Original Problem

Image creators need to protect their work from unauthorized use and theft

Content creators, photographers, and designers struggle to prevent their images from being copied, redistributed, or used without permission. Current image processing tools lack built-in watermarking capabilities, forcing users to switch between multiple applications or manually add watermarks in post-production, creating friction in their workflow and leaving their work vulnerable during distribution.
