THE PROBLEM

Images spread. Proof doesn't.

Visual content travels instantly across platforms. Proving who created it first is hard — until now.

📸

Copies spread fast

An original image can appear on dozens of platforms within hours — often without attribution.

❓

Provenance is invisible

There is no standard way to verify when an image was created or where it first appeared online.

⚖️

Disputes are costly

Without verifiable proof of originality, copyright disputes are difficult and expensive to resolve.

Scan. Check. Certify.

FAQ

Common questions

Does SBIX upload my file? ▾
The local fingerprint preview runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded. The Scan service uploads the image to search the index. SBIX stores visual fingerprints for search indexing. Your original image is not retained. See our Privacy Policy.
Is Scan a certificate? ▾
No. Scan returns a similarity signal only — not a legal determination or certificate. Only Certify issues court-ready proof packs.
What is Check? ▾
Check is a professional analysis tool ($29/month). It reveals the full match list, source platforms, first-indexed dates, and gives API access for automated workflows.
What is Certify? ▾
Certify issues a court-ready Evidence Pack per file ($49/proof) including an eIDAS-qualified RFC-3161 timestamp and blockchain anchors. Legal effects depend on jurisdiction — consult counsel.
How is SBIX different from TinEye or Google Images? ▾
TinEye and Google show you where an image appears. SBIX tracks when it first appeared and helps you establish a verifiable record of originality — with an evidence pack for legal use.
