ShutterGuard AI

ShutterGuard AI embeds invisible, forensic watermarks in photos that survive compression and edits, enabling automated copyright enforcement across the web. It specifically prevents images from being scraped for AI training and detects unauthorized use in manipulated versions, giving photographers peace of mind to share their work.

Key Features
  • Invisible watermarking that resists cropping, resizing, and filters
  • Continuous web scraping monitoring for unauthorized image usage
  • Automated takedown notices and DMCA filing
  • AI training dataset exclusion alerts and opt-out integration
Target Users: Professional and aspiring photographers who share high-quality images online and want to prevent theft, AI scraping, and unauthorized commercial use.
Revenue Model: Freemium: free tier for limited monitoring; paid subscription ($15/month) for unlimited scans, proactive alerts, and automated enforcement
