Your images are on sites that never paid for them. Find them, and get paid.
IP Reclaim searches the web for copies of your catalogue, proves each one with a dated photograph of the page, and turns it into a licence fee — the letter, the evidence, the payment page and the follow-up included.

From a folder of files to a paid licence
- Upload your catalogueOne zip, as large as it needs to be — photographs and illustrations, vector files included. Each file is reduced to a fingerprint; your originals stay private.
- We search, continuouslyA crawl of the web is compared with your fingerprints every hour. A copy is still a match when it has been resized, recompressed, mirrored or rotated.
- Every match is checkedA browser opens the page and photographs it. Matches that are not worth a letter — your own sites, a marketplace you sell through, a thumbnail nobody can see — are set aside.
- You say yes or noBoth pictures side by side, one key to answer. Nothing is sent to anybody until you have approved it.
- The letter, and the paymentThe site owner gets your letter with a PDF of the evidence and a page where they can show their licence, buy one, or write back. Replies land on the case.
What you get
- Evidence that stands on its ownThe page address, the image address, the dates, and a photograph of the page as it was — kept even after the site changes.
- One case per siteA shop that used one picture usually used four. They are one case and one letter, not a dozen.
- Your prices, your wordingSet the early and the standard price, the two deadlines, the letter's text and the signature. Templates for the follow-ups too.
- Payment built inCard, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay on a hosted page. A payment closes the case by itself.
- An inbox that files itselfAn answer to a letter finds its case: by the address it was sent to, the thread, or the case number in the subject.
- Ignore what should be ignoredLicensed partners, your own domains, files you no longer enforce — switched off once, and never raised again.
Questions
Does anything go out without me?
No. A match becomes a letter only after you have looked at both pictures and approved it, and you can take an answer back.
What does the site owner see?
A plain letter naming you as the rights holder, with a link to a case page: your image beside the photograph of their page, the dates, the price and three ways to answer. It is written to be read by somebody who may well hold a licence.
What about sites that are allowed to use my work?
Name them once — your own domains, your distributors, a marketplace — and matches there are closed before anyone looks at them. The panel also suggests sites whose claims you keep dismissing.
How large can a catalogue be?
The search is built for catalogues of millions of files, and a single upload can carry all of them.
Can several people work on one account?
Yes. An account has an owner, members, and read-only users for those who should see the cases without deciding them.
