How to use it
- Upload your photo or graphic.
- Fill in Artist (your name or brand) and Copyright, for example “Copyright 2026 YourBusiness.com”.
- Save and download. The notice is written to EXIF Copyright, XMP dc:rights and dc:creator.
Metadata copyright vs watermark
A watermark is visible and can be cropped out. Copyright metadata is invisible and stays with the original file wherever it is downloaded or shared as a file. For the best protection use both on important work.
Tip: write Copyright 2026 Name instead of the © symbol – some older Windows tools show © incorrectly.
Frequently asked questions
Will Google show my copyright?
Google Images can display “Creator” and “Copyright” credits when they are present in the image’s IPTC/XMP metadata.
Can someone remove the copyright metadata?
Yes, anyone can strip metadata, so it is proof of ownership on original files rather than a lock. Keep your original high-resolution files safe.
Can I add copyright to many images?
Upload them one by one. Premium removes the daily limit.
