How SourceTrace works
Most image searches stop at a match. SourceTrace keeps the trail together, so the strongest lead and the evidence behind it stay in the same report.
Drop in an image or public link to find matching copies and useful matches across public sources.
Connect signatures, captions, handles, credits, and linked public profiles around the image.
Review the strongest lead, source links, dates, and corrections before you pass the credit on.
Shop mode
Start with a scene, isolate the item, then compare public product leads. This is the shape of a Shop mode report: source image, focused search, and store context in one readable view.

Frequently asked questions
SourceTrace is an attribution aid built around public evidence, not a definitive authorship authority.
No. It brings together public source leads, dates, handles, and credit links so you can make a better-informed attribution. It is not a legal authorship or copyright decision.
Publicly posted artwork, fan art, illustrations, memes, gaming images, anime art, and screenshots are the best fit. Upload a still JPEG, PNG, WebP, or AVIF image.
SourceTrace searches a normalized working copy and can create temporary screenshot recovery crops when app chrome obscures the artwork. Heavy edits can still make a match harder.
Your upload is used only for the search you requested. It is not added to a training set.
Original posts can be deleted, private, unindexed, or separated from their credit. When the evidence is thin, SourceTrace shows the strongest useful lead instead of inventing an answer.
Yes. Result pages include correction and artist-claim paths so stronger public evidence can be added to the trail.
A first evidence report usually appears within about 10–20 seconds. Deeper source and profile checks can continue in the background.
An artist report can include matching public posts, creator and profile leads, direct source links, dates, repost context, and a readable trail. A shopping report can include product leads, stores, prices, and comparison details.
It checks public, indexable evidence across supported social and media platforms. Coverage depends on what each site exposes and whether the original post is still public.
