Free AI Content Credentials checker
What does this image actually say about where it came from?
C2PA Content Credentials are a tamper-evident manifest that tools like Adobe Firefly, Photoshop, some cameras, and a growing list of AI generators sign into a file. Drop a file in and read what it declares — the check runs on your device, so the file is never uploaded.
or drag & drop a JPG, PNG, or PDF here. Nothing is uploaded — the check runs in your browser.
No file checked yet
Choose a file or try the sample to read its Content Credentials. The sample intentionally has no manifest, so you can see the honest “unknown” state before checking your own media.
Trust the recorded processing history, not the truth of the image itself.
Treat provenance as unknown. Screenshots and re-saves commonly remove the record.
Do not rely on the manifest until the original signed file can be checked.
Keep the complete result
The useful part is already yours.
Your file verdict is complete and stays on your device. Add your email and site to reveal the provenance decision checklist and keep the hand-off tied to your domain.

Claude AI text-watermark detection
Anthropic began watermarking all Claude output in August 2026, but has not yet published the detection specification — so nobody can truthfully decode that text watermark today. We are not going to ship a fake detector. The moment Anthropic releases the spec, this checker gains a paste-your-text detection mode. Until then, this space is honest about what cannot yet be done.
Provenance is one signal in a much bigger picture. Orchory turns your business profile into a ranked queue of pages worth building — each with the content, metadata and structured data your coding agent ships. Explore the rest of the free tools while you are here.

From a file to its provenance in three steps
No account, nothing to install, and no upload. Pick a file and read what its Content Credentials declare.
-
Choose a file
Drag in a JPG, PNG, or PDF, or click to pick one. The file is read locally in your browser using the open C2PA wasm toolkit — nothing is uploaded and nothing is stored.
-
We read the manifest
If the file carries a C2PA manifest, we parse the signed provenance: the signing tool, edit actions, timestamp, and whether the signature validates against the embedded certificate.
-
Read the provenance
You see a plain-English verdict: AI-generated or not, who signed it, what was done to it, and whether the credential is still intact. No manifest? We say so honestly, without guessing.
Who it is for
Who checks Content Credentials
Anyone who needs to know whether a file carries verifiable provenance — and what that provenance actually claims — before they trust or publish it.
-
Journalists & fact-checkers
Verify whether a viral image carries provenance from a camera or a generative tool before you publish, and see whether it was edited after signing.
-
Trust & safety teams
Triage user-submitted media at a glance: read the declared source type and edit history instead of eyeballing pixels.
-
Designers & agencies
Confirm the Content Credentials on assets from Adobe Firefly, Photoshop, or a stock library survived your export pipeline.
-
Anyone handed an image
Answer one honest question — does this file say anything verifiable about where it came from? — without installing a toolchain.

What a Content Credential does — and does not — prove
C2PA is genuinely useful, but it is not a lie detector for images. Here is the honest version.
-
It records processing, not authorship.
A manifest says a file passed through a tool that signed it — not who made the underlying creative decisions.
-
Absence proves nothing.
Most files carry no credentials at all. A screenshot, a re-save, or a format conversion strips the manifest, so "no credentials" never means "human-made" or "fake".
-
Presence is a claim, not a guarantee.
A valid signature means the manifest has not been altered since signing and traces to a certificate — it does not independently verify the content is true.
-
AI is declared, not detected.
When we say "AI-generated", we are reading a flag the signing tool wrote into the manifest. We are not analysing pixels or running a classifier.
Questions
Content Credentials, answered.
What is C2PA?
C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) is an open standard for attaching a tamper-evident, cryptographically signed record of provenance to a media file — where it came from, which tools touched it, and whether it was declared AI-generated. Adobe, cameras, and a growing set of AI tools support it.
Do you upload my file?
No. The entire check runs in your browser using the open C2PA wasm toolkit. The file never leaves your device, and nothing is stored. That is also why it works instantly and needs no account.
Can this detect AI-generated text from Claude or ChatGPT?
Not yet. This tool reads C2PA provenance from images and documents, which is a solved, open standard. Text watermark detection (for example Anthropic's Claude watermark announced in August 2026) has no published detection spec yet, so no tool can do it truthfully today. We will add a text-detection mode the moment the spec ships.
Why does it say "no Content Credentials found"?
Because that file carries no C2PA manifest — which is the case for the vast majority of images online. It is not a verdict on the file: credentials are stripped by screenshots, re-saves and format conversions, and most tools never write them in the first place. Absence is not evidence either way.
Is it really free?
Yes. No account and no card. The check runs entirely on your device. Signing up is only for Orchory, which turns your business profile into a ranked queue of SEO pages your coding agent ships.
