Free Chrome Extension

Check Images for Copyright Risk
Without Leaving the Page

Check images you find on the web for copyright risk signals and get a 0 to 100 risk score with the reasons behind it. The extension connects to your PixGuard account.

Free to install. A free account includes 30 image scans, valid for 30 days. No credit card required.

Check as You Browse

Check images you come across on the web without downloading them and uploading them somewhere else.

Same Checks as Your Account

Copyright metadata, stock-agency watermarks, fingerprint matches and an AI-generation estimate.

A Score With Reasons

A 0 to 100 risk score, a severity band and the signals behind it.

Uses Your Image Scans

Checks use the image scans in your PixGuard account, the same as a scan from the dashboard.

How It Works

Three steps from install to your first check.

1

Install the extension

Add PixGuard to Chrome from the Chrome Web Store.

2

Connect your account

Create a free PixGuard account (30 image scans, no credit card), then connect the extension with an API key from Settings.

3

Check an image

Check an image you find while browsing and see its risk score and the signals behind it.

What It Checks

The same checks as a scan from your PixGuard dashboard.

Watermark text and logos from 7 stock agencies
Tiled watermark patterns
EXIF/IPTC/XMP copyright metadata
Matches against a database of reference image fingerprints
Error level analysis for signs of editing
An estimate of whether the image is AI-generated

Pro and Business add similarity matching for edited or cropped copies, AI vision review of borderline images, and source lookup for high-risk images. A risk score is an estimate, not a legal finding.
