Why watermark an ID copy?

A visible statement of purpose, recipient and date can help limit accidental reuse of a copy you share for verification. It does not replace a recipient's security practices or legal requirements.

Can this tool edit or remove official ID details?

No. It only adds a clearly visible overlay to a copy supplied by the user. It is not designed to alter, recreate, obscure or remove information on an identity document.

What this tool does—and does not do

This tool adds a visible purpose watermark to an image copy you provide. It helps you label a copy for one verification request, and exports a newly rendered PNG that does not retain the original image container's metadata fields.

It does not verify identity or change an official document. It cannot remove existing marks, hide document fields, or make a copy legally valid for a recipient. Check what the recipient actually requires and review the final image before sharing it.

Frequently asked questions

Why add a purpose watermark to an ID copy?

It can help limit how a shared copy is reused. A clear recipient, purpose and date tie the copy to one verification request. This is an additional privacy practice, not a guarantee.

Is my ID image uploaded?

No. The image is opened and rendered in your browser. This page does not send the file to this site's server.

What should the watermark say?

State the recipient, purpose and date. Keep it specific and avoid claiming official approval or including false information.

Can I remove an existing watermark or change ID details?

No. This tool only adds a visible overlay to a user-supplied copy. It does not remove marks, redact fields or modify document contents.
