Watermark Your First Image

Protect an image with invisible DCT watermarking:

  1. Click "Watermark Images" in your dashboard
  2. Upload a PNG, JPEG, or WebP image
  3. Choose "Premium DCT Watermark" (server-side)
  4. Click "Process" and wait for processing to complete
  5. Your watermarked image is now stored on Cloudflare CDN
  6. Copy the CDN URL to share or embed your watermarked content

💡 Pro Tip: Toggle "Add Visible Watermark" to create a second version with text burned on top — perfect for sharing previews or client proofs. The clean version (invisible watermark only) is saved separately for licensed delivery. Use Batch tab for up to 10 files at once.

Watermark Your First Video

Protect videos with Meta's VideoSeal AI:

  1. Go to "Watermark Tool" and switch to "Videos" tab
  2. Upload MP4, MOV, or WebM video (up to 2GB)
  3. Enter your watermark message
  4. Click "Process Video"
  5. Wait ~2-3x video duration (progress bar shows status)
  6. Download your watermarked video or get CDN link

Note: GPU-accelerated VideoSeal AI processing. 97–99%+ signal strength at Strong setting after H.264/H.265 re-encoding. Works for TikTok, Reels, Shorts, Instagram, X, and long-form content. You can also toggle "Add Visible Watermark" to create a second copy with text overlay for proofing.

Verify a Watermark

Test watermark detection to see it in action:

  1. Go to Verifier Tool
  2. Upload your watermarked image or video
  3. Click "Verify Watermark"
  4. See extracted data: your email, timestamp, signature
  5. Check signal strength score and confirmed watermark message

🔍 Test Durability: Try compressing your watermarked image to 80% JPEG quality, then verify again. Watermark should still be detected!

5

Share Your Content

Share watermarked content with auto-preview on 9+ platforms:

  1. Go to My Files
  2. Click the Share button on any watermarked file
  3. Choose a platform (X, LinkedIn, Discord, Reddit, etc.) or copy the link
  4. Paste — your image appears as a rich preview card automatically

Supported platforms: X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Reddit, Discord, Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp, Threads. YouTube copies link for descriptions.

6

Track Your Images

Find where your content appears online with reverse image search:

  1. Go to Image Tracking
  2. Select an image from My Files, upload from your device, or paste a URL
  3. Click "Search" to run a reverse image search across the web
  4. Review results — we auto-verify your watermark on each copy found
  5. Use verified results as evidence for DMCA takedowns

Good to know: Works best with distinctive, full-size photos on publicly indexed sites. Social media platforms often block search crawlers.
