You're in control
Most people using your work aren't villains. They just didn't ask.
Choose how you'd like to respond, and Atlas handles the hassle: the licence offers, the awkward follow-ups, and the legal steps when a case needs them. You stay focused on your work.
Offer a licence
Turn unpaid use into a paying customer.
Ask for credit
Get your name back on your work.
Request removal
When it's not okay, we'll help take it down.
When you say it's
yours, it holds up.
Creators verify their identity before they send a claim, and every image is registered to its owner. So your claims carry weight, and the people licensing your work know they're dealing with the real you.
