Image watermarking helps you protect sensitive study materials by adding participant-specific text (such as email, phone number, or participant ID) directly onto images shown in a chat. This makes each image unique and traceable, reducing the risk of unauthorized sharing.
When to Use Watermarking
Use watermarking whenever you’re showing confidential visuals, such as:
Ads, product designs, or packaging concepts
Early-stage creative (storyboards, characters, UI screens)
Casting options and talent images
Game or product features in development
Any material you don’t want shared publicly
What the Watermark Shows
The platform automatically selects the best identifier for each participant:
Community members: Email or phone number based on their recontact method
Non-members: Email or phone number if available
If no contact info exists: Participant ID
The watermark appears multiple times across the image in a diagonal pattern.
Where Watermarking Can Be Used
You can enable watermarking on:
Image Cards
Single Choice Cards with images
Multiple Choice Cards with images
The toggle works the same way across all of these card types.
How to Enable Watermarking
1. Open your chat
Navigate to the chat where you want to use image watermarking.
2. Select a card that contains an image
This can be:
An Image Card
A Single Choice question with images
A Multiple Choice question with images
3. Turn on “Enable watermarking”
In the card settings, switch the toggle on to activate watermarking for that card’s image(s).
4. Preview the watermark
When you preview the watermark, the system shows a sample participant ID so you can see how the overlay will look on your image.
If you want to preview how the watermark appears with different information, you can update the participant’s profile details and refresh the preview.
5. Save your changes
Once saved, watermarking will apply automatically when participants view the card.
