News and content websites are increasingly targeted by legal teams. GuardPic scans your website thoroughly and professionally, identifies legal risks and blocks critical publishing mistakes involving images that may infringe copyright.
A missing credit or forgotten archive image can expose your business to significant copyright compensation claims. GuardPic provides a smart real-time control layer with early alerts, risk reduction, documentation and monitoring for your website images. Do not leave your media archive unmanaged. Run a smart scan that helps identify violations before a lawyer’s letter reaches your inbox.
Forgot to add a credit? The plugin automatically scans all site media, from featured images and galleries to inline article images and embedded media. It cross-checks the data against approved keywords such as photographer names, Photo or Credit, and against custom rules you define so no image is published without proper attribution.
Editors receive clear real-time warnings before pressing Publish. Higher-risk images can be moved automatically to a controlled quarantine area, with fast restore options and full detailed activity logs.
Need a deeper review? The system can activate advanced cloud scanners based on OCR and artificial intelligence. The smart review can include external comparison against web sources and detailed cloud reports, based on the customer’s selected actions.
In news and content sites, manually checking every image takes valuable time. The plugin fits naturally into the editorial workflow and performs automatic checks in the background, within a fraction of a second and without slowing the team down.
The more writers and editors work on a website, the greater the risk that someone forgets a credit or copies an image by mistake. GuardPic creates a consistent workflow standard and protects the business owner from staff or freelancer mistakes.
Smart media management should also be simple. With one click you can remove risky images, detect complex text inside graphics (OCR) and get a clear overview of image-rights compliance across the entire website.
GuardPic now covers the full editorial workflow: metadata extraction, media-library controls, on-site usage mapping, one-click scans, quarantine, replacement handling and rights-aware JSON-LD.
Automatically reads IPTC, EXIF and XMP fields such as creator, credit line, copyright notice, source and license links.
Adds a GuardPic status column, quick scan buttons, metadata extraction actions and filters for missing-credit or unscanned images.
Shows where each image appears across featured images, article bodies, galleries and attached media.
For risky findings, Pro users can replace the image in the post and featured image slot while preserving credit documentation.
Scheduled email reports summarize scans, findings, quarantines, token use and high-risk media.
Pro adds OCR, visual analysis, AI risk review, live web comparison and trademark indicators through GuardPic Cloud.
This is not just another WordPress plugin. It is a cloud-based protection system. Behind the plugin installed on your WordPress website, GuardPic operates a smart cloud platform that manages dedicated servers, ongoing license updates, advanced algorithmic scans, report generation and regular security updates so your website remains monitored 24/7.
Install the GuardPic plugin on your WordPress website once. Connect the license key you received and easily define the approved credit keywords and site rules.
The system starts working and checks the integrity of your media. Each automatic scan detects missing or incorrect attribution, while your account’s scan-unit balance is updated and deducted automatically according to the action type.
Need a deeper check? Activate AI analysis, OCR text extraction from images and external comparisons against web sources. These actions consume additional scan units from your package.
In the dashboard you can see in real time how many scan units remain in your monthly package. If the balance runs low, you can buy additional scan units in one click without changing your subscription plan.
Every scan action consumes GuardPic tokens, including local credit checks. Monthly subscription tokens reset at each billing cycle and do not roll over. Additional tokens purchased separately remain available while your subscription is active.
