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 compares accessible matching images with your upload, including useful crops where possible. Heavy edits and screenshot borders can still make a match harder.
Completed searches save a resized image and report at an unlisted public link so you can reopen or share the result. Anyone with the link can view it. Uploads are 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. Use the feedback page to send public source links and explain the correction. This version does not provide account-based artist claims.
A search can take up to about a minute while it checks public sources and profiles. Progress stays visible until the report is ready.
