Art Vault stops AI from scraping your art. Invisible, multi-layered protection plus a timestamped proof-of-ownership certificate: independent evidence the work is yours, free with every image. Visually identical to your original. Done in under two minutes.
Protect your first image free, no card, with a free proof-of-ownership certificate. After that, £19 for one more, or plans from £8/month. The evidence that registries charge £30/yr for is included.
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.
Art Vault is shaped by the artists who join early. We ship updates most months, driven by what people ask for, and the changelog is public and dated so you can check that against reality rather than take our word for it.
We will be straight with you about what this is. The protection is layered on purpose: adversarial perturbation, C2PA provenance and an invisible watermark, precisely because no single technique holds forever. The certificate side is the part that does not degrade: a timestamped record of what you made and when, independent of us. Everything else gets better with you in the room.

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.
Protect your first image free, no card, and keep its timestamped proof-of-ownership certificate. After that you have a choice: buy one more image and its certificate for £19, or subscribe if you're protecting work regularly.
One payment. A protected file and a timestamped certificate with a public verification link. Nothing renews, nothing to cancel.
For represented artists, estates and foundations with a catalogue rather than a folder. We protect and certify the whole body of work with you, re-check it every 90 days, and give you a named person to call. Most people start with a conversation.
