Proof of origin for the content you share

Share your work.
Keep your signature.

AquaNota embeds an imperceptible attribution signal into your images and media, helping you prove ownership and recover attribution after reposts, edits, screenshots, and AI reuse.

Built for photographers, creators, studios, and teams who want their work to remain theirs.

The problem

Your images move faster than your credit does.

Credit should not disappear when content moves. But once your work leaves your feed, the connection back to you quietly slips away.

Reposts

Your work spreads to new accounts before the credit ever catches up.

Edits & crops

A quick trim or filter quietly erases the link back to you.

Screenshots

Screenshots strip names, captions, and tags in a single tap.

Aggregators

Theme pages and bots collect your work into feeds you never see.

AI reuse

Images get pulled into datasets and remixes with no trail home.

Lost metadata

Platforms wipe EXIF and copyright info the moment you upload.

The hidden signature

Your creative signature, hidden in the media itself.

AquaNota adds an imperceptible signal to your work — woven into the media so it travels wherever the file goes. Viewers see exactly what you made. The signature only shows up when you need it.

Invisible to viewers. Recoverable when it matters.

Hover or tap a card to glimpse the signal hiding inside.

How it works

Protect. Share. Recover.

Three friendly steps to put your ownership on the record — and keep it there.

01Protect

Upload or process your media. AquaNota embeds an imperceptible attribution signal tied to you — nothing about how your work looks changes.

02Share

Post normally, anywhere. The signal travels inside the media itself, surviving reposts, edits, compression, and screenshots.

03Recover

When your work shows up elsewhere, detect your signal and confirm attribution — with a clear, friendly record of origin.

We embed the signal in seconds — your file looks exactly the same.
