What it’s for
Photographers, illustrators and designers have to put their work on the web to be found, and the web makes copying that work effortless. Pixel Sentinel is built for them: your real image shows only on the websites you approve, and everyone else, from people saving it to AI crawlers, gets a scrambled copy with your name on it.
We’d rather be useful than oversold, so we publish exactly where the protection stops.
Who runs it
Pixel Sentinel is run by Pixel Sentinel LLC, a company based in the United States, and operated by Dallas Passow.

How it makes money
One way only: customers pay for a plan. That’s the whole business model.
- We don’t sell or rent data, yours or your visitors’.
- We don’t run ads, and we don’t use your images to train AI.
- Payments are handled by Stripe, so we never see your card details.
Where your images live
On Amazon Web Services in the United States (Ohio). Only the scrambled version of each image is stored, and our Privacy Policy lists every company that helps us run the service and what each one does.
What we don’t claim
Pixel Sentinel has no security certifications, isn’t a backup service, and can’t stop a screenshot. It’s strong protection against everyday copying, and it makes leaks traceable. The Acceptable Use Policy says what it shouldn’t be used for.
Keeping you informed
- Service status: whether everything is working right now.
- What’s new: what we’ve changed, as we change it.
- Security: how to report a vulnerability.
