Embedded Accountability

Know Who Leaked It.

Image Angel embeds invisible, unique forensic marks into digital content — one for every viewer. If content leaks, those marks trace it back to the account responsible.

Every piece of content. Protected.

Forensic layer

Every piece of content. Protected.

Leaked Content Has Always Been Untraceable. Until Now.

Platforms invest in rapid takedowns and reactive hashing tools, but these measures deliver neither accountability for the perpetrator nor justice for the creator. Closing the loop means protecting content at the point of access, tracing it if a leak occurs, and enforcing accountability with clear evidence. Without that, harm continues.

Ways to Trace a Leak to an Individual

Before forensic watermarking.

Embed. Trace. Attribute.

Embed

Invisible forensic marks are embedded every time content is viewed. Unique to the viewer. Permanent in the file.

Trace

Leaked content is analysed and the embedded data extracted. Survives screenshots, cropping, and compression.

Attribute

The data identifies the account that accessed the content before it leaked. Platform ID. Session ID. Timestamp. 90%+ confidence.
