Hide an invisible watermark in a photo

Hide a short text, like your name or an ID, inside a photo. It cannot be seen, and only your secret word reads it back, so you can show a photo is yours.

How to do it

  1. Add your photo.
  2. Type a secret word and the text to hide, then download the marked photo. It looks the same.
  3. Later, add any copy of the photo, choose Check for a mark, and type the same secret word.

Questions

What does the mark survive?

Saving as JPG again, even at low quality, resizing, sharing apps that shrink photos, brightness and contrast changes, mirroring or turning, and cropping away up to about half of the photo. In tests it still read back after all of these.

What removes it?

Cutting the photo down to a small piece removes it, and so can heavy editing. Pages that are mostly plain white hold a weaker mark, which may not survive a crop. The app checks every saved file and tells you if the mark did not take.

Can someone else read or find the mark?

Not without your secret word: it sets where and how the text is hidden. No watermark is impossible for a determined expert to disturb, so treat it as strong evidence, not as a lock.

What if I forget the secret word?

The mark cannot be read without it, and the word is never stored or sent anywhere. Write it down somewhere safe.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything happens inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. Your files never leave your device, which is why it also works with no internet once the page has loaded.
