About InkShield
Leak tracing software for Patreon creators
What is InkShield?
InkShield is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that helps Patreon creators protect their exclusive content from unauthorized sharing. Founded in 2025, InkShield uses invisible watermarking technology to fingerprint every download, making leaked files traceable back to the person who shared them.
The platform exists because content leaks are a growing problem for digital creators. When exclusive content ends up on leak sites, creators lose income and motivation. Traditional protections like visible watermarks or DRM either ruin the viewing experience or frustrate legitimate supporters.
InkShield takes a different approach: deterrence through traceability. When supporters know their downloads are personalized, leaks stop before they happen.

Why Leak Tracing Matters
The goal isn't to catch every leaker after the fact. The goal is to stop leaks before they happen. When supporters know their downloads are personalized, they think twice before sharing. Most leakers aren't malicious—they just thought they were anonymous.
