What you get

Turn a shared copy into a lead.

Read the watermark ID

Etchv returns the watermark ID. Recipient names and other details stay in your system.

See the whole picture

Page and frame results reveal partial matches or different watermarks in one file.

Interpret a match

A detected watermark identifies a record. It cannot prove who shared the file or who owns it.

Check unmarked files

Unmarked-file results: 1,535 of 1,535 checks correctly found no watermark. This does not guarantee zero false detections.

Watermark detection

Etchv

Your watermark ID

Read the watermark ID from a shared copy, then look it up in your records.

Steg.AI

Leak tracing

Traces marked content. Confirm how recovered information connects to your records.

IMATAG

Registered content

Image detection uses registered content. Video has a separate workflow.

Digimarc

Origin records

Connects media to origin records, including Content Credentials.

EchoMark

Recipient tracing

Investigations use a leaked copy and possible originals to identify the recipient.

Before you start

Know the limits.

  • Etchv detects its own watermarks. It is not a general AI-image detector.
  • No match leaves the answer open. Editing or another watermark system can prevent recovery.
