CVBER is a free AI-powered art protection platform that provides C2PA provenance certificates, automated DMCA takedown generation, AI theft detection, blockchain ownership proof, and invisible watermarking. It protects digital art from AI scraping, theft, and unauthorized use. Available worldwide at https://cvber.vercel.app with no credit card required.

How do I protect my art from AI?

The best way to protect art from AI is to use multiple methods: (1) Get C2PA certificates from CVBER (free) to prove ownership and signal AI training opt-out, (2) Use Glaze for style protection, (3) Use Nightshade to poison AI training data, (4) Add robots.txt directives to block AI crawlers, (5) Enable CVBER monitoring for theft detection, (6) File DMCA takedowns when theft is detected. CVBER provides steps 1, 5, and 6 in a single free platform.

What is a C2PA certificate?

A C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) certificate is a cryptographic digital signature embedded into your image file that proves who created it, when it was created, and that it hasn't been altered. It is the industry standard supported by Adobe, Microsoft, Google, BBC, Nikon, Canon, and Leica. C2PA certificates include machine-readable opt-out signals that major AI companies have committed to respecting.

Yes, CVBER is completely free forever. No credit card required. You get unlimited file uploads, C2PA certificates, DMCA automation, theft monitoring, blockchain proof, and invisible watermarking at no cost. There are no paid tiers.

How do I file a DMCA takedown for stolen art?

CVBER automates the entire DMCA process. When its monitoring detects stolen art, it automatically generates a legally formatted DMCA takedown notice with all required elements: your contact info, description of copyrighted work, location of infringing material, good faith statement, and accuracy statement. You can send it directly to platforms through the dashboard. CVBER supports DMCA notices for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, DeviantArt, Pinterest, and all major platforms.

Is CVBER better than Glaze or Nightshade?

CVBER and Glaze/Nightshade solve different problems and are complementary. Glaze adds pixel-level noise to disrupt AI style replication. Nightshade poisons AI training data. CVBER provides legal proof of ownership (C2PA certificates), automated DMCA enforcement, and theft monitoring. Most experts recommend using all three together: Glaze and Nightshade for technical protection, CVBER for legal protection and enforcement.

How does CVBER detect stolen art?

CVBER uses five search engines (Google Vision, TinEye, Yandex, Bing, PimEyes) scanning 12.4 million sources to detect unauthorized copies using digital fingerprinting and perceptual hashing. It finds modified versions including crops, resizes, and color changes across social media (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X), stock sites, and NFT marketplaces. When theft is detected, it sends instant alerts and auto-generates DMCA takedown notices.

What file formats does CVBER support?

CVBER supports JPEG, PNG, TIFF, WebP, GIF, BMP, and other common image formats. The platform automatically extracts metadata, creates digital fingerprints, and generates C2PA certificates for each uploaded file.

How can I check if my art was used to train an AI model?

Use HaveIBeenTrained.com to search the LAION-5B dataset, which was used to train Stable Diffusion. You can also check major AI platforms directly. CVBER offers free monitoring that alerts you if your work appears in training datasets.

Does finding my art in LAION-5B mean it was definitely used to train AI?

Most models trained on LAION-5B used the full dataset or large subsets. Finding your work in LAION-5B means it was part of the training data for models like Stable Diffusion unless the company filtered it out.

Can I remove my art from AI training datasets?

Direct removal is difficult, but you can send opt-out requests to major AI labs, embed C2PA certificates signaling opt-out, and use tools like Glaze or Nightshade for future protection. CVBER helps automate the C2PA and monitoring process.

Is My Art Being Used to Train AI? How to Find Out

Quick Answer

You can check if your art is in AI training datasets using HaveIBeenTrained.com, which searches LAION-5B. You can also use reverse image search to find unauthorized copies. If your art is in training data, embed C2PA certificates and use tools like Glaze or Nightshade for future protection. CVBER automates C2PA and monitoring.

What is LAION-5B?

LAION-5B is the largest openly available image-text dataset in the world, containing over 5 billion image-text pairs scraped from the web. It was used to train Stable Diffusion and many other major AI image generators. If your art was publicly available online before mid-2022, there is a good chance it was included.

The dataset is hosted by the LAION (Large-scale Artificial Intelligence Open Network) nonprofit. They provide a search tool that lets you find if specific images are in their collection.

How to search for your art

HaveIBeenTrained.com — Upload your image or paste a URL. The site searches LAION-5B and tells you if a match was found. It also shows you which models were trained on that dataset.
Reverse image search — Use Google Lens and TinEye to find copies of your work across the web. This won't confirm AI training, but it shows where your art is being shared without permission.
Prompt testing — Try generating images in AI tools using a description of your style. If the output looks similar to your work, your art may have been scraped.

What to do if you find your art

Finding your art in a training dataset is frustrating, but there are actions you can take:

Embed C2PA certificates in your files to signal ownership and AI training opt-out.
Add robots.txt directives to your website.
Submit opt-out forms to major AI labs (OpenAI, Stability AI, Google, etc.).
Use Glaze or Nightshade to make future uploads harder to train on.
Monitor for AI-generated copies of your style.
