Have I Been Trained? — AI Model Training Verification for Creative Professionals

Stop wondering if your original artwork has been scraped and used to train commercial AI models without your permission or compensation.

What It Does for Your Business

Have I Been Trained? is a free verification tool that lets you search whether your images have been included in the training datasets of popular AI art generators like Stable Diffusion, DALL-E, Midjourney, and others. Simply upload an image or provide a URL, and the tool checks against known training datasets to confirm if your work was used. For creative professionals—photographers, illustrators, graphic designers, and digital artists—this is critical intellectual property protection that costs nothing to use.

The tool addresses a real business problem: AI companies have trained their models on billions of images scraped from the internet without artist consent or compensation. If your work is in those datasets, you have documentation of the breach. This information matters for legal claims, licensing disputes, portfolio decisions, and understanding how your creative work has been used. It's especially valuable for small creative agencies and freelancers who rely on original work as their competitive advantage.

Key Features

• Instant Dataset Search — Check multiple major AI training datasets in seconds without technical knowledge
• Batch Upload Capability — Verify multiple images at once instead of checking one at a time
• No Account Required — Run searches immediately with zero signup friction
• Visual Match Results — See exactly which images in training datasets match your work
• Export Documentation — Download verification results as proof for legal or licensing purposes
• Ongoing Monitoring — Optional alerts when new matches are detected in updated datasets

Best For

Freelance photographers and illustrators, digital design agencies, stock photo contributors, graphic design studios, fine artists selling original work, content creators protecting portfolio assets, and any creative professional whose original work could be used in AI model training without permission.

Pricing

Free for individual searches. Premium plans available for bulk verification and continuous monitoring (pricing varies).

Business ROI

For a freelance designer or photographer, this tool eliminates hours of uncertainty about intellectual property theft—time that would cost $50–$150 per hour investigating manually. More importantly, documented evidence of unauthorized training data use strengthens potential licensing claims or legal action, which could recover thousands in damages or settlement value. For creative agencies, verifying client work protects reputation and ensures you can confidently represent that assets are original and uncompromised. The free tier means you invest zero dollars to secure critical IP documentation that could become very valuable if disputes arise.
