Wacom Yuify Now Available on ibisPaint

Wacom has officially announced the launch of Wacom Yuify, its innovative digital service that allows artists to protect and verify the authorship of their digital artworks. This launch, which will take effect on July 28, 2026, will enable a seamless integration of copyright protection within the popular painting application, ibisPaint, including its variants ibisPaint X and ibisPaint Edu.

The introduction of Wacom Yuify means that artists can now incorporate authorship information directly into their creative workflow. By simply updating to the latest version of ibisPaint, users can utilize the service to retain valuable authorship data throughout their art-making process. Before this, Wacom Yuify was limited to desktop creative tools such as Clip Studio Paint and Adobe Photoshop, primarily supporting Windows and macOS environments.

Enhancing Creative Workflows with Copyright Protection

Wacom Yuify works by embedding invisible watermark data through micromarking technology. This data generates a permanent, verifiable record that helps artists firmly establish ownership and ascertain credibility regarding their digital creations. As a result, it fosters trust in the artistic community by providing a reliable means to assert ownership over digital works.

When integrated with ibisPaint, Wacom Yuify supports the PNG format, and the incorporated information can be checked using the free Yuifinder verification tool that is available in browsers. This provides artists with a solid mechanism to confirm their authorship, thus reinforcing their presence in the art community while protecting their intellectual property.

ibisPaint, boasting over 500 million downloads globally, has become a staple for a vast array of artists who create, illustrate, and share their works across both mobile and desktop environments. The addition of Wacom Yuify enhances this platform, allowing users to seamlessly add authorship metadata as an integral part of their daily creative practices.

Benefits for the Artistic Community

Koji Yano, Wacom's Senior Vice President of Creative Experience Unit, expressed enthusiasm about this development by stating, "As creative activities increasingly occur on mobile devices and social platforms, it is vital that creators have simple ways to verify their authorship in any creative context. By incorporating Wacom Yuify into ibisPaint, we extend our focus beyond desktop tools and make authorship protection more accessible within the creative workflows artists use every day."

Yuka Inoue, section manager at ibis Inc., also welcomed this upgrade, highlighting that it enables digital creators to share their work confidently while demonstrating the authenticity of their creations. By merging Wacom Yuify's invisible digital identification with the diverse creative tools available in ibisPaint, they aim to provide a richer creative experience that allows creators to manage and present their artworks throughout their artistic journey.

As the realm of creative expression continues to flourish in digital communities, the significance of authorship and authenticity remains paramount for both professionals and everyday creators who share their work online. Designed to accommodate artists at all skill levels, Wacom Yuify offers a dependable method for verifying authorship within the tools that creators already love to use.

Through this service, Wacom aims to support artistic creators beyond their creative endeavors, offering assistance as they share, discover, and communicate their work over time.
