Image results

CRD can extract public results from image search engines. A result may provide a source page, a thumbnail, and sometimes a direct URL served by a CDN or host.

Choose the correct target

The page publishing an image and the image file itself are not always controlled by the same operator. CRD keeps the available addresses, identifies the actionable source, and applies the appropriate route: reporting the page, contacting infrastructure, or requesting de-indexing.

Limits

Visual similarity alone is not enough to establish ownership or lack of permission. Qualification relies on the result context, creator identity, and available legal information.
