Stop renting your portfolio to Big Tech, secure your master files from scraping, generate Certificates of Authenticity, and share your work at lightning speed.
The Trap of the Public Cloud
As a digital artist, your master files are your livelihood, but today’s standard cloud drives treat your private folders like public warehouses. Big Tech subsidizes the cost of your storage because they need your layered files, your concept art, and your high-res details to train their generative AI engines. If they built a true zero-knowledge vault where even their own developers couldn't see the files, their AI models would starve. Instead, they charge you thousands of dollars over a decade just to rent space, offering zero legal proof that the art belongs to you.
The Aegis Solution
Aegis by IAMAG is the world’s first Sovereign Encrypted File Service built exclusively for creative professionals. It is not a hard drive, it is a titanium safe deposit box for your intellectual property. We combined the lightning-fast gallery experience of a premium portfolio platform with the impenetrable privacy of a Swiss bank. And to be absolutely clear, Aegis has nothing to do with NFTs, tokens, or crypto-wallets. We use standard, enterprise-grade cybersecurity to mathematically protect your copyright.
The Split-Architecture Magic
Heavy encryption usually breaks your visual workflow, but Aegis solves this by splitting the payload in milliseconds. When you upload a file, a lightweight proxy image is instantly generated and cached on our edge network, giving you beautiful gallery views and blazing-fast sharing links. Simultaneously, your heavy, uncompressed Master File is AES-256 encrypted directly on your device, mathematically shredded into 80 pieces, and scattered across a globally distributed grid. No single server holds your file, no scraping bot can access it, and not even our own team can see your work.
The Secure Review Room & Client Delivery
Most hardcore encryption tools are clunky, overly technical, and impossible to use with clients. Aegis is different. When it’s time to deliver your work or get approval from an Art Director, you don't send them a blind download link. You send them to the Review Room. Our interactive delivery suite allows clients to view your fast-loading visual proxies in a sleek, professional gallery environment. They can drop exact coordinate pins directly onto your artwork to leave specific feedback—all without needing to download massive master files or install custom software. Before sending the link, you have absolute control over the handoff: toggle on password protection, set strict time-expiring links, or apply dynamic visual watermarks, ensuring your high-res IP is never exposed before the final invoice is paid.

Standard cloud drives bleed you dry with endless subscriptions. On Kickstarter, we are offering exclusive Time-Capped Passes that secure your massive storage blocks for years upfront.

The Kickstarter Roadmap & Stretch Goals
- Base Goal: $15,000 — The Sovereign Vault & Image Review Engine. When you share a secure link, clients step into a pristine presentation room where they can drop pins and leave threaded comments on fast-loading proxy images.
- $50,000 Stretch Goal: The Interactive Delivery Engine on Videos. Upload a massive ProRes sequence, and Aegis will instantly generate a fast-streaming, secure proxy. Art Directors will be able to drop pins on frame-accurate timecodes.
- $100,000 Stretch Goal: White-Label Studio Branding. Send a secure review link, and all Aegis branding disappears. You can upload your own studio logo and define your brand colors.
- $250,000 Stretch Goal: Dynamic Forensic Watermarking. Aegis will dynamically embed an invisible, cryptographic signature (or customizable visible overlay) directly into the proxy pixels, tied to that specific client's email address and viewing session.
Our Stance on Generative AI
Aegis is built by humans, for humans, to protect human art from machines. We do not rely on Large Language Models to write our core security infrastructure. Most importantly, Aegis does not contain any generative AI features, nor will it ever. We will never scan, analyze, or train machine-learning models on your uploaded files. The mathematical sharding of our decentralized network physically prevents third-party scraping bots from accessing your IP.
