Content Credentials are a provenance record based on the C2PA standard: a signed manifest some cameras, Adobe apps and AI tools attach to an image to state who created it, with which tool, and whether it was generated or edited by AI.
Drop an image below to read its manifest in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, and if the file has no credentials the tool will say so, which is a result in itself.
Read in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
Optional. Your result stays on screen and is never emailed. We only write to you about Danaya.
Choose an image
Drop a file onto the box above or click to select one from your device.
Read the manifest
The tool parses the C2PA manifest in your browser and shows the origin, the tool and any AI or edit actions.
Read the absence too
If no credential is found, treat it as a missing origin, not as evidence the image is fake or real.
A Content Credentials manifest records the tool that created or edited the asset, a signature from the issuer, the time of signing, a list of source ingredients and a set of actions such as creation, editing or AI generation.
When a camera or an app signs an image, that manifest travels inside the file. Anyone with a reader like this one can inspect it and see the declared history.
A visible or invisible watermark marks ownership, but it does not describe when or where a photo was captured, and it can be cropped or removed.
A C2PA manifest describes provenance and history, which is richer, but it is only present if a supporting tool added it, and it can still be stripped from the file.
Neither one ties the image to the real moment and place of capture the way a seal does.
C2PA is a genuine step forward, but it depends on the whole chain supporting it. Most cameras and phones do not sign images, most platforms re-encode uploads and drop the manifest, and a simple screenshot erases it.
So a missing credential tells you almost nothing, and a present one only describes what the signing tool chose to record. It is provenance you receive, not provenance you control.
Danaya gives you provenance you own. It seals a SHA-256 hash of the image together with the GPS position and a server timestamp at the moment of capture, and hands you a public link anyone can verify, independent of any editor or platform.
Danaya binds a hash, GPS and a server timestamp at capture, with a public link anyone can verify. Create your first proof free.
