Art Vault protects artists, galleries and estates from unauthorised AI scraping — with multi-layered defence that evolves as the threat does, and provenance certification that proves your work is yours.
Founding members get 50 images/month at locked-in pricing.
Every image you post online is a potential training sample. AI companies have built billion-dollar products on the aesthetic output of artists, photographers, and designers — without consent, without credit, without compensation.
Consumer tools like Glaze were a breakthrough in 2022. Within months, a single research paper bypassed them at 99.98% accuracy. The threat evolves quarterly. The protection needs to as well.
For galleries and estates, the problem compounds. Collector confidence is eroding as AI-generated forgeries become indistinguishable from authenticated works. Provenance that lives on paper and trust is no longer sufficient.
We've built three products for three distinct needs. Here's how to choose.
Choose this if you post work online and want to protect it before it reaches social media, portfolio sites, or client previews. Art Vault applies invisible, multi-layered defence to each image — poisoning it for AI training while keeping it visually identical for human viewers.
Choose this if you manage a catalogue of works and need verifiable proof of authenticity. Provenance OS creates C2PA-compliant digital certificates — cryptographic records of who made each work, when, and where it was first published. Built for insurers, auction houses, and collectors.
Choose this if you represent artists and want to protect their entire catalogue under one subscription. Gallery Shield bundles AI protection with a white-label provenance registry branded to your gallery. Your artists don't need individual accounts.
Three products built on a single principle: control belongs to the creator.
Art Vault applies adversarial poisoning, C2PA provenance certificates, and persistent watermarking to every image you upload. The result looks identical to you and your audience — but an AI training pipeline that ingests the image learns nothing usable. If one defence is overcome, the others hold.
Unlike consumer tools updated annually, Art Vault's protection evolves quarterly — tracking published bypass research and adapting before the next wave hits.
Provenance OS creates a cryptographically signed, C2PA-compliant record of every work in your catalogue — where it was made, by whom, when, and who has held it since. Publicly verifiable. Immutable. Built to satisfy the standards that insurers, auction houses, and collectors are beginning to demand.
White-label deployment means your clients see your institution's name and branding, not ours.
Gallery Shield bundles Art Vault Studio access with a white-label Provenance OS registry. Your artists don't need individual accounts — you handle protection as part of your representation. Collectors get verifiable provenance on every acquisition. You offer something no other gallery does.
Starting from £2,500/year for up to 500 works. We're onboarding a small number of founding galleries now.
Upload your finished artwork through Art Vault before you post it anywhere. JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and WebP supported up to 50MB.
Three layers are applied simultaneously: adversarial poisoning that corrupts AI style extraction, a C2PA provenance certificate that proves ownership, and an invisible watermark that survives compression and resizing.
Download your protected image and share it anywhere. It looks identical to the original. If it's scraped, the poisoning degrades what an AI learns, the certificate proves it's yours, and the watermark persists.
I'm a Blender artist working across 3D, music, and film. When I first tested the image generation tools, I was genuinely impressed — particularly the ability to generate Studio Ghibli-style images from a handful of words. The warmth, the light, the feeling of decades of artistic craft, reproduced on demand.
That curiosity led me down a rabbit hole. I discovered how scraping works at scale, how artists' styles are being emulated without consent, and how livelihoods are being quietly displaced. As an artist, these things are sacred to me.
I tried Glaze and Nightshade — the most serious technical responses available. They were promising. Then their underlying algorithm was broken. That's when I decided to build something more resilient: multi-layered protection that doesn't rely on a single approach holding forever.
