For press & editorial

You licensed it to one outlet. Where else did it run?

Editorial photography is licensed image by image, use by use. But a strong news frame gets syndicated, aggregated and lifted far beyond the licence you granted. Pixel shows you every place it ran — so you can chase the ones you didn't agree to.

Free to start · no credit card · your originals stay in your own cloud.

Licensing leaks everywhere

Syndication you didn't license

A photo licensed to one title reappears across aggregators, blogs and overseas outlets that never paid for it — and you never hear about it.

Every photo, a separate deal

When each image carries its own licence terms, tracking compliance across an entire body of work by hand is impossible.

Proof comes too late

By the time you stumble on an unlicensed use, the trail is cold. Knowing early — with the evidence captured — changes the conversation.

How Pixel watches the wire

1. Connect your filed work

Point Pixel at the folder where your filed and delivered images live — read-only. You choose exactly what it monitors.

2. Pixel tracks every appearance

Each image gets a fingerprint, and Pixel keeps searching the web for where it surfaces — across outlets, aggregators and regions.

3. Match it against your licences

Every find lands in your portal with the source and a timestamp. Confirm the uses that fall outside your licence and gather them in one place.

Why editorial photographers choose Pixel

  • See appearances outside the publications you actually licensed.
  • A documented, timestamped record of where and when each photo ran.
  • Export your matches as CSV to support licensing follow-up.
  • Your originals stay in your archive — only a fingerprint is stored.
  • Transparent, flat pricing — no commission on recoveries.
