ImageRights chases compensation after your image has already been used without permission. Obsydian protects it before it ever leaves your hands.
ImageRights is a rights-enforcement service for professional photographers and photo agencies, built around three services: Discovery (web-wide scanning for unauthorized image use), Recovery (negotiating compensation or licensing for infringements found), and Copyright (streamlined U.S. Copyright Office registration). It also offers a Lightroom integration and SmartFrame embed technology. No pricing — commission rates, subscription fees, or plan tiers — is published anywhere on the site.
We're biased — but honest.
ImageRights, like Pixsy and Copytrack, is entirely reactive: it finds and pursues compensation after an image has already been used without permission. Obsydian works before that point — every image gets watermarked and stripped of EXIF/GPS at the moment you post it, so there's less exposure to begin with and a leak carries a trace back to whoever shared it. ImageRights is also aimed at professional photographers protecting a stock/licensing catalogue, a different job to a creator protecting their own subscriber-facing content.
