Yes. It is possible to read fingerprints embedded in JPEG images published on web sites. It is also possible to read fingerprints embedded in Indexed Colour images (GIFs) although it is difficult to guarantee that the fingerprint can be detected in all circumstances, since this depends upon the size of sample data available and whether excessive image manipulation has taken place. Nonetheless, SureSign should prove to be of immense value to those who wish to monitor the use of their images on the Internet.
