Why Watermark an ID?
A clean scan of your passport or license is a gift to anyone trying to open an account, rent a car, or pass a verification check in your name. A copy stamped with exactly who it was for, and when, is not: it visibly belongs to one transaction. The French government runs a free public service for exactly this. This tool burns the stamp into the image pixels — for PDFs, into every page — so it can’t be peeled off as a layer, and re-encoding the image strips the GPS location and camera details from photos taken on your phone. Your ID never leaves your device, which is the whole point.
Watermark an ID keeps the job narrow: stamp id copies with their purpose so they can’t be reused. It is built for the small but frequent moments when opening a heavyweight editor, installing a package, or uploading sensitive work to a random service is more friction than the task deserves.
