shape: square, rounded, pill or circle.
- Font size and distance from the corner (in pixels).
- Indicator inside the badge: none, a dot, or a custom symbol (e.g. “!”).
- Short badge text and full label text.
- Badge background and text colour.
- Whether to append the label to the image alt attribute (accessibility).
