Pixsy is an online platform for creatives and image owners to find where and how their images appear online. Its reverse image search and AI monitoring look for matches around the clock and email alerts when they find new ones. Users can group matches by country, category, commerciality, and other criteria, then filter results. Pixsy handles submitted cases through post-licensing and negotiation, and may pursue litigation with local legal partners; its stated service fee is 50% on successful cases. The company says its takedown notices cover more than 35 countries and 14 languages. Image sources can be synced from services including Flickr, SmugMug, PhotoShelter, Instagram, FTP, AWS S3, and its API, or users can upload from Google Drive, Dropbox, or a computer. Free includes 500 monitored images, limited import sources, no takedown notices, and unlimited case submission. Personal costs 19.00 USD per month and includes 2,000 monitored images and 20 monthly takedown notices. Pixsy describes itself as a software and image licensing company, not a law firm, and says it uses local legal professionals when needed.
