Image theft protection and alerts for every photo you own

Images are the most stolen asset online: because stealing them works

Right-click, save, re-upload: image theft takes four seconds and usually goes unnoticed forever. The uses are rarely harmless. Scam stores build entire catalogues from stolen product photography: your investment in lighting, styling and shooting becomes their storefront, and their defrauded customers become your reputation problem. Competitors lift your visuals to sell against you. Photographers and creators find licensed work republished unlicensed, eroding the market for the real thing, and stolen personal photos power fake profiles, romance scams and impersonation, where the face being borrowed is yours.

Discovery is the choke point. Stolen images don't notify you; they sit on sites you'll never visit, earning for someone else. Most victims find out by accident (a friend's screenshot, a customer's confused email) months or years in. By then the thief has often out-ranked the owner for their own image.

Reverse-image detection that watches, and alerts worth reading

We fingerprint the images you care about (product lines, portfolios, headshots, personal photos) and our detection systems continuously reverse-search them across websites, marketplaces and social platforms. The matching is built for how theft actually looks: cropped, mirrored, filtered, watermark scrubbed, text slapped on top. When a match surfaces, an analyst reviews it before it reaches you, filtering out your own authorised uses, press coverage and licensed placements. So an alert from us means something real was found, not another notification to learn to ignore.

Each alert arrives with context and a recommendation: what the use is, why it matters or doesn't, and which removal ground fits. Some clients want to approve each action; most tell us to file on sight and read about it in the monthly report. Either way, the decision load on you stays near zero, which is the point of paying someone to watch.

Coverage grows with you. New product launches, fresh shoots and updated headshots get fingerprinted as they're released, so the watch always reflects your current library rather than a snapshot from onboarding. Clients typically send us new imagery the day it goes live, the earliest a photo can be protected is the day before it becomes worth stealing.

From alert to takedown, at whatever scale the theft demands

Images carry unusually strong removal grounds. You own the copyright in photos you took or commissioned, platforms prohibit impersonation and misleading imagery, and misused personal photos add privacy grounds on top. Our specialists pick the strongest ground per target and file with the platform, the site's host and image search together, so removed doesn't just mean gone from one page. It means gone from the search results that made the theft profitable. High-volume cases, like a product catalogue scraped across dozens of storefronts, get batch-filed and worked as a docket, with every URL tracked to an outcome.

Thieves re-upload, which is why protection beats cleanup: under a Protection Plan the fingerprint watch keeps running, and a re-appearance of a removed image triggers refiling while it's hours old. Begin with the free Exposure Scan. We'll run your key images through the detection stack and show you on a call exactly where they're being used, what we'd file, and what an ongoing watch would cover. Most people are surprised by what four seconds of right-click theft has grown into. Better to be surprised on a free call.
