DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) spread-spectrum watermarking embeds invisible data in the frequency domain of your images. This is the same technology used by Getty Images and professional stock agencies.
🎯 Multi-File Upload: Need to watermark multiple images? Upload up to 10 images at once for simultaneous processing.
Add an optional visible text overlay to any image or video. This creates two versions of your file — a clean version with only the invisible watermark (for licensed delivery or personal use) and a visible watermark version with text burned on top (for sharing, proofing, or deterring casual theft). Both versions are saved to My Files.
💡 Note: The invisible watermark is present in BOTH versions. Even if someone removes the visible overlay, your ownership proof remains embedded in the file data.
AIWatermark is the first commercial platform offering Meta's VideoSeal AI watermarking technology. VideoSeal uses neural networks trained on video compression artifacts to embed watermarks that survive TikTok, YouTube, and social media compression.
⏱️ Processing Time: Video processing time varies based on server load. Neural network processing is compute-intensive. Expect processing to take longer than the video duration itself.
To check if an image or video contains a watermark, use our verification tool:
Image Tracking uses reverse image search to find copies of your watermarked content across the public web, then automatically verifies your watermark on each copy found.
Good to know: Reverse image search works best with distinctive, full-size photographs on publicly indexed websites. Small logos/icons and images behind social media login walls (X, Reddit, Instagram) may not appear in results. Those platforms proxy images through CDNs and often block search engine crawlers.
