Watermark

A watermark is a logo, name, or piece of text overlaid on images or videos to protect content from being reused without permission and to identify the original creator. It’s commonly used on social media by photographers, designers, and brands to claim ownership of their work.

Watermarks help deter unauthorized use and ensure proper credit is given when content is shared or reposted. While they’re usually placed in a corner or subtly over the content, the goal is to mark it clearly without distracting from the visual message.
