Extract Image Watermark

Found an image you suspect was stolen or AI-generated, and want to check whether it carries a hidden marker? Hand it straight to this endpoint and it pulls the embedded marker back out in full.

Overview

This endpoint detects whether an image contains an invisible watermark and, if so, recovers the original marker that was written in. It still reads back reliably in most cases even after the image has been compressed, cropped, or forwarded many times. It also guards against false positives: if the image really was never processed, it clearly returns no result instead of stitching together something meaningless.

Notes

If you changed any advanced parameters when embedding (such as ecc or model_type), you must pass the same values here when reading. If embedding used the defaults, just leave these empty.
