Proofsource and Getty Images: fix pages with images you can license
Connect your own Getty Images API key and any drafted fix can come with a licensed image. Search is free, you pick the image and confirm, and only then does one licensed download come from your own Getty plan. Proofsource charges nothing for it. Pages that pair a clear answer with a real image read better to people and to AI.

Preview Preview means the tool is open on Pro plans and above and shows a Preview badge while we widen it. It uses your own Getty Images account, so any download cost stays on your own plan, and nothing is licensed until you confirm on a fix.
Why we love Getty Images
In the makers' own words, from their own pages. Proofsource builds on it, never around it.
An API that puts the library inside your tools
The Getty Images API gives you access to outstanding images, videos and illustrations from Getty Images and iStock, ready to bring into your own platform.
From developer.gettyimages.comA clear path from search to download
The getting started guide walks through four simple steps, from an access token to search to a download request, so a licensed image is a handful of calls away.
From developer.gettyimages.comRich results to choose from
A single search call returns captions, titles, license models and display sizes for every image, which gives you what you need to choose well.
From developer.gettyimages.comHow Proofsource uses Getty Images
Finds licensed images for fix pages from a drafted fix, using your own Getty Images account.
- Know
See which fix pages have no visuals
A drafted fix for a lost question often reads as text only. Proofsource flags where a licensed image would make the page more useful.
- Act
Search Getty from the fix
On a fix, choose Find an image. Proofsource searches your Getty account with terms from the draft. Searching is free.
- Ship
Confirm one image
You pick an image and confirm before it is licensed. Only then does one download come from your own Getty plan.
- Prove
Measure the finished page
Once the page is published, Proofsource checks whether ChatGPT, Perplexity and the other engines now name and cite you.

Questions about Proofsource and Getty Images
What does Proofsource do with Getty Images?
It searches your Getty Images account for licensed images that suit a drafted fix, shows you the results, and licenses one only after you pick it and confirm.
What does it cost?
Searching is free. Each image you confirm uses one download from your own Getty Images plan, so it follows your own license terms. Proofsource charges nothing for the download.
What access does it need?
Your own Getty Images API key and secret, copied from your application in your Getty developer account. Proofsource uses them only to search and to license an image you confirm.
How do I disconnect Getty Images?
Open Integrations, find Getty Images and remove the connection. You can also delete or rotate the key in your Getty developer account, which cuts access at once.
What does Preview mean here?
It is open on Pro plans and above, with a Preview badge while we widen it. It runs on your own Getty account and nothing is licensed until you confirm.
How does an image help my AI visibility?
A page that answers the question clearly and carries a real, licensed image is a better page, and better pages are easier to cite. Proofsource then measures whether the engines name you after it goes live.
Which AI engines does Proofsource check?
Up to 10 depending on your plan: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Grok, DeepSeek and Meta AI. The free scan and trial run four.
