Industry solution

Capture for Creativity and Art

Maintain ownership and earn revenue every time AI agents or platforms reuse your work. Built for photographers, illustrators, and digital artists.

The challenge

What's broken today

Creators face a brutal asymmetry — AI models train on years of original work without permission or payment, while opt-out tools are slow, ineffective, and often impossible to enforce. Traditional stock platforms take 50–80% commissions and offer little protection against scraping.

How Capture helps

Built-in for your industry

Capture once, monetise forever

Sign your work with C2PA, register on-chain with ERC-7053, and expose it through x402. Every AI fetch is a paid event with a permanent on-chain receipt.

Set your own prices

Define license tiers — editorial, commercial, AI training — each with its own x402 endpoint and price. No platform telling you what your work is worth.

No middleman cut

Receive USDC directly to your wallet. Capture earns a small percentage on settled licenses; you keep the rest.

Cryptographic copyright proof

ERC-7053 timestamps your work the moment you register it. In any dispute, the on-chain receipt is the strongest proof of priority you can produce.

Regulatory alignment

Compliance, by design

Regulation What it requires How Capture satisfies it
EU Copyright DSM Honouring TDM opt-outs Your tdm-policy.json + Capture metadata signal training permissions automatically
US DMCA Proof of authorship for take-down notices ERC-7053 timestamps establish first-publication priority
California SB 942 Disclosure for AI-generated images C2PA generator claim + on-chain attestation for any AI-assisted work

"We chose Capture because of their leadership in the provenance standard. Their solution has been instrumental in preserving the integrity of our content."

Frequently asked

Creativity and Art questions

How much does it cost to start?

Free. ProofSnap is a free download, the Capture SDK is open source, and Capture Dashboard has a free tier for individual creators. You only pay when AI agents license your work — and most of that payment comes back to you.

What if I already have a back catalogue?

Upload it through Capture Dashboard or via the SDK. Capture signs each file and writes ERC-7053 receipts asynchronously. Bulk batches of 100,000+ files are routine. Your existing watermarks and copyright notices remain intact.

Can I prevent AI from training on my work entirely?

Yes. You can publish a tdm-policy.json that disallows training, mark your assets with a "no-training" license tier, and rely on ERC-7053 timestamps for take-down enforcement. Capture also publishes a public list of opted-out creators that compliant AI providers honour automatically.

Will my fans / readers see anything different?

Optionally yes — Capture Eye shows a small "verified" badge on any registered work, which expands to display creator info, edit history, and licensing terms. Visitors love the transparency; you can disable the badge entirely if you prefer.
