Frequently Asked Questions

Can people remove the watermark with AI tools?

A semi-transparent tile repeat pattern spanning across high-detail areas makes AI inpainting removal extremely difficult and visually noticeable, offering the highest level of image theft deterrence.

Does watermarking overwrite my original photo?

No. Your original photo remains untouched on your device. The watermarked version is saved as a new file.
