PicGuard for Sellers

PicGuard is an affordable SaaS tool that automatically scans e-commerce platforms (Etsy, Amazon, Shopify) for stolen product images. When it finds a match, it generates a DMCA takedown notice and files it on your behalf, with one-click reporting to platform support.

One-click DMCA takedown notice generation and submission
Real-time alerts when stolen photos are detected
Case tracking dashboard with history of enforcement actions

Target Users: Small e-commerce sellers on platforms like Etsy, Amazon, and Shopify who create original product photos but lack time/resources for IP enforcement

Revenue Model: Freemium: free tier monitors up to 50 images with manual takedown; Pro tier ($19/month) for unlimited images and automated takedown, plus enterprise plans for agencies
