Watermark

A watermark is a subtle mark, symbol, or pattern embedded into an image, video, or document to indicate ownership or authenticity. It’s often semi-transparent and placed in a way that makes it difficult to remove without damaging the original content. Watermarks help protect intellectual property by discouraging unauthorized use or copying, as they serve as a visible sign of origin or rights holder. They can be a logo, text, or design, and are commonly used by photographers, artists, and companies to identify their work while still allowing it to be viewed or shared.
