A local plugin ensemble that reports whether an invisible watermark is present in an image. It does not decode a payload and it does not strip a mark.

Do I upload images to this site?

No. The lamp on this page is theatrical. Scores come from the local CLI on your machine.

Does VeilScan remove watermarks?

No. There is no remover. Embed helpers exist only to test the detector.

Is a VeilScan score a copyright ruling?

No. Latent-only marks can miss in pixel space. A score is an instrument reading, not a legal finding.

Presence detector

The veil is in the pixels.

A local ensemble that answers one question: is an invisible watermark present. It does not decode. It does not strip. Your files stay on the bench.

Copy the bench What it answers

This page is a lamp. Scores come from the CLI.

002

Three readings. Never a lift.

PRESENT

A veil showed up.

Spatial, frequency, residual, or a trained head agreed something is hiding in the raster.

ABSENT

No mark on this pass.

The ensemble did not fire. That is a reading, not a promise the file is clean in every latent space.

UNKNOWN

The lamp is honest.

Weak heads stay silent. Missing checkpoints skip. A miss is better than a fake strip.

Complementary specialists

LSB lives in bits. Tree-rings live in frequency. Training one net on both drowns the other. VeilScan keeps them apart, then fuses only the heads that earned a peak.

Lab note

What the lamp will not pretend

LSB and Patchwork can defeat frequency-only nets. That is why spatial heads exist.
Latent-only marks (Gaussian Shading, some Tree-Ring / SynthID cases) are weak in pixel space without inversion or a vendor verifier.
A VeilScan score is not a copyright ruling.
There is no remover. Embed helpers exist only to test the detector.
Scan files you own or are authorized to inspect.

Macro paper fibers under a UV beam, phosphor rings in the grain. — Fiber under the lamp. The mark is a stain in the grain, not a sticker on top.

Quick answers

Do I upload images here?: No. Drop on the lamp is a theatrical preview in this tab. The ensemble runs locally.
Can it strip a watermark?: No. Presence only. There is no strip path on purpose.
Where is the source?: Private local tree. This site is the public lamp, not a GitHub dump.
Who made this?: Jon Bailey / Pitchfork-and-Torch. Peer to Ghost and Trench Coat on the constellation.
