Your work has value. Make your AI training choice visible.
Sourcemark gives creators and catalogues a way to fingerprint visual work, put AI training choices on record and signal when work is available to licence, so AI teams can check before training.
Why this matters
Your work can travel further than you intend.
Images, documents and creative files can be copied, cropped, reposted, scraped and collected into AI training workflows. Metadata is often stripped away and platform settings vary.
Once that happens, it can be difficult to find where work has gone, evidence what was declared at the time or raise a challenge before the decision has already been made.
Sourcemark gives you a clearer way to put your AI training choice on record, so AI teams can check the declared status and licence route before training or fine-tuning.
How Sourcemark works
A simple step before or after you publish.
Select the work
Choose the file, image, document or catalogue item you want to register.
Set your AI training choice
Mark it as not available for AI training or available by licence.
Add the licence route
Choose where requests should go: you, your agent, publisher, stock library, CMO or representative.
Create a checkable signal
Sourcemark creates multiple matching signals for your work, including fingerprints and similarity-based signals where supported. These help AI teams check candidate training sets against Sourcemark and route the next action: request a licence, exclude, hold for review or follow their internal process.
Each Sourcemark is timestamped, versioned and cryptographically anchored, creating a tamper-evident record of what was declared and when.
Already using Content Credentials?
Sourcemark is designed to complement them, not replace them. Sourcemark can read relevant provenance details and include them in a Sourcemark record for verification and audit workflows.
Who Sourcemark is for
For anyone publishing or managing creative work online.
Professional photographers and artists
For image-makers whose work carries creative, commercial or cultural value.
Designers and illustrators
For finished works, design assets, illustrations and digital art that may be exposed to AI training use.
UGC, social creators and performers
For creators publishing across social platforms, including people whose online presence may involve voice, likeness, recognisable style or personal image. Sourcemark does not solve every question around identity or style, but it can help put file-level AI training choices on record.
Writers and document creators
For authors, journalists, researchers and knowledge workers publishing PDFs, reports, articles or documents.
Personal photo sharers
For people who share personal images online and want a clearer way to declare how those files should be treated.
Catalogues and representatives
For agencies, catalogues, stock libraries, CMOs, publishers and representatives managing works at scale.
Represent a catalogue or community of creators?
If you manage work on behalf of creators, Sourcemark can help you register represented works, record AI training choices and make licence routes easier for AI teams to find.
Sourcemark is not designed to take over your direct licensing relationships. It is designed to route enquiries to the right organisation, catalogue, creator or representative when represented works are matched in an AI training or fine-tuning workflow.
Catalogues can register works in bulk, set default AI training choices for collections and update individual works where needed. They can also choose the licence route AI teams should follow when represented works are matched.
During the founding period, selected catalogue-holding organisations can join with dedicated onboarding and no upfront catalogue registration fees.
What Sourcemark does not promise
Sourcemark creates a clear, checkable record of your AI training choice.
It does not stop scraping, remove content from the internet, verify legal ownership, set prices or guarantee compliance.
Does not stop scraping or remove content from the internet
Does not verify legal ownership or certify copyright
Does not negotiate licences, set prices or process payments
Does not guarantee compliance or enforce outcomes
Today, Sourcemark does not negotiate licences on your behalf. It helps make your declared position easier to find, check and act on before training or fine-tuning.
Future tools may support additional licensing workflows, including ways to present works that are available by licence and help route enquiries more directly.
