Watermarks on PNG exports

I recently moved into a new MacBook and updated Photoshop. I exported some original image files that I created on my own to print onto fabrics. When I checked the images for repeat overlaps, I saw that every new file I uploaded came with a watermark showing my name. Is this a new option in Photoshop that I missed turning off? I hesitate to have fabric printed just to see if the watermarks appear. Does anyone else have this issue?

    Have you reviewed the files immediately after exporting from Photoshop? Any watermarks? If so, how specifically are you exporting out from Photoshop?

     

    You said you are uploading the images. Could the site you are uploading to be adding the watermarks?

      Great questions. I used File > Quick export as PNG. The fabric printing site prefers PNGs. I posted a help request with them to ask whether this is a new feature on their site. I thought it was because my file was closer to a full yard compared to previous uploads. I rebuilt my file again (creating artwork again on a new canvas). The same thing happened. I've combed through preferences to see if there was a watermark option checked.

      Could you please explicitly confirm that Photoshop is adding the watermark and not the website you are uploading to.


      I don't see the watermark when I view my files. I've opened them in Preview and still don't see the files. I uploaded smaller files to the printer's website and didn't see watermarks. I'm thinking this is happening on their side with larger files. I hope I'm correct that there isn't a new hidden preference in photoshop that automatically adds @8967549 to files.
