How to Protect Your Content From Leaks
Proactive measures to reduce the risk of your content being leaked. Watermarking, metadata, and more.
The Hard Truth
If someone wants to leak your content badly enough, they will. But you can make it harder and less appealing for casual leakers.
1. Watermark Your Content
Add visible watermarks to photos and videos. Tips:
- Place watermarks where they can't be easily cropped
- Use semi-transparent watermarks over skin
- Consider dynamic watermarks showing the buyer's username
- Don't rely solely on corner watermarks — too easy to remove
2. Limit Screenshots & Screen Recording
Some platforms offer screenshot protection. Use it when available. For PPV and DMs, consider sending content that's harder to capture.
3. Vet Your Subscribers
Be cautious with:
- New accounts with no profile
- Accounts that immediately buy all PPV
- Suspicious payment patterns
- Users asking for content bundles
4. Monitor Regularly
Set up Google Alerts and check leak sites monthly. The faster you find leaks, the less they spread.
5. Consider Lower-Resolution Previews
Some creators send lower-resolution previews in DMs and reserve full quality for trusted long-term subscribers.
