Web Watch
Monitor where your images appear online. Upload your photos and StudioFlows scans the web for matches — helping you find unauthorized use or track where your work is shared.
Overview
Web Watch helps you:
- Find unauthorized use of your photos online
- Track where clients or publications share your work
- Request credit or take action on infringements
- Find contact information for site owners
- Get notified when new matches are found
Adding Images to Track
Supported Formats
| Format | Max Size |
|---|---|
| JPG / JPEG | 500KB |

You can track up to 100 images at a time.
How to Add Images
You can add images two ways:
- Upload files: Click Add Images or drag and drop files
- Track by URL: Paste a direct image URL to track an image already hosted online
Go to Web Watch → Tracked Images in the sidebar to manage your tracked images. New images will be included in the next automatic scan.

Understanding Results
Each match shows where your image was found, with a status you can update:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| New | First time this match was found — needs your review |
| Known | Previously seen and acknowledged |
| Authorized | You've approved this usage (e.g., a client's website) |
| Requested Credit | You've contacted the site owner to request attribution |
| Ignored | False positive or not relevant |
| Dismissed | Removed from active monitoring |
Contact Finder
When you find unauthorized use, the Contact Finder helps you reach site owners:
- Looks up contact information for the website where your image was found
- 10 lookups per month
- Returns email addresses, contact forms, and social profiles when available
Compose Email
After finding a contact, use the Compose Email feature to send a message directly from the dashboard. Templates are available for common scenarios:
- Requesting photo credit/attribution
- Requesting removal of unauthorized use
- Requesting license payment
Authorized Domains
Add domains that are always authorized to use your images. Matches from these domains will automatically be marked as Authorized instead of New.
- Go to Web Watch → Settings
- Add domains under Authorized Domains
- Example:
myclient.com,yourportfolio.com
Notifications
Get notified when new matches are found. Configure in Web Watch → Settings:
- Discord: Notifications sent to a Discord channel via webhook
- Email: Summary emails when new matches are found
- Slack: Notifications sent to a Slack channel via webhook
Exporting Results
Export your scan results for record-keeping or legal purposes:
