TraceMark

Visible watermarks can be cropped, covered, or distract from the image itself. TraceMark offers a local, privacy-conscious alternative: it embeds a hidden proof and compression resistant marker into the pixel data of images you choose to mark.

To the naked eye, the image is intended to look unchanged. In TraceMark, the marker can be scanned and read back later, helping you identify a specific marked copy of an image. Whether you are a photographer organizing portfolio exports, a designer keeping track of draft versions, or a team managing internal image copies, TraceMark helps you add a discreet verification marker without relying on cloud uploads or external services.

Invisible proof markers Embed generated IDs into images without adding a visible overlay.

Copy identification Mark different exports with different IDs so you can recognize a specific version or copy later.

Local verification Use the built-in scanner to check whether an image contains a TraceMark marker.

Resilient by design Markers are designed to survive common compression and basic edits, though severe edits or recompression may remove or damage them.

Privacy first All embedding and verification happens locally on your device. TraceMark does not upload your images, IDs, keys, or scan results.

Important Note TraceMark can help show that a specific image copy contains a marker you added. It does not grant copyright ownership and should only be used with images you own or have permission to modify.

Disclaimer TraceMark cannot guarantee immunity against watermark removal. The term “resistant” refers to improved robustness against common image transformations, such as compression, resizing, and format conversion, compared to simple visible marks or basic steganographic approaches. Actual results may vary depending on how the image is edited, processed, or redistributed.

Why TraceMark? Because some images need a discreet, local way to carry context — without visible watermarks, accounts, cloud processing, or external tracking.
