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.
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.
Your work spreads across platforms without permission or credit. By the time you find a copy, the connection to your original is gone.
Images are copied into datasets, modified, and used in generative systems with no attribution trail back to you.
Traditional watermarks can distract from the image itself — and are often cropped out or cloned away anyway.
Platform uploads routinely remove EXIF data and embedded copyright information. Your name disappears before the image even loads.
After edits, screenshots, and reposts, establishing that you made the original requires more than a timestamp and a screenshot.
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.
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.
Embed imperceptible identifiers directly into your images. Nothing visible changes — only the signal is added.
Designed to survive compression, resizing, screenshots, reposts, and common edits. The mark is encoded redundantly so partial damage does not destroy it.
Detect whether an image contains your watermark and generate structured evidence records for attribution and licensing claims.
Your audience sees your photography — not a logo across the frame. The protection is entirely invisible to viewers.
Upload → embed → download your protected image in seconds. No account required to start.
Four steps — from upload to verified proof of origin. Under a minute.
Upload your original image securely. Your file is processed and returned to you — it is not stored.
AquaNota embeds a persistent invisible watermark tied to your account or project. The signal is woven into the image data itself.
Post normally across social media, websites, portfolios, or licensing platforms. The mark travels with the content.
Detect your watermark later to help establish attribution and ownership history — even after edits or compression.
Protect commercial, editorial, and portfolio work. Establish a provenance trail before images leave your control.
Maintain attribution across reposts and AI-modified versions of your work.
Track ownership as content spreads across platforms and accounts you did not authorize.
Protect licensed content and distributed media libraries at scale.
Add a persistent verification layer to distributed assets — so every copy carries proof of its origin.
AquaNota is built around a creator-first philosophy. You own your work before you upload it, and you own it after.
“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.
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.
No. The signal is designed to be imperceptible — it should not affect the visual quality of your work. Your audience will not notice any difference.
While we are building the technology to be invisible, the embedding process may cause a very subtle change in the image data that can be detected with the right tools. This is a side effect of how the watermark is woven into the image and is not a visible overlay or pattern. If you spot this, please let us know so we can improve our ability to help you!
AquaNota's watermarking uses redundant encoding specifically designed to survive common transformations like compression, cropping, resizing, and format conversion.
A detection result from AquaNota provides a structured record showing the mark was present in a file. While it is not a substitute for legal advice, it creates a verifiable record of your claim to the original.
Your files are processed to embed or detect watermarks and are not retained beyond that request. We do not store, share, or use your content for any other purpose.
Great questions - we are building these now!
