TikTok Shop: Image contains watermark
Image rejected: watermark detectedWhat's happening
TikTok Shop rejects images with watermarks, brand logos overlaid as decoration, or text covering more than ~10% of the frame. The rule is enforced more strictly than Meta's. Listing tier drops to "Poor" and ad delivery is suspended.
