Image Watermarking

Add Invisible Watermarks to Your Images

Your images look identical to viewers—but carry embedded proof of ownership that survives cropping, compression, and re-uploading.

How It Works

Four Steps to Unbreakable Proof

From upload to legal protection in under a minute. No technical knowledge required.

01

Upload Your Original Media

Drop in any image, audio, or video file you own—photos, podcasts, songs, videos, courses. No size limits, no format restrictions.

Your content stays yours from the moment it's created.

02

Embed Your OrigID

We encode an invisible, robust watermark containing your unique ID, legal identity, email, and exact timestamp.

Inaudible to listeners, invisible to viewers, but always traceable.

03

Publish Anywhere

Download your watermarked file and distribute it on YouTube, Spotify, social media, or your own platform.

Works everywhere—no platform lock-in, no special players needed.

04

Prove Ownership Anytime

If someone copies your content, upload the suspect file. We decode the watermark and generate a legal-ready report.

Ironclad evidence for takedowns, DMCA notices, and court disputes.

Who It's For

Built for Creators & AI Innovators

From solo podcasters protecting their work to foundation model providers embedding provenance at scale— OrigID serves the full spectrum of media creation.

For Creators & Media Teams

Podcasters & Audio Creators

The Risk

Episodes get ripped, re-uploaded, or used in AI training without consent.

How OrigID Helps

Prove original ownership and file takedowns with timestamped evidence.

YouTubers & Video Creators

The Risk

Content gets re-uploaded, clipped, or stolen across platforms.

How OrigID Helps

Track your videos anywhere they appear and prove you made them first.

Production Houses & Agencies

The Risk

Client work gets leaked or reused without permission.

How OrigID Helps

Protect deliverables with client-specific watermarks and audit trails.

Course Creators & Training Teams

The Risk

Premium content gets pirated and shared on torrent sites.

How OrigID Helps

Trace leaked content back to the source and take legal action.

Music Labels & Indie Artists

The Risk

Tracks appear on unauthorized platforms or in deepfakes.

How OrigID Helps

Embed ownership proof that survives any format conversion.

For AI Model Providers & Platforms

Give your AI outputs the same provenance and transparency capabilities as Google SynthID— without locking into Google's ecosystem.

Foundation Model Providers

OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, etc.

Watermark every generated image, audio, or video output so downstream platforms can verify it came from your model.

Demonstrate responsible AI practices to regulators and partners.

Vertical AI Startups

Dubbing, voice cloning, synthetic avatars, video generation

Every generated narration or video clip carries provenance proving which account generated it.

Avoid building watermarking in-house—use a battle-tested layer with patents behind it.

Media Platforms & UGC Hosts

Social networks, streaming, content aggregators

Reliably check if viral clips came from specific AI models or human creators.

Give social networks and moderators a verifiable signal about content origin.

Trust & Safety Teams

Policy, compliance, moderation

Meet regulatory requirements for transparency around AI-generated media.

Help platforms comply with emerging AI transparency regulations.

Enterprise Content Operations

Media companies, publishers, broadcasters

Track and verify content across complex distribution chains.

Brand-neutral infrastructure—OrigID runs invisibly behind your brand.

Example Scenarios

1

Voice-cloning startup: Every generated narration clip carries a watermark proving which account generated it and when.

2

Video-gen platform: Give social networks a reliable way to check if a viral clip came from your model.

The Difference

OrigID vs Google SynthID

SynthID marks AI-generated content for detection. OrigID marks content—human or AI—for ownership proof and provenance. Both serve important purposes; OrigID is provider-agnostic infrastructure for everyone outside Google's ecosystem.

Dimension
O
OrigID
Google SynthID
Primary Purpose
Copyright provenance & legal ownership proof—tells you WHO created it and WHEN. Also Identify AI-generated content / deepfakes
Only tells you 'AI generated or not AI generated'
Content Source
Human-created media + AI-generated media from any provider that integrates
Primarily content generated by Google's own AI models
Customer Type
Creators, studios, AI providers, and platforms
Primarily users and partners within the Google/YouTube/Gemini ecosystem
Supported Media
Images, audio & video (human or AI-generated)
Images, video, audio, text from supported Google models
Platform Dependency
Provider-agnostic—no platform lock-in, publish anywhere
Tightly coupled with Google's model ecosystem
Neutrality
Brand-neutral infrastructure—runs invisibly behind your brand
Integrated with Google's detection portal and services
Data Retention
No persistent storage of media—only minimal metadata for verification
Detection and watermarking within Google's environment
Legal Use
Court evidence, takedowns, DMCA disputes
Transparency, labeling, moderation

Both technologies serve important purposes. SynthID helps identify synthetic media; OrigID helps creators and AI providers prove provenance and ownership across any ecosystem.

Privacy First by Design

Your Media Stays Yours

We built OrigID with privacy as a core principle. Here's our commitment to how we handle your content.

No Persistent Media Storage

We do not permanently store your audio or video files. Media is held transiently only during encoding or verification, then immediately deleted.

Minimal Metadata Only

The only persistent data stored is minimal watermark metadata required for verification—hashes, IDs, timestamps. Never your raw media.

Your Content, Your Rights

OrigID does not claim any ownership over your content. We act as provenance infrastructure, not a content platform.

Enterprise-Grade Security

All data transmission is encrypted. Processing environments are isolated and secured to enterprise standards.
