## What it is
A Python library and CLI/GUI tool that embeds invisible blind watermarks into images using discrete wavelet transforms, protecting creators' intellectual property. Watermarks are visually imperceptible and can be extracted with a secret key even after attacks like blurring, cropping, noise, brightness changes, and geometric distortions.

## Use cases
- embed an invisible watermark in my images to prove ownership
- extract a hidden watermark from an image to prove copyright
- protect artwork from being stolen without credit
- recover watermarks from rotated or scaled images
- batch watermark images from the command line

## When to choose
- you are a creator who wants invisible, attack-resistant image watermarks
- you need a free, open-source blind watermarking solution in Python
- you want both CLI and GUI interfaces for watermarking

## When to avoid
- you need a pip-installable package (not yet published to PyPI)
- you need video watermarking support
- you require a publicly verifiable third-party watermark attestation service

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: image-processing, security, cli, gui
- domain: image-processing, security, privacy
- platform: python, cross-platform, cli
- tags: blind-watermark, digital-watermarking, copyright-protection, dwt, steganography, pyqt
