Reconize: Watermark & Trace

Protect your work
before you send it.

Every copy you send gets its own hidden mark, so if a file leaks, you know whose copy it was. All on your Mac. Nothing uploaded, ever.

Free to try. Nothing is uploaded.

A photo, a video and a script, each signed with your name and a hidden mark
Why

Your work leaves your hands
every day.

Uploads

Your name falls off

Most uploads, re-saves and screenshots strip the info that says it’s yours.

AI

AI helps itself

Anything posted online can be collected to train AI. Lookalikes take seconds.

Sharing

Drafts get forwarded

The draft you sent one client ends up with five people. Which copy got out?

Banks and law firms have protected their files for years. Reconize does it for your work: your name in the file, a hidden mark in every copy, and your No AI Training choice built in. Before you hit send.

Plenty of tools can put a credential on your work now. Reconize is the one that marks every copy, so a leak has a name, and does it all on your Mac without uploading a thing.

How it works

Sign. Send. Verify.

Sign

Put your name on it

Reconize adds your name and a hidden mark to your scripts, audio, photos and video.

Send & Track

One copy per person

Everyone you send it to gets their own marked copy. If one turns up where it shouldn't, find out whose copy it was.

Verify

Anyone can look

Anyone can verify a file, free, to see who signed it and whether it has changed.

What happens when you sign

Three things.
One click.

1Your name goes in. Content Credentials, the open standard for showing who made something, record your name and when you signed.
2A hidden mark goes in. It lives in the picture or the sound, so it stays with the file even when the file info is stripped.
3Nothing leaves your Mac. Your files and your signing key stay with you.

Questions

Good questions.

Is it free?

Verifying files is free and unlimited. Signing is free for 10 files a month. Reconize Pro is $5.99 a month or $49.99 a year for unlimited signing, Send & Track (including gated view-only Links), Watch Folder and your registry listing.

Does it upload my files?

No. Signing happens on your Mac, and verifying happens on your device, in the app or your browser. The optional registry listing sends your display name, the file's hidden mark and a short code made from the picture, never the file. How the registry works →

Do you own my work?

No. Your files stay on your Mac and stay yours. Reconize never gets a copy.

Is this DRM?

No. It doesn't lock your files or stop anyone opening them. It adds your name and a hidden mark, so people can see who signed it and a leaked copy can be traced.

Can the hidden mark be removed?

Yes, by someone who sets out to. It lives in the picture and the sound, not a corner logo, so it usually survives everyday sharing: re-saves, resizing, screenshots and re-uploads. Large crops and deliberate removal tools can erase it. That is why the signed credentials, not the mark, are the proof of who signed; the mark helps find them again when a site strips them.

Do other people need Reconize to verify a file?

No. Reconize uses Content Credentials, the open standard backed by the Content Authenticity Initiative, so any compatible checker can read your files. Our free checker works in any browser, and there is a free Reconize extension for Chrome.

Which Macs does it run on?

Any Mac on macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later. Verifying works on any device in your browser.
