Self-verifying hidden digital media using a novel interactive component that reveals a secondary hidden watermark. One method reveals at least one hidden image into a visible image, may include the steps of generating, via a processor, a first image that is visible on a computing device screen; generating, via a processor, at least one second image, the at least one second image being in an invisible or nearly invisible state to the human eye in a neutral state and visible in a user activated state. In one embodiment, the activated state of the computing device is achieved when the computing device screen is zoomed in or out, pointer scrolled in a predetermined way, or when the first image has its window size changed.
