the problem

The internet does not remember who was first.

01

Copies outrun credit.

A photo can travel through [STAT_PLACEHOLDER] reposts before anyone names the person who published it. The file moves. The name stays behind.

02

AI learns from unlicensed work.

[STAT_PLACEHOLDER] of the images inside popular training sets were scraped without a record of consent. A derivative can be everywhere before you have seen it once.

03

After the fact is too late.

When it is your word against a repost, a screenshot proves nothing. Proof of priority has to exist before the copy does.

how it works

Three acts. One permanent record.

act 01 · protect

Sign it before the world sees it.

The moment you protect a photo, Priorframe seals its cryptographic hash, a perceptual fingerprint, and a timestamp into a registry record. Written before you post, so first is a fact, not an argument.

act 02 · watch

We scan the web for your work.

New work is scanned right away, pinned work is watched closely week by week, and the rest of your library is covered in rotation. Perceptual matching catches the reposts, crops, filters, and AI derivatives that ordinary reverse search misses.

act 03 · prove

A public record anyone can check.

Every protected photo gets a verify page: what was signed and registered, and when. Most platforms strip embedded credentials on upload, but your verify link keeps working, and the fingerprint registry re-identifies your photo even after the credential is stripped.

alert anatomy

When a copy surfaces, you know first.

One alert holds everything you need: the original, the copy, the score, and the letter ready to send.

manifesto

A photograph used to be its own proof. We can make that true again.

We are building the boring, sturdy thing the internet skipped: a registry. A quiet, permanent place where a photograph’s first appearance is written down.

questions

Asked and answered.

What does signing a photo actually do?

Signing computes your photo’s cryptographic hash, its perceptual fingerprint, and an embedding, then seals them with a timestamp in the Priorframe registry. Your file is not changed in any way. The record proves this exact image, looking exactly this way, was in your hands at that moment.

Can Priorframe really detect AI copies?

Sometimes, and we are honest about the limits. Embedding matching flags derivatives that stay close to your composition or subject, each with a similarity score. It is a probabilistic signal, not a verdict, and strongly transformed work can escape it. Nobody can honestly promise otherwise, so we do not.

Is this the same as registering copyright?

No. In most countries you own copyright automatically when you create a work. Priorframe gives you evidence of priority: an independent, timestamped record that you published first. Formal registration, where it exists, still matters for certain legal remedies. The two work well together.

Does matching survive crops, filters, and screenshots?

That is exactly what perceptual fingerprints are for. Crops, mirrors, filters, re-encodes, and screenshots usually still match. Heavy transformations reduce confidence, and the similarity score tells you honestly how strong each match is.

How do takedown letters work?

When a match is confirmed, Priorframe drafts a letter from your registry record, ready for the platform where the copy appeared. You review it and you send it. The letters are self-help templates, not legal advice, and Priorframe is not a law firm. For serious disputes, bring the record to a lawyer.

Do you sell my data or train AI on my photos?

No and no. Your uploads are processed only to provide the service: signing, matching, and verify pages. We do not sell personal data, and we do not use your photos to train generative models. The privacy policy spells this out.
