Know where your images are being used online.
Digimarc Search Service constantly crawls the web locating tens of thousands of digitally watermarked photos and images each month. You receive ongoing reports on precisely where your images are being used online so you can follow-up as necessary. Enterprise Edition customers have the ability to pull reports at any time, as well as specify sites to be searched on a regular basis using the Directed Search option.
Whether you make money from selling digital assets or use images in marketing campaigns, confidential documents, product launches and more, it is essential that you know where your images are being used on the web — especially if they are leaked before an official release date or used without your knowledge or consent.
The service helps you to:
- Find your images on the web.
- Ensure you are fairly compensated for the use of your images.
- Monitor that the right images are being used on the right sites at the right time.
- Measure the effectiveness of marketing programs and campaigns.
- Better manage your brand online.

- A list of domains and the number of images found on each Web site. From there, you choose where to prioritize your time.
- Drill down capabilities into specific domains you want to investigate more closely.
- Filtering for high value images to track and manage through specific ID numbers.
- Exporting of all report data to a comma delimited file which can be easily imported into many commonly used reporting applications.
How the application finds new web pages
Our search tool continually updates its web page database by checking frequently visited sites in search of new links. There is a strong correlation between how many links are directed to a page, and its prominence. Therefore, the search tool more frequently visits pages that have numerous associated links. The more popular the website your digitally watermarked images appear on, the faster they will be discovered and tracked.
