Architecture & design studios

Share unreleased renders with confidence. Trace a leak to the copy it most likely came from.

Renders, competition boards, concept packs and tender drawings pass through clients, consultants, contractors and juries long before a reveal. ExactMark gives each of them a copy that is quietly theirs, so when an image turns up on social media or a competitor's desk you can say which copy it most likely came from, and back it with an evidence report.


Every render, one copy per reviewer

Upload the image or PDF once and download a unique recipient-linked copy for each client, consultant, contractor or juror. Up to 100 recipients per CSV import.

Nothing you can see added to the work

The spatial signal is low-opacity and covert by default. Your render, your colour grading, your typography. A visible mode exists if you prefer it.

Attribution, or an honest inconclusive

Evidence Lab returns the most likely source with a confidence score and ranked candidates, or says clearly that it cannot tell.


The leak

The render was for the client's board. It was on a social feed before the planning committee saw it.

Studios cannot work without sharing. A competition entry goes to the jury and the organiser. A concept pack goes to the client, their board and their PR agency. Tender drawings go to every bidding contractor. A single hero render can be in forty inboxes a month before anyone is supposed to see it.

The leak is rarely malicious and always costly: a screenshot forwarded to a friend, a phone photo of a competition board, a PDF passed to a rival bidder. The reveal is spoiled, the client is embarrassed, and every recipient received exactly the same file, so there is nothing to point to.

What ExactMark changes

Imprint gives each recipient a copy carrying its own spatial signal. When an image surfaces, an authorised team member uploads it to Evidence Lab and gets the most likely source with a confidence score and ranked candidates, or an inconclusive result. It does not stop a screenshot. It means the conversation afterwards is with one person, backed by a PDF evidence report, instead of an awkward email to everyone.


How it works

Three steps between export and evidence

  1. 01

    Export as you always do

    Render to PNG, JPG or WEBP, or export the concept pack and drawing set as PDF. Upload it to Imprint. PDFs keep their original content and text, so dimensions and annotations stay exactly as issued.

  2. 02

    Name each reviewer

    Add the client, each consultant, every contractor at tender, or the whole jury, manually or from a CSV of up to 100 recipients. Download each recipient copy individually or the full set as a ZIP.

  3. 03

    Investigate when an image surfaces

    Upload the leaked screenshot, photo or PDF to Evidence Lab, or forward it to your Web App's private evidence email address. Review ranked candidates, add notes to the case, and download the branded PDF evidence report.


Capabilities

What a studio gets in the workspace

01

ExactMark Imprint

Recipient-linked copies of PNG, JPG, WEBP and PDF files. Each copy carries the spatial signal plus signed, non-identifying file metadata and an opaque filename reference.

02

Evidence Lab

Normalises the submitted image and searches across crop position, continuous scale, small rotation, colour, brightness and compression before correlating against candidate copies.

03

Survives real-world handling

Screenshots at different resolutions, browser zoom and OS scaling, crops, resizing up or down, JPEG and messaging-app recompression, small rotations.

04

Evidence by email

Forward a suspicious image to your Web App's private evidence address and a case opens, with workflow state, notes and the original asset kept together.

05

Roles for a studio

Owner, Admin, Developer, Analyst and Viewer roles with invitations and per-Web-App access, so a project lead can run Imprint while a director reviews evidence.

06

Hosted in the EU, encrypted

Hosted in Dublin with Supabase in Ireland. Forensic data is encrypted at the application level with AES-256-GCM, and only the evidence files you submit are ever received.

Run a client portal or a project extranet? Web Sessions adds one script tag, <script src="https://exactmark.com/script.js">, and an exactmark.identify(...) call so signed-in views carry a session-specific signal as well. The SDK never captures or records the page.


Questions

What studios ask before they start

Does ExactMark stop a client screenshotting the render?
No. Nothing reliably prevents a screenshot or a photo of a screen, and ExactMark does not claim to. It tells you which recipient copy a leaked image most likely came from, and reviewers who know copies are linked to them are more careful.
Will it change how the render looks?
Not visibly. The signal is low-opacity and covert by default. If you would rather reviewers see that an image is marked, a visible mode and a combined mode are available.
Can we keep client names out of the platform?
Yes. Recipients can be pseudonymised, and the mapping between Copy 03 and a real person can stay in your own project records.
What if the result is inconclusive?
Evidence Lab says so rather than naming a weak candidate. The case, notes and original asset are retained, and Recovery+ is an optional human-led investigation for evidence the detector could not resolve.
What does ExactMark receive from us?
Only the files you upload to Imprint and the evidence files you submit. Everything is hosted in Dublin in the EU, with application-level AES-256-GCM encryption of forensic data.

The reveal should be yours.

Sign up, upload the render, and give every reviewer a copy that is quietly theirs.
