For Creators

Your work deserves to travel with its name.

AquaNota embeds imperceptible, persistent identifiers into your images — helping you prove ownership, detect unauthorized sharing, and maintain attribution even after reposts, compression, screenshots, or edits.

Built for photographers, artists, creators, and media professionals.

The problem

Once your image is online, control disappears.

Metadata is stripped before anyone loads the page. Screenshots bypass visible watermarks in a single keystroke. The connection between your work and your name breaks the moment it leaves your hands.

Unauthorized reposting

Your work spreads across platforms without permission or credit. By the time you find a copy, the connection to your original is gone.

AI training and scraping

Images are copied into datasets, modified, and used in generative systems with no attribution trail back to you.

Visible watermarks hurt your work

Traditional watermarks can distract from the image itself — and are often cropped out or cloned away anyway.

Metadata gets stripped

Platform uploads routinely remove EXIF data and embedded copyright information. Your name disappears before the image even loads.

Proving ownership is hard

After edits, screenshots, and reposts, establishing that you made the original requires more than a timestamp and a screenshot.

There is a better way.

AquaNota embeds a persistent signal directly into your image — one that travels with the file, survives platform transformations, and gives you a verifiable record of origin whenever you need it.

Resilient watermarking

Persistent ownership built into the image itself.

AquaNota adds a layer of invisible protection before your image ever leaves your hands — so every copy that circulates carries proof of its origin. No logo. No distraction. Just a signal that persists.

Invisible watermarking

Embed imperceptible identifiers directly into your images. Nothing visible changes — only the signal is added.

Resistant to platform transformations

Designed to survive compression, resizing, screenshots, reposts, and common edits. The mark is encoded redundantly so partial damage does not destroy it.

Verification tools

Detect whether an image contains your watermark and generate structured evidence records for attribution and licensing claims.

No visual compromise

Your audience sees your photography — not a logo across the frame. The protection is entirely invisible to viewers.

Fast workflow

Upload → embed → download your protected image in seconds. No account required to start.

How it works

Embed. Preserve. Recover.

Four steps — from upload to verified proof of origin. Under a minute.

1
Upload

Upload your original image securely. Your file is processed and returned to you — it is not stored.

2
Embed

AquaNota embeds a persistent invisible watermark tied to your account or project. The signal is woven into the image data itself.

3
Share anywhere

Post normally across social media, websites, portfolios, or licensing platforms. The mark travels with the content.

4
Verify

Detect your watermark later to help establish attribution and ownership history — even after edits or compression.

Who it's for

Built for modern creator workflows.

Photographers

Protect commercial, editorial, and portfolio work. Establish a provenance trail before images leave your control.

Digital Artists

Maintain attribution across reposts and AI-modified versions of your work.

Influencers & Social Creators

Track ownership as content spreads across platforms and accounts you did not authorize.

Agencies & Studios

Protect licensed content and distributed media libraries at scale.

Stock & Licensing Platforms

Add a persistent verification layer to distributed assets — so every copy carries proof of its origin.

Privacy & trust

Your content stays yours.

AquaNota is built around a creator-first philosophy. You own your work before you upload it, and you own it after.

  • You retain full ownership of your media.
  • AquaNota does not claim rights to uploaded content.
  • We are not training generative AI on your uploads.
  • Files are not stored beyond the processing request.

“We are not training generative AI on your uploads.”

Your files are processed to embed or detect a watermark signal — that is the full extent of what AquaNota does with your content. That is a commitment, not a policy clause. The infrastructure for trusted digital media has to be built on a foundation of creator trust.

AquaNota is early-stage and building deliberately. We want serious creators in the room as we do it — not as users, but as partners in shaping what attribution infrastructure should look like.

If you create content professionally — or rely on ownership and attribution as part of your livelihood — we want to hear from you.

The bigger picture

The authenticity layer the content economy needs.

As AI-generated and redistributed media continues to grow, the ability to prove authorship matters more than ever. AquaNota is building the infrastructure for persistent attribution — one that works across platforms, formats, and the passage of time.
