Every way to claim what's yours
Stamp your name on it, generate dated proof you made it first, or lock it down — pick the tool for the job.
Your photos get reused without credit. Watermark them once before posting and the attribution travels with the file.
Add a watermarkYour PDF needs a draft mark, a confidentiality stamp, or your logo on every page. Apply it once, in seconds.
Add a watermarkYour videos get screen-recorded and re-shared. Stamp your logo or handle on every frame so the brand travels with the file, even when the platform strips the metadata.
Add a watermarkProtect your intellectual property by timestamping a file of value. Get a proof of ownership.
Timestamp a fileValidate a timestamp previously issued by MyTools, prove your ownership.
Validate my timestampYou're emailing a contract or a statement and you don't want it readable in transit. Add a password before you hit send.
Protect my PDFProtecting your own work is harder than it should be
You made something good. Defending it shouldn't take a law degree.
The screenshot-and-repost economy
The moment your work is public, anyone can save it, crop your name off, and pass it off as their own.
And the tools that fight back have been made to feel like a legal department's job — registries, rights suites, notary fees.
Three jobs, three dead ends
Watermarking apps are bloated and built per-platform. "Proof of authorship" sounds like it needs a copyright office. Locking a PDF means trusting whoever you send it to.
Mark it, prove it, lock it — and not one of them has an obvious free button.
Sharing with a knot in your stomach
You hesitate before you publish, because the second it's out there it stops feeling like yours.
Watching a stranger's account rack up likes on your photo — with no receipt to prove you made it — is its own kind of awful.
If you made it, it's yours
Claiming your own work should be as easy as making it.
Putting your name on it, or proving you had it first, shouldn't require a lawyer, a subscription, or handing your originals to someone else's server.
“We know what it's like to pour days into something and then hesitate before sharing it, because the moment it's public it stops feeling like yours. You shouldn't have to choose between getting seen and keeping the credit.”
Built to defend your work, not to harvest it
Three steps. That's it.
Drop in your file, protect it, keep the result.
Drop in your file
Add the image, PDF or video you want to protect. It stays in your browser.
Mark, date or lock it
Stamp your name across it, generate a dated proof you made it, or set a password.
Download and keep the proof
Save the protected file — and hold on to your timestamp receipt.
Without the right tool…
The small step you skipped is the one you'll wish you'd taken.
- Your photo gets reposted by a bigger account, no name on it, and no way to claim it back.
- A client forwards your unlocked proposal to a competitor who underbids you.
- Someone uploads your design the week before you do — and you have nothing dated to prove you were first.
- You pay a watermarking app or a "copyright registration" service for what should be a free 30-second step.
- You publish your best work a little smaller, a little safer, because putting it out undefended feels like a risk.
From undefended to untouchable
Before
- You publish, then spot your work reposted under someone else's name — with no receipt to fight it.
- You send a document and just hope it doesn't leak.
- "I made this first" is a claim you can't back up.
After
- Your name is stamped across it before it ever goes public.
- The file you shared only opens for the people you gave the password to.
- You're holding a verifiable, dated proof that you had it first.
