About our crawler

Requests with the User-Agent TraceAnyImage/1.0 (+https://traceanyimage.com/bot) come from Trace Any Image. They happen only when someone asks:

• to trace one image by its address (we fetch that image, or that page and its main image), or
• to scan a website they run, so they can check its images for licenses (we read its robots.txt, sitemap and pages, then its images).

Site scans honor robots.txt: rules for TraceAnyImage, or for *, apply, and pages are fetched one at a time with a pause between them. A single image someone asks about by its address is fetched once, like a browser would. We don't index or republish your pages; a scan's report lists image addresses and the pages they appear on, for the person who asked.

To stop all of it, add to your robots.txt:

User-agent: TraceAnyImage
Disallow: /
