Share a recording.
Trace a copy.
Upload your recording and assign recipients. Encoding returns a new audio file with its own unique watermark for each recipient. Download, listen back and share those encoded copies.
What you need to decode
The encoded copy, or a small section taken from it. Decode Audio reads its watermark to identify the assigned copy. The original, unwatermarked recording is not required.

The technology behind Protect
Developed in-house.
Refined over six years.
Protect is powered by our own hybrid neural–DDSP model, developed, tested and refined over six years.
Hear original and watermarked recordings, explore the testing, and understand what watermark recovery can tell you.
Listen before you decide.
Compare original and watermarked recordings across three production styles. Switch versions at the same playback position.
Hip-hop
Vocals, bass and a mastered mix.
Electronic
Dense, heavily processed production.
Use headphones or your usual monitoring setup. These examples illustrate specific recordings; they do not guarantee the same result on every source.
Built for processed audio.
Protect has been tested against compression, trimming, resampling, EQ, pitch shifts and time stretching. Recovery depends on the recording and processing applied.

Compare Protect pricingCommon questions
Will a watermark survive audio processing?
Protect has been tested against compression, trimming, resampling, EQ, pitch shifting and time stretching. Recovery depends on the recording and the extent of processing. A successful test does not guarantee recovery from every altered file.
Do I need the original audio to trace a copy?
You do not need the original, unwatermarked recording. You do need the encoded copy, or a small section taken from it. Protect reads the watermark from that audio. A longer, less heavily processed recording generally gives the detector more information.
Does a watermark prove who leaked a recording?
A decoded watermark can link a copy to its assigned recipient. It does not establish who subsequently shared the file, whether an account was compromised, or whether sharing was intentional.
Can I use Protect without a subscription?
Yes. Credit packs are available alongside monthly subscriptions. One credit covers one protected copy for one recipient, or one trace. See the pricing page and current in-app terms.
