Ask Yourself This ...

As a photographer, would you be better off if clients could contact you from all your images online*, including uncredited or unauthorized ones you don't know about?

The goal of C-Registry is to help people find rightsholders from every copy of their creative works online, even those that have been stolen, have no credit line or that appear at a website you've never heard of.

Just one click of our bookmark brings users to you if you've 'reclaimed' your images in the C-Registry database. No image upload is needed. To benefit, you merely point us to the URLs of your images and confirm they are yours.

About three trillion images are online. More than a billion images are uploaded monthly from three sites alone - Flickr, Photobucket and Facebook. Some estimates say 100 unauthorized or uncredited images are online for every paid use. What's the value to photographers to be found from all your images at every website*?

Our basic service is free. Optionally, you can be authenticated for $25 per year, which provides extra benefits such as image recognition functionality, bulk uploads, and the ability to lock your records.

C-Registry is not the U.S. Copyright Office. It's not a stock photo agency. It is a tool designed specifically to find the creator, owner and agent of online images that some might incorrectly call 'orphaned' works. Though Orphan Works legislation has not passed in the U.S., the problem of massive internet use of uncredited and unauthorized images is real right now, today. C-Registry helps photographers level the playing field by linking your contact info to copies of your images that are uncredited at websites around the world. The process functions from websites in all languages.
