Watermark

A watermark is a semi-transparent mark or logo strategically placed on an image to indicate copyright ownership and prevent unauthorized use. This protective feature serves as both a deterrent and a form of identification, ensuring that even if an image is distributed or shared without permission, the original creator or copyright holder can still be recognized. Watermarks are designed to be subtle yet visible, blending into the image without obscuring its main content. They can vary from simple text overlays to complex logos and patterns. This practice is especially crucial in digital environments, where images are easily copied and shared.
