Async Image Credits – Lightweight automatic image credits

Description

Media Image Credits is a lightweight WordPress plugin that allows you to:

  • Assign credits to each image in your Media Library
  • Automatically display them on the frontend using JavaScript
  • Choose the display style: below the image, overlay, top-right, info icon, or small text
  • Disable display if needed
  • Output a complete list of all image credits with a [image_credits_list] shortcode

Perfect for blogs, magazines and editorial sites that need proper image attribution.

  1. Upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu
  3. Go to Settings > Image Credits to choose the display mode
  4. Edit your Media Library images to add a credit
  5. Use [image_credits_list] to display a full list of credits
Will this break my image layout?

No. The plugin adds overlays using non-invasive DOM positioning and avoids altering your image HTML structure.

Can I customize the styles?

Yes! The plugin loads a CSS file you can override from your theme or extend directly.

Is it compatible with lazy load?

Yes, the plugin uses a MutationObserver and image load events to support lazy-loaded images.

Where do I get support?
