If you’re concerned about copyright infringement of the photographs you post online, you may find Blockai helpful. Blockai is a free online service designed to help photographers keep track of the images they share.
To perform this function, Blockai is relying on a proven but unconventional method — blockchain. Best known for its use in verifying Bitcoin transactions, blockchain is a public database that timestamps files and creates a unique identification file code that’s all but impossible to reproduce for each transaction.
Unlike blockchain’s use for Bitcoin though, Blockai is using the technology to effectively serialize artwork through an online platform that automatically creates a unique certificate of registration and keeps tabs on whether, and where, your work is being used across the web.
The first step to protecting your work is signing up for a Blockai account. Once your account is created, simply drag and drop the images you want to protect. Once protected and uploaded to Blockai’s system, your work is done; Blockai will take care of the rest.
Since each particular image has a very specific unique identifier, Blockai is able to scour the web and see if it’s being used by someone else. In the event it is, Blockai will notify you, complete with appropriate timestamps and identifiers in the event you wish to pursue legal action.
It’s a unique approach that simplifies the process of catching would-be image thieves with the help of cryptography. The best part is, Blockai’s service is entirely free for anyone and everyone to use, whether you’re a photographer sharing landscape images or a painter showing off your latest portrait.
Fujifilm just gave its most popular instant camera a serious digital upgrade. The Instax Mini Evo 2 now comes with a touchscreen, larger sensor, and a video feature that captures four seconds before each photo. It is set to arrive by the end of November for $289.95.

Full-frame cameras tend to be chunky beasts, but Sigma wants to prove that big imaging doesn't need a big body. Enter the Sigma FP2, the successor to its tiny, boxy fp mirrorless camera. It keeps the same modular design but packs in some serious upgrades, including a 24.5-megapixel partially stacked full-frame sensor, improved autofocus, 6K video recording, and 70GB of built-in storage. Sigma calls it the world's smallest full-frame camera, and while it might be tiny, the same cannot be said for its price tag.
Sigma FP2 brings faster shooting and 6K video
A phone thermal camera is one of those tools you don’t think you need until the first time it saves you from an expensive problem, and the Thermal Master P3 just got easier to try. For Halloween, it’s discounted with the code THERMCAM10, a 10% cut that works out to $107 off the total. It’s also fresh off a win at the 2026 Tom’s Guide AI Awards for best phone thermal camera, which is the kind of third-party nod that separates a serious tool from the cheap clip-on sensors that flood this category.
