Prevent Your IDs from Being Misused
Most people simply send a copy of their ID — but once it’s sent, they lose control.
CVOR protects your documents by watermarking them with:
- Who you’re sending it to (recipient name)
- Why you’re sending it (purpose)
- When you sent it (date & timestamp)
If your ID ever gets leaked, you’ll know exactly where it came from and importantly becomes redundant for any other use.
This isn’t just security — it’s accountability. Learn more about recipient-specific watermarking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why not just email or message my ID?
A: You still can - but once it’s sent, there’s no way to prove who leaked it if it spreads. CVOR adds a recipient, purpose, and date watermark to each file, giving you accountability.
Q: Why should I download an app instead of using an online watermarking site?
A: Online tools may seem convenient, but they upload your files to unknown servers - risking your privacy. CVOR keeps everything on your device, works offline, and adds advanced watermarking features (like recipient-specific tagging) that web tools simply don’t offer. If your file is sensitive, an app like CVOR is the safer, smarter choice.
Q: What kinds of documents can I watermark with CVOR?
A: Any ID or document — passports, driver’s licenses, utility bills, financial statements, contracts, or even visa packs.
Q: How secure are your watermarks?
A: CVOR uses advanced watermarking techniques — including embedding in color channels and micro-text layers - which degrade the file if tampered with. While these methods resist most watermark removers, no watermark is 100% tamper-proof. CVOR recognises that motivated misuse is still theoretically possible. That’s why we're developing invisible watermarking — a next-generation solution designed to be impossible to detect or remove. Learn more about invisible watermarking.
Q: Does CVOR store my ID or send it to your servers?
A: Never. Everything stays on your device. No cloud uploads, no login, no backend.
Q: Is CVOR free to use?
A: CVOR is free to try with all features included, but limited usage. To unlock unlimited watermarking and sharing, you can upgrade to a yearly plan - priced at about one coffee per month.
