Watermarks on Wall Art

knightlyattire — Fri, 31 Mar 2023 02:43:39 GMT

Hi, I recently joined zazzle and uploaded some Illustration art, followed instructions under advanced settings, and enabled watermark feature on preview images. Unfortunately this feature only works on phone previews. On the desktop preview, anyone can do a screenprint on the large image without watermarks and upscale it and sell it elsewhere. Why give us the watermark enable option that only works on smartphones? Why not implement this on both platforms? With so many POD sites, stealing other people's image work is growing by the day. I hope Zazzle can implement this to protect all artists. Thanks!

Above images are from the same resolution screen. So clearly its not implemented on Wall Art previews. Hope developers can look in to this and enable watermarks (at least an option to enable on Wall Arts.) All other POD sites are protecting artists wall arts from image theft. Why not Zazzle?

It appears watermarks are only effective on Zazzle's phone app interface, not on desktop (windows OS) environment. You would think developers would roll this out to all platforms? Unfortunately this has been discussed before, It will never happen. I see your point on people easily print screening preview images without watermarks. At least you have the option of uploading your art work to other dozen sites and sell them safely.
