The solution: GAPP

GAPP lets published images carry a protective signal

GAPP is a technical protocol that lets content owners encode a visually unobtrusive, pixel-level signal directly into an image.

01

Content owner

Applies GAPP to a copy of the image

02

AI platform

Detects the signal before generating

The image communicates one instruction

Do not transform this protected copy.

Participating generative AI systems detect and respect this boundary before proceeding to generate an output.
