What is PICSEL-id?

Using a cutting-edge fingerprinting system, PICSEL-id identifies images based on their visual content and connects users with the rightful owners. With a simple drag-and-drop interface, users can search for an image by uploading a single photo, a cropped or rotated version, a PDF, a montage, or even an entire book that needs relicensing.
