Forensic Watermarking

Forensic Watermarking

Can’t see the difference That’s whole the point

Original Video

This is your original video with no watermarking applied. No embedded identifiers. No tracking. Just the raw playback.

Original Video

Watermarked Video

Looks original to the naked eye —no visible changes but each stream carries an invisible, viewer-specific identifier.

Built-in Protection That Works Invisibly

Built-in Protection That Works Invisibly

Invisible identifiers are embedded automatically into every video stream during playback—so your content stays protected without altering how it looks or performs.

  • Embed invisible identifiers such as account email, IP address, and playback context into each stream.
  • Apply protection automatically during video playback.
  • Preserve the same video quality and viewing experience for all audiences.
  • Control forensic watermarking at the video level using admin settings.

Protection That Still Holds

  • Identify the source even when content is screen-recorded
  • Remains traceable after editing or cropping
  • Works across compressed copies
  • Survives format conversions and re-encoding

Handle Content Leaks in 3 Simple Steps

When a video appears outside your platform, download or capture the leaked version from the source where it’s found.

Submit for Analysis
