Domain History

The domain is 10,808 days old (approximately 29+ years), indicating continuous operation since the mid-1990s. Registrar is NameWeb BVBA.

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

  • Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on support.image-line.com and not a lookalike like s-upport.image-line.com.com or an IDN homoglyph.

  • Use a password manager

    Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review found no threat indicators on support.image-line.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • support.image-line.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 88/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
  • Yes. support.image-line.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, expiring in 80 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • support.image-line.com is 29.6 years old, registered on 11/7/1996 through NameWeb BVBA. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report support.image-line.com as clean.
  • No. support.image-line.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • support.image-line.com resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 11, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around support.image-line.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
