- and IMATAG MONITOR, the most reliable visual search solution to track the use of your content on the internet.

This invisible watermark allows to identify your content on the web regardless if it has been resized, cropped or trimmed, posted on social media or copied via a screenshot. Used as a tracker, it is also able to trace the origin of a leak.
Supports images (photos, renders, design), videos, and PDF.
