HOW IT WORKS

Three steps from upload to recovery.

No crawlers to set up. We find it, you send the letter. Flat price. No percentage of what you recover.

STEP 0101

Upload & fingerprint

Drop a single photo, a batch of PNG/JPEG files, or a ZIP of your collection. We fingerprint every image, robust to crops, filters, and watermarks.

golden-hour-NZ-0042.jpg
pHash b6e2…1d3a
STEP 0202

We scan, continuously

Public web pages, marketplaces, print-on-demand stores, blogs and social platforms, continuously indexed by the engines we query. Where a login wall stops us reading the page, we flag it as a lead rather than confirm it. New match → digest email within 24 hours. Export your matches and scans as CSV whenever you need your own records.

STEP 0303

Export a ready-to-send PDF

One click generates a demand-letter PDF for any match: source URL, full-page evidence screenshot, a suggested amount grounded in the BeeldAnoniem 2026 tariff list, and an editable letter in your language. Every letter is cryptographically sealed with an independent timestamp the recipient can verify. You send it. We don't take a cut of what you recover.

Evidence PDF · URL + auto screenshot
match 98%
Editable demand letter
Two hundred matches is a lot to work through, so you do not have to do it in order. Sort commercial pages to the top, or by newest, or by how close the match is. Every match is labelled commercial, editorial or personal, so you can see at a glance what is worth your time. Mark what you have reviewed, and push the wrong ones into a drawer so they stop competing for your attention.
Not sure what to ask for? ImageTrace suggests an amount from the published Stichting BeeldAnoniem 2026 tariff list, with surcharges when attribution is missing or your image was used as a logo, and the letter cites the whole calculation. You can always enter your own number instead.
FROM A MATCH TO MONEY

Finding it is the easy half.

Anyone can turn up a list of URLs. What decides whether you actually get paid is what happens in the three steps after that.

01

We check every match before you see it

ImageTrace opens each page and compares the image on it against yours, so a match in your count is one we confirmed. Pages behind a login are labelled, never passed off as a hit and never quietly dropped.

02

You get a file you can act on

Every location, a screenshot of the page as it looked, and the source URL. A suggested amount grounded in the published Stichting BeeldAnoniem tariff list, with the calculation shown. And a demand letter sealed with a checksum and an independent timestamp, so the content and the date can both be proven later.

03

And it ends in money, not a PDF

Every letter opens a case that you follow to an outcome. Arm a reminder and we nudge you if nobody has answered in two weeks. Record what you were actually paid, separately from what you asked for, so your totals are real numbers.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Honest about what we do, and don't.

We scan the open web for copies of your photos and hand you the evidence: source URL, full-page screenshot, editable demand letter. You keep 100% of whatever you recover. We don’t handle the legal back-and-forth. You decide what to do next: invoice, request takedown, escalate, or nothing.

LOYALTY LEVELS

Stay consistent. Get rewarded.

Your tier is determined by monthly usage across consecutive months. Miss a month below the threshold and you step down one level. So loyalty is literal.

Getting started 4
Most finish within about 5 minutes of confirming your email, no account needed. We'll send you the match summary as soon as it's ready, no need to keep the tab open.
Upload your photo, or a ZIP of several, and ImageTrace compares it against billions of images online, including marketplaces, print-on-demand stores and social media. You get a list of every place it appears, a match percentage and a screenshot as proof, so you can see exactly who is using your work and where. A check costs €1, and €5 in total on the images that actually turn something up, with no commission on what you recover.
ImageTrace is built for photographers, illustrators and media agencies who want to monitor their work online. Whether you manage a single portfolio or thousands of editorial images, you upload individual files or one ZIP and we check where your work is being used. No subscription required. A check costs €1, and you only pay the rest on the images that actually turn something up. New accounts start with 5 credits, so your first checks are on us.
Google finds a fraction of matches, ignores crops and filters, and gives you no evidence trail. We also scan marketplaces, POD stores, and pages Google doesn't index, where most unauthorized commercial use actually happens, and package every match into a send-ready PDF.
How it works 5
Our visual fingerprinting is resistant to cropping, resizing, re-encoding, filters, and most watermarks, including copies cropped down to a detail of the original. You review the list and decide what to act on.
Yes. Turn any image into a monitoring watch and we'll re-scan on the cadence you pick: daily, weekly, every two weeks, or monthly. New matches land in a single daily digest email. Higher loyalty tiers include a free monthly allowance (from 10 at Bronze up to 250 at Platinum); extra cycles use credits at your tier price.
Yes. You can connect a Dropbox folder and ImageTrace keeps an eye on it, so new work is picked up without you uploading anything by hand. You can also upload individual PNG or JPEG files, or a single ZIP with as many photos as you want. We fingerprint each one and scan the web for matches.
ImageTrace has a mobile app, built for triage: your scans in an inbox, swipe through new matches, send a demand letter, and follow your cases through to paid. Scanning, billing and settings stay on the web. It is free with your account, and the product page shows which stores carry it.
Yes. Create a team and invite members by email. Everyone works in one shared workspace with one credit wallet, one archive and one case history. You control per member who can scan, send letters, manage licenses or see billing. There is no separate team plan to buy.
Price 5
Credits cost €1 each and never expire. A check costs 1 credit (€1). It tells you how many copies exist and what kind of sites they are on: marketplaces, social, blogs, news. If there is nothing, that is the whole cost. If there is something, unlocking the full case file costs the rest of the scan price, €5 in total at Standard and less at every loyalty level, down to €2.50 at Platinum. The total for a scan that finds something is exactly what it was before. What changed is that a scan that finds nothing now costs €1 instead of €5.
No. A scan that finds something costs exactly what it did before. What changed is that a scan that finds nothing now costs €1 instead of €5, because you only pay the rest on images that actually turn something up.
You move up a tier by using a minimum number of credits per month for a set number of consecutive months (e.g. Bronze = 50 credits/mo for 1 month). Miss the minimum in any month and you drop back down one level. So it's real loyalty. You earn the discount by consistently using the product, not just by signing up.
Included, in a monthly allowance that grows with your loyalty level: 100 letters a month at Standard, up to 1000 at Platinum. Generating a letter never touches your scan credits, and you can buy an extra pack if you ever need more in one month.
No, and that's deliberate. Competitors take 30–50% of every recovery because they manage the legal back-and-forth. We just find the matches and export a ready-to-send PDF (URL, screenshot, evidence, editable template letter in EN/NL). You send it. That's why a check costs €1 and the full case file €5 in total, however much you recover, instead of a cut of it.
Evidence and outcome 4
Every demand letter bundles the source URL, a full-page screenshot and an optional independent web archive record. The moment the letter is generated we also store a SHA-256 checksum of the exact PDF and request an independent trusted timestamp (RFC 3161) from a public Time Stamping Authority. The letter's footer carries a public verification link anyone can open to confirm the document is genuine and unchanged. We do not claim legal qualifications for this seal; whether evidence is accepted is always up to the court.
It opens with a clear statement of unauthorized use, lists the specific URL, includes a full-page screenshot taken at the moment you generate the letter, and requests removal or licensing, with editable fields for license fees, terms, or a takedown deadline. Standard cease-and-desist phrasing in your language. The dashboard shows you the exact letter before you generate the final PDF, so you always see what gets sent. If your credits or copyright metadata were stripped from the copy, the letter cites that too.
Some recipients remove the image, some license it, and some ignore the request. ImageTrace gives you the evidence packet and letter so you can decide the next step: invoice directly, request takedown, escalate via small claims or your own lawyer, or do nothing. We don't handle escalation, but we keep your case history (URL, dates, letter generated) so your lawyer has everything ready if you decide to go that route. Uses by clients you have registered as licensed are automatically set aside, so your case list stays clean.
ImageTrace can suggest an amount based on the Stichting BeeldAnoniem tariff list (managed by Pictoright), 2026 edition: a base rate per year of use that depends on who used your photo, with surcharges when attribution is missing or your image is used as a logo. The 2026 internet rate for companies and institutions, for example, is € 493 per year. The letter cites the full calculation, you can always enter your own amount instead, and whether compensation is awarded is ultimately up to the parties or a court.
Your data 2
Your photos are uploaded over an encrypted connection to EU-based servers, where we build a perceptual fingerprint of each one. Nothing disappears behind your back: searches you have not touched for 30 days move to your Archive, where everything stays restorable with one click. 30 days after that, the uploaded image itself is permanently deleted from our servers, unless you keep it in your Library or have monitoring running. Monitored images stay encrypted at rest until you cancel. You can delete anything yourself at any time. GDPR-compliant, hosted in the EU.
Your scans stay in your Library. Archiving one does not lose anything: you restore it with one click, and you keep the list of URLs even after the image itself is removed. If the image came from your Library, you can also run a fresh scan from there without uploading again, which costs a scan like any other.
