PixGuard
What PixGuard is
PixGuard scans website images and assigns each a copyright risk score from 0 to 100, with reasons for the result. Its checks cover image metadata, stock-agency watermarks, reference fingerprints, possible AI generation, and similarity. Pro and Business plans add AI vision review for ambiguous cases. An account scan follows links across up to 50 pages, subject to the plan’s limit on new images. Visitors can check a page without signing up; that check covers its three largest images. You can also upload JPG, PNG, WebP, or GIF files up to 10 MB. Previously analyzed images can be rescanned free, and images PixGuard cannot analyze are not charged. A WordPress plugin scans Media Library images and supports full-site scans; the Chrome extension scans from an image’s context menu or with Alt+Shift+P and displays a score, severity, and signal breakdown. API access is on Business. Plans include Free, Pro at $29 a month, Business at $79 a month, and a 300.00 USD one-time image pack. PixGuard says it does not permanently store uploaded images, using hashes for caching instead.
