When to use PicDefense

PicDefense focuses on individual image checking with a clean interface. If you want a simple per image lookup workflow without bulk scanning, PicDefense covers the basics well.

When to use PixGuard

PixGuard goes deeper. We catch invisible watermarks via Error Level Analysis, fingerprint match against 600,000 stock images, scan entire websites in bulk, and integrate with WordPress and Chrome. If you manage multiple sites or large image libraries, PixGuard scales better.
