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.

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 we're a flat €5 per scan instead of a cut of what you recover.

Credits cost €1 each and never expire. A scan uses 5 credits at Standard tier (so €5 per scan), and the scan rate automatically drops as you climb loyalty levels. Down to €2,50 per scan at Platinum. Top up your account whenever.

Yes. Turn any image into a monitoring watch and we'll re-scan on the cadence you pick: daily, weekly, monthly, or custom. 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.

You move up a tier by using a minimum number of credits per month for a set number of consecutive months (e.g. Bronze = 100 credits/mo for 2 months in a row). 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.

Not yet. We don't currently offer automatic integrations or RSS sync. You can 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.

Google finds a fraction of matches, ignores crops and filters, and gives you no evidence trail. We also scan marketplaces, POD stores, and private feeds that Google doesn't index, where most unauthorized commercial use actually happens, and package every match into a send-ready PDF.

The confirmation email arrives within seconds. Click the link to start the scan. Most scans complete in under 5 minutes. We email the match list when it's done; no need to keep the tab open.

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.

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. One flat price from €5 per scan, 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 find where your work is being used. No subscription required, you pay per scan from €5, and your first scan is free.

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.

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.

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.
