PixGuard review
A broad image-risk toolkit for creators, agencies, and website teams.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
PixGuard is an AI reverse image search and copyright-risk monitoring tool for content creators, web designers, agencies, marketing teams, and organizations managing website images. It scans uploaded images and website media using reverse image search, source lookup, stock-image matching, watermark detection, AI-generated image detection, metadata analysis, and per-image risk scoring. The product supports JPG, PNG, and WebP files, with uploads of up to 250 images. It is available on the web and through a Chrome extension, with a free WordPress plugin for media-library auditing.
Pricing is structured around recurring plans and optional scan credits. Pro costs $29 per month and includes a 9-signal forensic scan, reverse image search, weekly site monitoring, email alerts, and full scan results. Business costs $79 per month and adds deeper AI-vision analysis, daily site monitoring, a priority queue, priority support, and large-site scans. Scan Packs work with any plan: the $20 pack includes approximately 80 image scans, the $60 pack approximately 270, the $150 pack approximately 750, and the $300 pack approximately 1,670. These one-time credits do not expire.
PixGuard’s main strength is breadth within image provenance and risk review. Its workflow brings together EXIF, XMP, IPTC, and C2PA metadata analysis with visual matching, hidden-watermark detection, copyright-risk scoring, and recurring monitoring. Google Lens, Yandex, Google OAuth, WordPress, and Chrome are supported in the product ecosystem, while Chrome enables right-click image scanning. Pro suits users who need regular source checks and weekly monitoring; Business is better for larger sites or teams that need daily coverage and priority handling. Buyers seeking a narrow reverse-search utility may find this broader monitoring and forensic feature set more than they need.
