Image Credit Companion – Proper Attribution Made Easy

Image Credit Companion helps you automatically manage and display image sources and attributions across your WordPress site. With just a few clicks, you can track author, source, and license information — keeping your site transparent and compliant with copyright and license requirements.

Whether you run a blog, news site, or content-driven publication, this plugin automatically detects images, stores their metadata centrally, and provides flexible display options. Instead of manually adding image credits, Image Credit Companion does the heavy lifting for you — showing attributions via shortcodes, Gutenberg blocks, or automatic footer placement.

With a responsive interface, bulk editing tools, and a customizable template system, Image Credit Companion fits seamlessly into your editorial workflow — all without slowing down your website.

Why Use Image Credit Companion?

Proper attribution is not just good practice — it’s often a legal requirement. Image Credit Companion helps you stay compliant with licensing terms (like CC-BY, Unsplash License, or Pixabay License) while maintaining a professional, transparent look for your site.
