ImageTracker™- The industry standard for image copyright enforcement

Let PicScout® ImageTracker™ help you locate and identify online use of your rights managed work. Used exclusively by leading stock photo agencies and select photographers, ImageTracker has been successfully helping image owners ensure authorized use of their work for almost a decade.

With its proprietary image fingerprinting technology, ImageTracker proactively searches the Internet for images that match selected entries in the PicScout ImageIRC™. ImageTracker identifies matches, even if the images have been cropped, colorized or altered significantly, including watermark removal. The technology is non-intrusive, highly scalable and acts by identifying unique patterns within the images to allow comparison operations. The PicScout technique does not rely on embedded code, so it survives many forms of alterations and can match highly manipulated images to their original sources. After finding your images, ImageTracker creates a screen capture that documents each image use, then sends you regularly scheduled reports. You’ll know exactly who has used your work, where they’ve used it, and if they’ve been authorized to use it.

The industry standard

As the industry standard for image tracking and rights enforcement, ImageTracker successfully identifies hundreds of image rights infringement cases for PicScout clients every day. For image owners, this is incredibly valuable: PicScout data shows that 85% of rights managed images used on commercial websites today are being used non-legitimately.

PicScout offers fee-based and revenue-sharing agreements and can customize its photo search technology to scan specific websites or the entire Internet.
