watermarks

A watermark is a faint design, logo, or text embedded into an image, video, or document. Its purpose is to identify the owner or creator and to prevent unauthorized use or copying. Watermarks are often semi-transparent, making them visible without significantly detracting from the content's appearance. They serve as a digital signature, helping protect intellectual property and establish authenticity. While effective in deterring unauthorized sharing, watermarks can sometimes be removed or obscured by skilled individuals, so they are one part of broader content protection strategies.
