ID copy watermark
Repeat the recipient and date across a scan of your ID or passport so a shared copy is harder to misuse. It runs on your device and uploads nothing.
When you send a scan of your passport or ID to a bank, landlord or employer, write on the copy who it is for and when. This tool repeats that text across the whole picture at an angle, so the copy is less useful to anyone it was not made for. Make a separate copy for each recipient.
How it works
- Add the scan or photo of your ID and type who the copy is for. The date starts as today.
- Adjust the size, opacity, angle and spacing until the text covers the document and the details underneath are still readable.
- Download the watermarked copy and send that one, never the original.
What happens to your data
- Your picture is edited by your browser. It is not uploaded to Revault or anywhere else.
- The saved file is a new picture. Your original is not changed, and camera data such as location and date is not copied into the new one.
- This page keeps nothing. The name and date you type are gone when you close or reload it.
Limits to know about
- A watermark does not stop anyone from using your document. A determined person with editing software can remove or cover it, and it cannot take back a copy that was already shared.
- It works best when the text crosses the whole document and each recipient gets their own copy. Check the result: the text should not hide a number the recipient needs to read.
Frequently asked questions
Why watermark a copy of my ID?
If a copy is passed on or leaks, the text shows who it was made for and when, and a copy marked for one organisation is less useful to anyone else. It also makes the copy awkward to reuse unnoticed. It limits misuse, but it does not prevent it.
What should the text say?
Name the recipient and the date, and the purpose if you like, for example "Copy for Northside Bank, account opening, 30 October 2026". The recipient and date boxes fill in the standard wording, and you can edit the text to write your own.
Can I use it on other documents?
Yes. It works on any picture, such as a utility bill, a licence or a signed form. For a PDF, save a page as an image first, because this tool only accepts pictures.
