# Copyright Checker

> Check images and videos for potential copyright or trademark issues before they go live.

## Summary

The Copyright Checker nodes scan a creative for copyright or trademark risk before you publish it. There are two nodes, one for images and one for videos, so you can check a still or a clip directly inside a workflow instead of reviewing it manually afterward.

| Node | Accepts |
| - | - |
| **Image Copyright Checker** | PNG, JPG, or WEBP files, up to 30MB |
| **Video Copyright Checker** | MP4, MOV, or WEBM files, up to 30MB and 60 seconds |

## How to Use

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add the Node">
    Click **Nodes** in the left panel and search for `copyright`. Under **Copyright Checker**, select **Image Copyright Checker** or **Video Copyright Checker**.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Provide a creative">
    Connect an image or video from another node, such as **Upload**, **Generate Image**, or **Generate Video**. You can also drag from the node's input handle onto the canvas and pick **Upload** to add a file.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose the creative type">
    Use the **Choose Creative Type** dropdown to specify what you're checking: **Image (Static Asset)** or **Video (Animated Asset)**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Analyze">
    Hover over **Analyze** to see the credit cost, then click **Analyze** to run the check and get a detailed report.

<Note>
  These nodes flag potential copyright/trademark risk — they're a screening aid, not a legal clearance. Review anything they flag before publishing.
