DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) spread-spectrum watermarking embeds invisible data in the frequency domain of images. This is professional-grade technology we've made accessible at $19/month.
VideoSeal is Meta's (Facebook) advanced neural network watermarking technology for videos. It uses DCT-neural networks trained on video compression artifacts.
We're the first commercial platform to offer VideoSeal watermarking. Signal strength reaches 97–99%+ at Strong (recommended) setting after H.264/H.265 re-encoding.
Images: Up to 500MB — supports professional RAW files from any camera (Canon 5DS R, Sony A7R V, Phase One, etc.)
Videos: Up to 2GB — handles 10+ minutes of 4K video or 30+ minutes of 1080p
Batch Processing: Process up to 50 files at once (10 files on trial tier)
GPU-accelerated processing for fast video watermarking with Meta's VideoSeal AI.
For images (DCT):
For videos (VideoSeal AI):
An optional text overlay you can add to any image or video. When enabled, two versions are created: a clean version (invisible watermark only, for licensed delivery) and a visible watermark version (text burned on top, for sharing or proofing). Both versions carry the invisible watermark, so even if someone crops out or removes the visible overlay, your ownership proof remains embedded. Choose from 6 positions, adjustable opacity, and font size.
Image Tracking uses reverse image search to find where your content appears across the public web. Select an image from My Files, upload from your device, or paste a URL. For each copy found, we automatically download it and check whether your invisible DCT watermark is still intact, giving you evidence for DMCA takedowns.
Reverse image search works best with distinctive, full-size photographs on publicly indexed websites. Social media platforms like X, Reddit, Instagram, and TikTok are often excluded from search indices because they proxy images through CDNs, require authentication, or block crawlers. Image Tracking is most effective on public blogs, news sites, and e-commerce listings.
Every watermarked file gets a shareable link that generates a rich preview card automatically. Paste the link on any supported platform and your image or video thumbnail appears in the preview. No setup required.
Full auto-preview: X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Reddit, Discord, Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp, Threads.
Link only: YouTube (copy for descriptions), Instagram & TikTok (no external preview by platform policy).
Trial: 5GB CDN storage
Pro (after upgrade): 50GB CDN storage with Cloudflare global delivery
Your watermarked files remain in CDN storage for 60 days after trial expiration. After 60 days, files are permanently deleted. You'll receive email warnings at day 45 and 59.
No. AIWatermark provides technical tools to prove ownership and deter unauthorized use. However, we do not provide legal services or guarantee outcomes in copyright disputes. Watermarks can serve as evidence in DMCA claims and legal proceedings, but you should consult with legal counsel for specific cases.
Frequency-domain watermarks (DCT, VideoSeal) are extremely difficult to remove without destroying image quality. Unlike metadata (which is easily stripped), DCT watermarks are embedded in the actual pixel/frame data. However, no watermarking technology is 100% unremovable.
* Performance & Technology Limitations:
Detection rates, watermark resistance, and survivability depend on file processing conditions, compression levels, and modification types. Results may vary significantly based on usage scenarios. For images: References to "robust detection" or "strong detection" refer to performance under typical conditions with moderate JPEG compression (quality 70–100), standard resizing, and common filters. For videos: Detection confidence varies based on compression codec, bitrate, resolution changes, and editing operations. While our DCT spread-spectrum watermarking (images) and VideoSeal AI watermarking (videos) are designed to resist common manipulations, no watermarking system is completely unremovable. Visible watermarks are an optional visual deterrent and can be removed through cropping, editing, or screenshotting. They are not a substitute for invisible watermarking.
* Legal Disclaimers:
AIWatermark provides technical tools for image protection and verification only. This service does not constitute legal advice, and we make no representations about legal outcomes. The effectiveness of watermarked images as evidence depends entirely on jurisdiction, case specifics, court decisions, and applicable law. Users must consult qualified legal counsel in their jurisdiction regarding intellectual property rights, DMCA notices, copyright enforcement, evidence standards, or any legal proceedings. Image Tracking relies on third-party reverse image search engines whose coverage, accuracy, and availability may change without notice. Social Sharing preview cards depend on platform-specific Open Graph rendering, which platforms may alter at any time. Neither feature guarantees detection of all unauthorized uses.
* Service Warranty & Liability:
This service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not guarantee uninterrupted service, error-free operation, specific detection rates, or any particular outcomes.
* Third-Party Technology Attribution:
Video watermarking uses VideoSeal, a neural network watermarking technology developed by Meta AI Research and released as open-source software. VideoSeal, Meta, and related trademarks are property of Meta Platforms, Inc. AIWatermark is an independent commercial implementation and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Meta Platforms, Inc.
* Sharing, Tracking & Visible Watermark Limitations:
Content shared via AIWatermark share links is publicly accessible to anyone with the URL. AIWatermark is not responsible for how shared content is used, redistributed, or modified by third parties. Visible watermarks provide a visual deterrent but can be circumvented through editing tools, cropping, or screenshotting. Image Tracking results depend on third-party search engine indexing and may not find all copies of your content. Social media preview rendering is controlled by each platform and may not display as expected on all services.
