    Find out where your pictures have been copied: repost boards, wallpaper sites, even shops selling prints of them. A Pixel Sentinel patrol searches Google's and TinEye's image indexes for the pictures you choose and reports every copy, with links, how alike it is to your original, where it's hosted and when it was first seen.

    Also covered: likely copies (cropped or edited), the takedown notice we write for each copy, "Not a copy", the CSV export, and what a patrol can't find.

    Each picture searched counts as one patrol. The free trial includes 2, and every plan adds more each month (Lite 3, Starter 10, Studio 25, Business 80).

    Transcript

    0:03 Where copies turn up

    Pictures get copied to places you never agreed to: repost boards, wallpaper sites, even print shops selling them. A patrol searches the image indexes of Google and TinEye for your pictures, and tells you where each copy is.

    0:18 Pick your pictures

    In your dashboard, open the Images tab, and tick the pictures you want to look for.

    0:25 Start a patrol

    To search, we send a reduced copy of each real picture to those services. It's the one time a real image leaves our servers unprotected, so we ask you every time. Tick the box, and click Start a patrol.

    0:39 How patrols are counted

    Each picture you search counts as one patrol. The free trial includes two, and every plan adds more each month. A patrol takes a few minutes, and we email you when the report is ready.

    0:51 Read the report

    The report lists every copy, with links to the page and to the file, how alike it is to your original, which service found it, and when it was first seen.

    1:01 Likely copies

    A copy that has been cropped or edited is marked as a likely or possible copy, so you can take a look yourself.

    1:09 Takedown notice

    For each copy, Takedown notice writes the notice to send to that site, and tells you where to send it.

    1:15 Not a copy and CSV

    Not a copy hides a search result that isn't your picture, and CSV downloads the whole report as a spreadsheet.

    1:23 What patrols can't find

    Patrols find what those services have indexed. A copy posted recently, or behind a sign-in, may not show up yet, so it's worth patrolling your most valuable pictures every few months.
