To use the tool, photographers, influencers, and others who create and share [original content](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/social-media-kit) can upload their images along with a CSV file that includes metadata to it, which will help them locate where their work has been used. The tool will scan both Facebook pages and [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reels) profiles, and then generate a list for the original publisher. From there, creators can choose to monitor their image use, add a credit to it, or block its use by issuing a takedown request. Facebook's Rights Manager can also be used for video content, which works similarly to prevent the spread of copyrighted material through social media platforms.
