The Story

Billions of images are shared online every day, but ownership, credit, licenses, and AI usage rules often disappear as soon as they move. Creators, agencies, publishers, and brands lose time, money, and control trying to prove who owns an image, where it has been used, and what rights apply.
We built Metapyxl to give visual media a trust and rights layer. Metapyxl helps users protect, promote, track, and monetize creative assets by keeping ownership, licensing, provenance, and usage context connected wherever images travel.
With Metapyxl Vault, users can register images, add licensing terms, apply forensic watermarking, and monitor usage. With Metapyxl Lens, people can view creator, rights, provenance, and licensing context when protected images appear online.

AI Overview

AI-generated
The online proliferation of visual media has created a pressing issue for creators, agencies, publishers, and brands: maintaining control over images as they spread across the internet. As images travel, essential information such as ownership, licensing terms, and usage rules often gets lost, leading to significant time and financial losses when trying to establish provenance and enforce rights.

Metapyxl addresses this challenge by providing a comprehensive rights infrastructure for visual media. At its core, the platform ensures that images are protected, tracked, and verified throughout their online journey. What stands out about Metapyxl is its proactive approach to image protection, utilizing a combination of invisible forensic watermarking, metadata, and C2PA/content credentials to preserve ownership and licensing context.

Users can register their images in Metapyxl Vault, where they can add licensing terms and apply forensic watermarking, allowing them to monitor online usage effectively. The platform's Lens feature enables viewers to access creator, rights, provenance, and licensing context when protected images appear online, promoting transparency and facilitating legitimate use. Notably, Metapyxl's watermarks are designed to remain detectable even after common image alterations such as cropping, resizing, and compression, with a high success rate of 99% in tested cases.

The platform's capabilities are geared towards rights holders seeking to safeguard their visual assets while promoting their legitimate use. By maintaining a connected workflow from ownership record to evidence packet, Metapyxl provides a robust solution for managing image rights. Customers, including photography agencies and individual photographers, praise Metapyxl for its innovative features, such as customizable licensing agreements and a user-friendly Chrome extension that streamlines asset tracking. Overall, Metapyxl offers a vital tool for visual media creators to protect and monetize their work in the digital age.
