Why should I use PicDefense?

PicDefense.io is designed to protect your website from potential copyright issues by scanning all of the images on your website and alerting you to any that may be at risk for copyright infringement.

Does this plugin use any third-party services?

Yes, this plugin integrates with the following third-party service:

  • Image Processing Service: This service processes all images uploaded to your WordPress site. It provides feature to replace the high-risk one with, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free replacement.

What data is shared with third-party services?

The plugin shares the following data with the Image Processing Service:

  • Images: All images uploaded to your WordPress site are sent to the third-party service for processing. This includes image metadata such as file name, size, and format.

How is user data protected?

The plugin ensures user data is protected by following these measures:

  • Encryption: All data transmitted between your site and the third-party service is encrypted using SSL.
  • Anonymization: Personal information related to the images is anonymized where possible to protect user privacy.
  • Data Retention: The third-party service retains processed images for a limited time, after which they are deleted from their servers.

What permissions does the plugin require?

The plugin requires the following permissions to function correctly:

  • Upload Files: The plugin needs permission to upload and retrieve images from your WordPress site.
  • Manage Options: The plugin requires access to manage its settings within the WordPress admin panel.

Where can I find the third-party service’s terms and privacy policy?

You can review the terms and privacy policy of the Image Processing Service at the following links:
Terms of Service: Image Processing Service Terms
Privacy Policy: Image Processing Service Privacy Policy

If an Image is not Copyrighted, am I free to use it in any way?

No, not always. Even if a copyright is not immediately apparent, it does not mean the image is free to use without restrictions. There may be other ownership rights that could still put you at risk.

How quickly will I receive my report?

Usually, the report is generated within a few minutes, depending on the number of images involved in your check. Your dashboard will display the current status of your check.

Can PicDefense perform a Reverse Image Search on my images?

Absolutely! Each image that PicDefense.io checks goes through a reverse image search. We provide details such as size dimensions, a list of backlinking websites that contain the image, similarity score, as well as our unique PicRisk Score.

Aren’t the Images I Use “Royalty-Free” – does that mean they’re free to use?

The term “royalty-free” is often misunderstood. It does not mean that an image is free to use without restrictions. Instead, it means that the user does not have to pay a royalty or license fee for each use of the image. However, royalty-free images may still have terms of use, and the user may need to pay a one-time fee to use the image.

What does the ‘Replace Image’ feature do?

Our new feature allows you to replace high-risk images on your WordPress website easily with free stock images from Pexels. After a scan, you will find a ‘Replace Image’ button next to each high-risk image. Upon clicking, a window will pop up, presenting related images from Pexels. You can choose the image you’d like to replace the high-risk one with, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free replacement.

Such a great idea–but I can’t even activate the plugin once it’s downloaded. The connection times out… and times out… and times out. Lovely premise, poor execution.

PicDefense’s WordPress plugin has been an absolute timesaver. As the owner of a WordPress blog and someone who frequently uses third-party content creators, image copyright has always been a major concern. After receiving a copyright demand letter and having to pay a hefty penalty for a single image, I knew I needed to check the rest of my site. I’m just a small blog owner. That’s when I found PicDefense. Its ability to thoroughly scan my website – which hosts thousands and thousands of images – was a game-changer. The task of manually checking each image would have been impossible for me to do, but PicDefense flagged the images that could potentially cause issues. Does it catch everything? Probably not, but nothing can. I can rest easy knowing at least I did my part in scanning my site. The plugin also allows me to whitelist the images I have licenses for, which is a huge timesaver for future scans. I wholeheartedly recommend PicDefense. It’s a must-have for any WordPress owner who wants to manage image copyright compliance more efficiently. A solid 10/10 from me!

I set up this service, purchased credits, and conducted tests. During the testing phase, I uploaded several images to my media that were known to be copyrighted and flagged on other websites. However, the service incorrectly labeled these images as having a ‘low risk’ of copyright infringement. Although the concept is promising, the service’s inability to accurately detect images that should not be published on a site significantly diminishes its value.
