What are Content Credentials?
Content Credentials use the C2PA standard to attach provenance claims to digital media. These claims may describe the tools and steps involved in creating or editing an asset.
CONTENT CREDENTIALS
Check Image Content Credentials
Inspect whether an image contains C2PA provenance information. ImageProof currently reports manifest findings and validation issues; trusted-signer verification is still being developed.

THE EXPLAINER
What you should know.
Understand the available evidence and its limitations.
Does a C2PA manifest prove a photo is real?
No. Even a valid credential authenticates particular signed claims, not necessarily the truth of the depicted scene.
What does an untrusted result mean?
A manifest was found, but ImageProof has not established trust in its signer. Do not interpret that status as a verified signature.
What if no credentials are found?
Many legitimate images have no C2PA data. Credentials can also be lost during processing or distribution.
COMMON QUESTIONS
The details matter.
Clear answers about what image verification can and cannot establish.
Is C2PA the same as AI detection?+
No. C2PA describes signed provenance information, while AI detection estimates whether content may be synthetic.
Can ImageProof verify trusted signers?+
Not yet. Trusted-signer verification is a planned improvement. Current results must not be treated as proof of trusted provenance.
VERIFY WITH CONTEXT
Evidence, not assumptions.
AI detection is an estimate. Metadata and provenance provide additional context, not absolute proof.
