AI companies scrape billions of images to train their models without consent. Cloak uses their vision pipeline against them. Upload your image, and Cloak layers on a subtle pattern that scrambles how AI models read it. Instead of seeing your art, they see something like a watermark and skip it during training. It's free, quick, and anonymous! No ads or data collection, either.
I created Cloak because many artists are worried that their art is being stolen to train AI. Cloak fills a different niche than other solutions like Glaze or Nightshade. Glaze assumes that the image will be used to train the AI, which is uncomfortable to artists. Nightshade assumes that poisoned images will form a majority of the training data, which is not guaranteed. As an artist, I wanted to find a way to prevent our art from being used in AI training data.
