YES, as long as they are indexed by search engines. The general technical implications of PIXMO’s image monitoring system is that essentially has access to Google’s data via their API. Therefore, whatever data Google captures is processable by PIXMO.
This also include use cases as your images being used by online sellers (your art made product or competitors distributing your product images or selling your products w
ithout licence) in online marketplace such as Amazon/eBay/Etsy/Shopee/Lazada, etc. That’s because marketplaces like those, like any other regular website, index their listings to leverage Google’s organic traffic.
NOTE: As usual, it’s always best to try it by yourself and your use case. Upon purchase, you have the PIXMO team for doubts/tweaks and our no-risk 60-day money back guarantee 😃
PIXMO’s image monitoring is not a one-time check upon upload. Your images are continuously monitored once you upload them on the platform. With this deal, you receive unlimited monitoring time per month for all your active images, depending on the tier you choose. How you utilize your total active image limit for continuous monitoring (recurring but based on the total number of images), depends on your asset’s nature and intended use, adjusting according to your needs. Please note that you have the flexibility to remove any images that no longer require monitoring (explained on the FAQs).
For example, you might choose to remove images that no longer need monitoring, such as those of a product that is no longer sold in your store. This action would free up space for other relevant images, increasing your total available images for recurring monitoring. Conversely, certain images, like permanent assets including your logo or photographs, may require indefinite monitoring.
Yes, you can. Just remember that PIXMO is designed to be a continuous monitoring system for your digital assets. That’s why there is a 30-day cooling-off period before uploaded files can be deleted. This way we can be sure that the tool is used for its original purpose and not for one-time processing (constant uploading and deleting of files as the norm).
If you’re an agency, you can use PIXMO to offer our monitoring service as an intermediary for your clients. This includes the commercial rights to charge them for it. i.e. “You run a creative agency, you can offer your clients a service for a monthly fee to monitor the work you’ve created for them / marketing agencies offering this service for the images of the websites of their customers even if the haven’t created those, etc”.
The recommended workflow is to create a folder for each of your clients and put all their digital image assets there so you can monitor them more easily. Reporting for agencies is on the roadmap.
As per the takedowns, PIXMO are legally allowed to act on behalf of the image OWNER and/or any REPRESENTATIVE authorized (your agency) to act on behalf.
👋🏽 Hey there SaaSZilla family!
Some of you may already know me but I’m Timothy, and one of two co-founders of Pixmo!
Our team is comprised of myself, our other co-founder Stephen, and 3 amazing developers with a full time customer support rep Justin! And, we are looking already to expand our customer support team and legal teams!
⁉️ Pixmo was created because my co-founder Stephen (who is also a professional photographer) had over $50,000 worth of images stolen on a print-on-demand shop. He had to hire a lawyer, and it got pretty messy.
So we thought- how could this have been prevented or caught earlier? How could we keep track of these images and content without having to search for each one and keep an excel spreadsheet for it? And so Pixmo was born!
But couldn’t you just use google reverse image search? Yeah! You absolutely can but that wouldn’t monitor your images and content 24/7/365 and I’m sure keeping another spreadsheet on your computer is less than ideal. You’d have to update that nearly every week! We save you tons of time and resources by doing the hard work for you. 🤭
🌟 Our team is laser focused on ensuring your digital assets are safe. Billions of dollars are stolen each day from your hard work. You are owed this tool!
So, what are you waiting for? Upload your content and see for yourself if anyone’s using your content without your knowledge. I’m sure you’ll be surprised at what you find! But remember- you have a whole team behind you now. 🥳
Hi Timothy, Pixmo looks great. Thank you for bringing it here.
In the future, will different plans have different features or will all plans have all features just different allowance of usage?
Hey Mh!
Thank you so much! Great question! In short, yes. Generally speaking the larger plans would have features added later that don’t apply to the lower-cost plans. 🙂
Of course we analyze those features and will try our best to include those in smaller plans, too but definitely a case-by-case basis.
Feel free to ping back with anymore questions! Happy to help!
Looks good! Ive seen on the roadmap you’re working on copy monitoring ? Could you expand how the credits will work regarding to tiers in this context ?
Hi there Diane!
Thanks for asking your question! And, I must say, you ask a very difficult question for any company founder haha. The reality is, this feature is still in development, and it’s almost impossible to say that the credits or structure will be until we fully integrate this into our system.
What I can say is that this feature will 100% be included in all plans and the limitations for this (whether it be credit-based, or however the structure will be) will be based off the plans that we have and the LTD users will be of course based off the plan that the deal is matched with. 🙂
It is a bit still too soon, though, to say much here, but you are more than welcome to reach out to us and see if there are any updates to this in the coming months. 🙂 Thank you again for your question and please don’t hesitate to reach out with anymore questions you have!
Best,
Timothy
Will pixmo work for images which we’ve purchased and have commercial rights to, and have built into a training course or other content? I’m asking because we have a lot of custom training content which is shared out to clients, via pdf or other formats with imagary which we’ve used legally and have commercial rights to embedded into our content, so I’m trying to understand if Pixmo can somehow protect unauthorized use of our content that way?
Hey, the only possible way that any image monitoring system has to check your images is if they actually exists on the internet as indexeded images (Google is able to recognize them).
There’s no other technollogical way to make this work.
If the PDF content is directly uploaded to the Internet and those images are somehow indexed yes, they could be detected by the monotoring system.
I hope that clarifies your doubt.
Regards.
To be clear, if the system finds an infringed work like a photograph, Pixmo will actually handle the takedown and legal issues as well? If I understood correctly, that is one of the more powerful sides of the system.
Would love to have this confirmed 🙂
Hello! Thanks for your question!
It’s first important to share that we are not lawyers and we do not take any legal action.
Pixmo does demand takedowns, and demands payment for the infringing copyright. The demand for payment is to sell the offending party a license to use the image. We can also make it where the user must pay for past use of the images AND take it down. Or simply take it down without any monetary value.
Outside of our demand letters, there is nothing we can do- you would have to go after them legally using your own lawyer if you choose to do so. Hope this helps.
Hello
what is rquired to proof that i am the owner of a photo? do you ask for any kind of proof in order to charge somebody ?
Hello!
During a takedown case specifically we ask questions about the photos that are pretty detailed but ultimately we do not ask you to prove you own the images. We do have a proprietary process internally that if we suspect you don’t own the image we can check and cancel the case in that situation but yeah we don’t ask for proof of ownership. Hope this helps!
