What is a Shot on Sony Watermark?
A "shot on Sony" watermark is a thin bar at the bottom of your photo that displays the Sony logo along with camera model and shooting settings. It is widely used by Sony Alpha shooters on photography forums, Instagram reels, and YouTube thumbnails.
SHOTON creates this watermark in your browser. The photo never leaves your device.

Sony EXIF and Why It Sometimes Looks Different
Sony camera bodies write EXIF data cleanly, but third-party lens adapters can leave aperture blank or write unusual shutter speed formats. If that happens, open the EXIF editor and type the correct values. You can also set any focal length regardless of what the adapter reported.
Privacy
SHOTON processes images entirely client-side. Nothing is sent to a server. Sony camera bodies also embed GPS data in some configurations — SHOTON reads GPS data if present but does not display it in the watermark bar unless you add it manually.
