Original photos & video

Give your original media a date you can verify.

Record your original photo or video before you publish or send it. If it later appears under someone else’s name, show that your exact source file existed by an earlier date.

What a match supports

This exact media file existed by this date.

How that helps your case

If someone questions whether you had the file before a repost, your earlier record helps support that timeline. Keep the original and proof for a reviewer to check alongside publication and edit history.

What it doesn’t establish

It does not prove who created or owns the content, or whether someone copied it. Crops, edits and platform compression can change the fingerprint, so a repost may not match your recorded original. The record still gives you strong, checkable evidence that your exact original existed by that date, supporting your timeline in a credit or copying dispute.

Record it. Keep it. Show it.

  1. Record before you publish

    Record the original photo or video before posting or handing it over. Keep that file unchanged; record edited exports separately when you need a dated version.

  2. Keep the original and proof

    Download the receipt and included proof PDF. Back them up with the exact original or ZIP you recorded, rather than only a platform download.

  3. Show the original you recorded

    Share the recorded original or ZIP and proof PDF with a reviewer. Anyone can use free Verify to check for a matching record, without an account.

Keep the rest of the story, too.

Keep raw captures, project files, edit history and publication links. They help connect the recorded original to the work that appeared online.

You can record one ZIP containing originals, project files and supporting documents. Keep that exact ZIP: its proof verifies the archive, not individual extracted files.
