E-commerce: your product photos copied by competitors

Updated 26 October 2026

Dropshippers and counterfeiters copy brands’ product photos to sell imitations or ride on their reputation. Frolay Protect finds those listings and gives you what you need to have them removed.

Why it matters for a brand

  • Lost sales: the copycat shop sells the same product cheaper, or a fake.
  • Damage to your image: customers who receive a poor copy blame your brand.
  • Lost investment: a professional product shoot is expensive; competitors get it for free.

Your rights in your product photos

Product photos are protected by copyright like any other photo. You can act if you took them yourself or if your contract with the photographer assigned or exclusively licensed the rights to you. Combined with your trade mark, this gives you a strong basis for platform reports.

Monitoring and acting at scale

Upload your catalogue: Frolay Protect searches for each photo, including deep Google Lens searches built for online shops, sorts the matches by priority and captures the evidence. You then report the listings to Amazon, Etsy, eBay, Shopify or the host in a few clicks, with a takedown notice or a DMCA notice ready to send.

Frequently asked questions

Can I act if a photographer took my product photos?

Yes, if your contract assigned you the relevant rights or gave you an exclusive licence; otherwise the photographer is the one who can act, possibly together with you. Check your contract.

Does Frolay Protect find dropshipping sites?

Yes, reverse image engines index product pages very well. The deep Google Lens search is designed for this type of site.

Can I get a shop that copies my photos shut down?

You can get the images removed through the host or the platform. Closing a shop is up to the platform or a court decision.
