How Much Could a Copyright Claim Cost You?
One unlicensed image can lead to thousands in damages. Calculate your risk exposure.
Real Copyright Claim Costs
PixGuard costs less than a single stock photo license and protects your entire site.
Why this exists
Built by someone who got tired of demand letters.
Getty, Shutterstock, and agencies scrape the entire web looking for unlicensed copies of their photos. When they find one on your site, you get a letter demanding $1,400 or more. Most site owners have no idea their site even contains copyrighted images. Stock photos get reused. AI tools ship hidden watermarks. Old contractors leave behind unlicensed assets.
Existing tools find exact copies or check text plagiarism. Nothing actually scored the copyright risk of an image. So I built PixGuard. It runs each image through a 9-stage pipeline and gives you a single risk score, so you can remove, replace, or license before the letter arrives.
