For Photographers
Your photographs are everywhere. Your name isn't.
Every photographer knows the feeling. You find your image on someone else's site, in an ad, on a product - no credit, no permission, no trace back to you. The photo did its job. You didn't.
It happens because images travel without identity. A JPEG is just pixels. When it's downloaded, shared, or scraped, the context goes with it - who shot it, where, under what rights, what it's for. Social platforms strip metadata automatically. Stock sites control the attribution layer. And AI training systems consume images at scale with no mechanism to respect or even read creator intent.
The result: your library of work - years of shooting, editing, and building a visual language - is largely invisible to the systems that now decide what gets seen, licensed, and credited.
How VISID helps
VISID embeds your identity directly into the image file before it leaves your hands. Name, copyright, rights, AI training permissions - written into the file itself using open standards, not a platform's database that you don't control.
For portfolio work, that means every image carries a record of origin. For stock contributors, it means consistent, AI-generated metadata across hundreds of images - titles, descriptions, and keywords tuned for discoverability at scale. For commercial photographers, it means client deliverables that carry your studio's attribution permanently, regardless of where they end up.
And with the VISID public verify record, anyone who encounters your image can follow a link embedded in the file directly to a permanent record of authorship - no software required.
