ImageRights Discovery
Boston, Massachusetts, United States
What it is
ImageRights Discovery helps photographers and photo agencies find and review possible unauthorized uses of images. It gives each uploaded image a unique fingerprint, then searches the internet for matching fingerprints. Its proprietary web search and AI analyze, sort, and rank sightings, sending claims considered pursuable to an Inbox for review and organization. The free ImageRights Pilot account starts with searches for the first 100 images; no other Discovery plan prices or limits are stated. Larger collections can use FTP or API access. Image upload and management are described as secure. An Adobe Lightroom plugin uploads images to an ImageRights account and can synchronize image sets and registration status. A Capture One plugin uploads images for Discovery and is offered for Windows and Mac. The service is available through web, macOS, Windows, and API access. ImageRights says its services serve professional photographers and photo agencies worldwide. ImageRights International, Inc. is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts; the company says it was founded in 2008, while the entry also lists 2009. Support is available by phone at +1.617.505.1572 and through a contact form.
