Protect Your Art from AI: How to Use Glaze

Using Glaze is straightforward but may require some processing power from your computer’s Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). Below are the steps on how to use Glaze to protect your photos and “cloak” them against AI.

Visit the official Glaze website to download the software. Once installed, load and open the program.

Choose the specific image or batch of images you want to protect. Keep in mind that processing a large number of images at once requires a more powerful GPU.

Intensity:
Higher intensity adds more protection but makes the layer and pixel changes more visible to the human eye. The “default” intensity is a common sweet spot for users.
Render Quality:
This determines how long the process takes. Selecting “faster” will save time if you are in a rush.

It is best practice to select a dedicated “Glazed” folder for each project’s output files. This ensures you don’t mix up your original high-resolution and non-protected files with the protected versions intended for the web.

Click render and wait for the process to finish. Once done, your image is ready to be shared safely!

While Glaze is a strong safeguard, it works best when paired with a solid legal foundation. No software is 100% foolproof, so the most effective way to secure your art is to combine these tech defenses with official legal shields.
