Image Copyright Checker

Upload an image and we'll check it for copyright red flags — watermarks, stock photo signatures, brand logos — using AI analysis. Instant results, free for every Rotarian.

What it checks

Six areas we look at

Our AI reviews your image for common copyright red flags so you can publish with confidence.

Watermarks

Visible watermarks from stock libraries or photographers that signal restricted use.

Stock photo signatures

ID numbers, codes, or metadata overlays left by commercial image libraries.

Brand logos & trademarks

Recognisable logos or brand marks that may restrict how the image can be used.

Text overlays

Embedded text, credits, or copyright notices that suggest ownership.

Identifiable people

Faces and recognisable individuals who may need to give consent under GDPR.

Overall risk assessment

How trustworthy the image source is, based on where you got it and your licence status.

How it works

Three simple steps

  • 1. Upload. Choose the image you want to check — JPG, PNG, WebP or GIF, up to 10 MB.
  • 2. Answer. Tell us where the image came from, what you’ll use it for, and whether anyone is identifiable in it.
  • 3. Get your verdict. Our AI analyses the image in seconds and gives you a traffic-light risk rating with specific advice.

Important

This is guidance, not legal advice

This tool uses AI to flag common copyright risks, but it cannot guarantee an image is free of all restrictions. When in doubt, use the official Rotary Brand Centre for approved imagery, or submit your artwork for a human review by the District Public Image team.
