Why it's different

More than
a watermark.

A logo in the corner gets cropped. Metadata can get stripped. Reconize hides your unique digital mark in the file.

A normal watermark

  • Visible logo, cropped off
  • File info, stripped on upload
  • Gone the moment it's shared

A Reconize mark

  • Hidden in the pixels and sound
  • Survives crops, screenshots, re-uploads
  • Still proves it's yours
The same file shown two ways: the photo you see, and the same image rendered as io/10 code with a Reconize mark sealed inside
What it does

Protect your files.

Three kinds of proof, sealed in with one drop.

Proof it's yours

Your verified name — and the channels you’ve connected — are sealed into the file with a tamper-evident credential anyone can check. No one else can claim your work.

A mark they can't remove

An invisible ID lives in the pixels and sound, not a corner logo. It survives the edits that erase a normal watermark.

Proof of when

A trusted timestamp seals exactly when you signed, so you can prove your work came first.

Send it. Trace it.

Distribute gives every person their own invisibly marked copy of your file. If one leaks, Verify tells you which copy it came from.

A copy per person

Each recipient gets a copy carrying its own unique ID, hidden in the pixels and sound. Copies are opaquely named; the map of who got which copy stays private on your Mac.

Marks that outsmart leaks

Tile your name across the whole frame, or let the mark fade in and out on a schedule unique to each copy. No two copies share quiet moments, so screen recordings still tell on themselves.

A leak becomes a lead

Drop a suspect file into Verify and it names the recipient whose copy it was, with custody records and an evidence report you can export. A match points to a copy, not a culprit.

Deliver by Google Drive with per-recipient sharing, or save locally and send your way. Custody records and a delivery guide are written for you, every run.

Drop in any photo, video, or audio. Reconize shows who made it, the channels they’ve verified, and whether it’s been changed since it was signed. Free and unlimited, always.

FAQ

Good questions.

Is it free?

Verifying files is free and unlimited, forever. Signing is free for up to 10 files a month; Reconize Pro unlocks unlimited signing, plus batch and watch folders, for a one-time $49.99. No subscription.

Does my file get uploaded anywhere?

Everything happens on your Mac. No account is required, and nothing is uploaded. Your files and signing keys never leave your machine.

Is this a real standard, or something proprietary?

Yes. Reconize writes C2PA Content Credentials, the open provenance standard behind the Content Authenticity Initiative, so the record reads in any C2PA tool. On top of that it seals in an invisible watermark that survives a metadata strip: a pixel mark in photos, and Meta's open-source AudioSeal and VideoSeal in audio and video, so the mark lives in the sound and the frames themselves.

Can the invisible mark be removed?

It lives in the pixels and sound, not a corner logo, so it survives the crops, screenshots, and re-uploads that erase a normal watermark. No mark is truly unremovable, but it's built to survive ordinary sharing.

What kinds of files work?

Photos (JPEG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF), video (MP4, MOV), and audio (WAV, MP3, M4A, AAC, AIFF). It also watermarks scripts and documents (PDF, Final Draft, Fountain, and plain text), which come out as a signed PDF. Drop a file in and Reconize seals the proof in one step.

Do other people need Reconize to check a file?

Not necessarily. Content Credentials are an open standard, so a signed file can be checked in the free Reconize app or any other C2PA tool, with no upload. It shows who signed it and when, and whether it's been changed since signing.
