Whether you're building a personal portfolio or testing early ideas, you decide what the world sees - and how it's marked. Cliprise gives you full choice over privacy and branding, so every generation serves your creative journey.
What Private Mode Does
When Private Mode = ON
- Generation is visible only to you in your Profile and My Creations
- Hidden from Community feed, Explore grid, and Social board
- File still generates via CDN (signed URL), but not publicly indexed
- Ideal for: client projects, drafts, experiments, or personal content you're not ready to share
When Private Mode = OFF
- Your creation is eligible for Community showcase and featured sections
- Others can like, comment, or remix (if remix is enabled)
- Great for: social exposure, portfolio building, and referral rewards
- Your work can inspire others and attract followers
Important Note
Private Mode only affects visibility inside Cliprise, not file ownership - you remain the creator either way. Your content, your control, always.
Why It Matters for Creators
Stay Private Until Ready
Test lighting, framing, or animation variations without publishing. Iterate fearlessly.
Protect Client Work
Keep NDA projects and commissioned work off public feeds. Privacy means professionalism.
Avoid Duplicate Ideas
Hide work-in-progress concepts before launch. Maintain competitive edge.
Control Your Brand Presence
Publish only finished art that represents your vision. Curate what defines you.
"Privacy isn't about hiding - it's about choosing when to shine."
Understanding Watermarks
Watermarks protect your authorship and promote Cliprise credibility. Here's how they work:
Purpose
The Cliprise watermark identifies authentic AI craft and traces back to your profile. It's subtle branding that works for you.
Automatic on Free Plan
All public creations include a small Cliprise logo. Think of it as your signature and discovery tool.
Optional on Pro Plans
Toggle watermark on/off per project. Full creative control over final presentation.
In Private Mode
Watermark can be disabled by default for clean renders, client deliveries, or internal reviews.
Referral Advantage
Keep the watermark when sharing on social media - it includes your unique referral code. When viewers click through and sign up, you earn rewards.
"The Cliprise mark is your signature of authentic AI craft - and your ticket to referral rewards when others click it."
Toggling Privacy and Watermark in the App
Control visibility and branding in three simple steps:
1️⃣ When previewing a generation, tap the "⋯ More" menu
2️⃣ Toggle Private Mode → ON/OFF
Choose whether this creation appears in Community feeds
3️⃣ Toggle Cliprise Watermark → ON/OFF (if your plan allows)
Decide whether to display the Cliprise logo
Visual hint: Both toggles sit above the "Publish to Community" button in the FlutterFlow layout. Easy access, instant control.
Privacy vs Ownership Clarification
Let's clear up any confusion about what you own and what privacy means:
All Assets You Generate Remain Yours
Private Mode does not transfer rights or restrict downloads. You created it, you own it.
Watermark Removal Doesn't Affect Copyright
Removing the Cliprise logo on Pro plans has zero impact on your ownership. It's purely aesthetic.
Secure Storage
We store private files securely through tokenized CDN links (valid for 15 minutes each). Your content is protected, not exposed.
Privacy = Visibility Control
Private Mode simply controls who can see your work in the app. It doesn't delete, transfer, or limit your rights in any way.
Example Use Cases

Common Misunderstandings
| Misconception | Reality |
|---|---|
| ❌ "Private means deleted." | ✅ No, it's just hidden from public feeds. You can access it anytime. |
| ❌ "Removing watermark loses copyright." | ✅ Ownership always remains with you, watermark or not. |
| ❌ "Public mode exposes private info." | ✅ No, only media you choose to share is visible. No metadata leaks. |
| ❌ "Private files aren't secure." | ✅ All files use encrypted, tokenized URLs with expiry protection. |
Security Details (for transparency)
We take your content security seriously. Here's what happens behind the scenes:
Signed CDN URLs with 15-minute expiry tokens
Every file access generates a fresh, time-limited signature. Old links expire automatically.
Direct hotlinking blocked outside Cliprise domains
Your media can't be embedded or scraped from external sites without authorization.
Encryption in transit and at rest
All uploads, downloads, and storage use industry-standard encryption protocols.
No permanent public URLs for private content
Private generations never receive static, shareable links that could leak.
