InkShield helps creators safely share their work and expand where they earn — delivering personalized, watermarked content across Patreon, Gumroad, and beyond.

Get Started See How It Works

Turn your supporters into trusted partners

You're building something special — exclusive content that rewards your supporters and sustains your creative work. InkShield lets you share boldly while protecting your business, without treating your community like suspects.

Current solutions are broken

  • Manual tracking? Impossible at scale
  • Platform protections? Platforms don't watermark your files
  • Heavy-handed DRM? Alienates supporters and creates friction
  • Honor system? Works until it doesn't

The real problem

You can't trace leaks, you can't prove the source, and you can't protect your work without making supporters feel like criminals.

InkShield changes that.

One vault. Every platform. Complete control.

Upload your content once to InkShield, then distribute securely across Patreon, Gumroad, Ko-fi, and custom links. No more juggling multiple systems or re-uploading files.

Upload once

Set up your content library in one centralized location

Connect all platforms

Unified tracking

Track leaks from any source back to origin

What it integrates with

  • Live Patreon (Live now)
  • Soon Gumroad (Coming soon)
  • Soon Ko-fi (Coming soon)
  • Soon Custom Links (Coming soon)

What it does

  • Creates personalized downloads for each supporter
  • Applies customizable watermarks to your files
  • Tracks distribution via unique fingerprints embedded in files
  • Detects leaked content and traces it back to the source
  • Manages access automatically based on platform memberships

What InkShield does NOT do

  • ❌ Does NOT add DRM or prevent downloads
  • ❌ Does NOT monitor supporters' devices or behavior
  • ❌ Does NOT automatically take down leaked content (you decide the action)
  • ❌ Does NOT replace Patreon/Gumroad (it works alongside them)

Frequently asked questions

Will my supporters know their files are watermarked?

Each file is personalized for the recipient. You control whether watermarks are visible or subtle.

What happens if a supporter shares my content?

InkShield's invisible watermarks allow you to trace any leaked file back to the original download. You'll know exactly who shared it and can take appropriate action.

Do I need technical skills to use this?

No technical skills required. Connect your platforms with OAuth, upload your files, and InkShield handles the rest automatically.

What file types are supported?

Currently supports images (JPG, PNG, GIF). Video, audio, and document support coming soon.

How does platform integration work?

Connect via OAuth to automatically sync your tier and product information. Supporters authenticate through their platform account to access watermarked downloads.

What if I want to cancel?

Cancel anytime from your account settings. Your data remains accessible during your billing period.

Does this replace Patreon/Gumroad?

No. InkShield works alongside your existing platforms. It adds protection and tracking without replacing your payment or community management tools.

What types of content can I protect?

Any digital content you distribute to supporters: manuscript chapters, artwork, music files, video content, art packs, tutorials, and more.
