When to use Lenso AI
Lenso AI is great for finding where an image appears online. If you are a photographer wanting to discover unauthorized uses of your work, Lenso provides solid visual search results across billions of images it has indexed from public websites.
When to use PixGuard
PixGuard answers a different question. Not “where does this image appear” but “which of my images need a license check first”. It reads copyright metadata, looks for watermark text and logos from major stock agencies, flags signs of editing, estimates whether an image is AI-generated and compares it against a database of reference image fingerprints. The 0 to 100 risk score and the reasons behind it help you decide whether to keep, license, or replace the image.
The use case difference
Lenso AI is the right tool for content owners protecting their assets. PixGuard is built for publishers checking the images they use.
If you run a website, blog, e-commerce store, or marketing agency, you are publishing images, and PixGuard helps you find the ones to investigate. If you create images and want to find where others use them, Lenso is your tool.
