How does Image Angel combat pre-CDN scraping or Chrome-based plugins?
We offer an optional server-side FFM (Forensic Filtering Module) plugin that intercepts and protects content before it reaches the CDN. This layer helps mitigate scraping, browser extensions, and automated capture attempts. However, it may introduce slight delays or compatibility trade-offs, so its use should align with your platform’s risk appetite and performance requirements.
What is a distributor mark, and how does it work?
A distributor mark is an invisible platform-level identifier embedded alongside user-specific fingerprints. It allows all content delivered through a particular platform (e.g. a dating app) to carry its own unique trace. This mark is applied server-side, before the image is accessed, and enables platform-wide detection if content leaks, regardless of the individual user.
Are distributor marks included by default?
Yes. This ensures clarity and control over how attribution is embedded and reported.
Can we generate overlays on the client side?
No. Overlay generation must occur server-side to ensure forensic integrity and control. However, client-side application of overlays is fully supported using the assets retrieved via API.
Is there a client-side (e.g. JavaScript or WASM) option to embed watermarks into media?
No. Embedding watermarks requires server-side processing. Client-side environments can apply pre-generated overlays during playback or rendering, but they cannot create or embed watermark payloads independently.
Does the system use perceptual metrics to preserve quality?
Not on the client side. Watermark quality is preserved through careful server-side encoding and placement strategies. While no perceptual optimisation runs in the client, all overlays are designed to remain visually non-disruptive under standard viewing conditions.
How are payloads counted for billing?
Billing is based on unique WM_IDs (Watermark Identifiers). Multiple overlays linked to the same WM_ID—such as those used for rotation or different resolutions—are counted as a single billing payload. This keeps costs predictable even for complex implementations.
How fast is image delivery with watermarking applied?
Watermarked images are delivered in under 100 milliseconds on average. Because the fingerprint is embedded server-side at the point of access, there’s no need for reprocessing or transcoding. This ensures fast delivery without disrupting the user experience.

What Makes Image Angel
Fast?
Image Angel embeds a forensic fingerprint at the exact moment an image is accessed, not uploaded.
This is done server-side, ensuring there’s no visible delay for the user but full traceability for the platform should it be required.
By integrating directly via API, it avoids the lag of third-party tools or user-side processing. This real-time protection model means that every image and video is discreetly marked with viewer-specific data before it’s even seen.
