1,250+ creators on Vouch "With a Vouch badge, the 'is this AI?' argument ends in 2 seconds. My next assignment, every frame is signed." — Daniel R., Reuters photojournalist
What Vouch does

Everything needed to prove it's real.

Six things every piece of verified content needs. All in one platform.

Capture-time signing

Photo or video is cryptographically signed the instant it's taken. No backfilling. No "let me add this later." Provenance is born with the file.

Scannable QR badge

A small, visible mark anyone can scan with their phone camera. Verification happens on the audience side — no app to download.

Public verification page

Each certified piece has a permanent verification URL. Embed it, share it, link to it from your newsroom or LinkedIn.

Tamper detection

If a verified photo is edited, cropped, or AI-altered after certification, scanning the QR shows ⚠ Tampering Detected — with the original hash for reference.

API for publishers

Connect Vouch to your CMS, your stock photo platform, your insurance system. Verify thousands of media items programmatically.

Court-grade chain of custody

Every certification includes a full provenance log: device, timestamp, location, hash. Admissible in U.S. and EU courts.

Real is dead

AI made every image a question mark.

Deepfakes are now indistinguishable from real photos. AI video is 6 months from being indistinguishable from real footage. Your audience can't tell what you actually saw, shot, or witnessed. Vouch is the answer.

Your scoop photo gets reposted with a "this is AI" caption. Hours of damage control.

Verified Vouch content shows up to 4× the engagement. People share what they trust.
Stock photo agencies can't tell AI-generated from real submissions. Sales are falling.
Vouch certifies at capture — only real cameras get the mark.
Court evidence rejected because the judge wasn't sure if it was AI-generated.
Vouch metadata is admissible in U.S. and EU courts. Provenance is legally robust.
Vouch vs. the alternatives

Why creators use Vouch.

C2PA is invisible metadata. Truepic is for insurance. Vouch is a visible, scan-anywhere badge made for the public. Here's the breakdown.

How it works

From "is this AI?" to verified in seconds.

No new gear. No new workflow. Sign once, badge once, anyone verifies.

1
At capture

Capture with Vouch

Use the Vouch app on your camera or phone (or our API for studio rigs). Every photo or video gets cryptographically signed at the moment of capture. Takes zero extra steps.

2
1 click

Embed the QR badge

Place the Vouch QR mark on the photo or in the video corner. Customizable size and position. It signals: this content has been certified.

3
2 seconds

Anyone scans, anyone verifies

Audience opens their camera, points at the QR. Within 2 seconds: a full verification page showing creator, capture time, and provenance chain. Trust restored.

Trust

Built for the people who need proof.

Vouch is infrastructure, not a content company. Three commitments we hold to from day one.

Cryptographic, not centralized

Public-key, independently verifiable

Vouch uses public-key cryptography. We can't fake certifications or revoke yours without leaving an audit trail. The chain is verifiable independently.

Press-credentialed verifications

Issued by news orgs and agencies

News orgs and stock agencies can issue creator-credential bundles. Their verified photographers get a press badge alongside the standard Vouch mark.

Open standard

C2PA + ISO 22311 compatible

Vouch interoperates with C2PA, ISO 22311 (digital provenance), and EU AI Act metadata requirements. Your verified content is portable across platforms.

I had a photo from inside the Aleppo evacuation reposted with "this is clearly AI" captions. With a Vouch badge, that argument ends in 2 seconds. My next assignment, every frame is signed.

"It saved a $40M campaign."

Our luxury watch ad ran for two weeks before someone started a thread claiming it was AI-generated. With Vouch badges on the social cuts from day one, we cleared it up in an hour, not a week. Now every campaign ships with Vouch.

"Insurance investigators trust it now."

We process 8,000 claim videos a month. Before Vouch, we manually reviewed 30% for AI suspicion. Now we filter by Vouch verification first; only unverified content gets human review. Cut our review queue by 60%.

"My press pass goes further now."

Editors used to ask "did you actually take this?" for every controversial frame. With Vouch, the conversation is just about the story. The credibility tax for freelance photojournalism just dropped.

Questions

Common questions.

How does Vouch actually verify a photo or video?+
At capture, your device (camera or phone app) cryptographically signs the file with your private Vouch key. We store the signature + a hash of the original. The QR badge links to a public page showing the signed metadata. Anyone scanning it can independently verify the signature is real, the file is untampered, and the creator is who they claim.
What stops someone from putting a Vouch badge on a fake photo?+
A fake badge doesn't work. Scanning a fake QR returns "✗ No Vouch record" because there's no signature on file. The QR is only useful when it points to a real, signed record on our servers.
Do I need a special camera?+
No. Vouch works on any iPhone, Android, or DSLR/mirrorless via our companion app. Studios with professional cinema cameras can use our SDK to integrate at capture. We don't replace your gear; we annotate it.
What about videos that need editing — cropping, color grading?+
We support a "permitted edits" certification flow. You sign the original, declare allowed edit operations (crop, color), and verifications include the original + the edited fingerprint. Scanning shows: "✓ Verified · Edited within permitted scope."
How is this different from C2PA?+
C2PA is an invisible metadata standard for software-to-software verification. Vouch is built to be scannable by ordinary people with their phones — no app, no specialist tools. We also support C2PA, so verified content is portable across both ecosystems.
Will viewers actually scan?+
Same as scanning a restaurant menu QR — it's a 1-second action. Early publisher data shows ~28% of viewers scan a Vouch badge on a contested news photo within 24 hours of publication.
What about privacy? Does Vouch see my photos?+
We store the cryptographic hash + signature + metadata you choose to make public. We don't store or have access to your actual image or video files. Your content stays on your servers, your CDN, or your social platform.
