Protecting the images you send
When you send a photo in a chat — a reference, a design, a piece you'd rather not see copied — you can cover parts of it or stamp it with your username before it sends.
Photos you send in a chat can carry work you don't want passed around — a design, a reference, a finished piece. Before a photo sends, an editor lets you hide parts of it and add your name across it.
Masking
Paint over an area, or drop emoji stickers on top of it, to cover the parts of a photo you don't want seen. Build up as many strokes and stickers as you need, and undo, reset, or cancel while you work.
Watermark
Turn on a repeating watermark of your username stamped across the whole image. You can adjust its size, how faint or bold it is, where it sits, and how tightly the rows pack together.
When the editor opens
The editor opens after you pick or take a photo inside a conversation. Whatever you mask or stamp is baked into the image — the version the other person receives is the edited one, not the original.
Frequently asked questions
- Does the other person get the original photo or the edited one?
The edited one. Your masking and watermark are part of the image they receive.
- Can I undo a change before sending?
Yes. While editing you can undo your last change, reset everything, or cancel out without sending.
