Anyone can repost your image. Only you can prove where it came from.
When your work gets reposted, screenshotted, or scraped, the evidence that it started with you is already gone. OriginCert registers every image you stamp and issues a signed, dated certificate, a record that lives outside the file where cropping and re-encoding cannot reach it. Find a copy online, paste it into the verifier, and match it back to your original. California's new rules take effect August 2, 2026, and unsigned work is about to stand out.

Google watermarked over 10 billion pieces of content. Yours wasn't one of them.
Google just launched SynthID Detector. It only flags images made by Google's AI. OpenAI joined. ElevenLabs, Kakao, NVIDIA followed.
All of those tools watermark what their AI makes. None of them watermark what you make.
If you're a creator, photographer, or brand owner, the question isn't "did AI make this." It's "can I prove this is mine, and prove it first."
OriginCert answers that question.
Many leading AI tools now attach provenance credentials when an image is created. Those credentials may disappear when the file is reposted, transformed, or screenshotted.
When you generate an image with a leading AI tool, the file is often created with C2PA credentials. The tool, the date, the source. Open standards. Cryptographically signed.
Then you upload to Instagram. Or Facebook. Or LinkedIn. Or X. Most of their transcoding pipelines strip the signature on re-encode. Your image is now indistinguishable from a screenshot someone took of it.
By the time you notice the repost on a different account with 40,000 followers, there is nothing left in the file to prove the image was yours first.
Provenance is becoming the standard. But only from one direction.
The California AI Transparency Act takes effect August 2, 2026. It requires the largest AI tools, those with over a million monthly users, to embed durable provenance metadata and publish a public detection tool that reads it. Large online platforms face their own provenance obligations beginning January 1, 2027.
That fixes the upstream side. It does nothing about the downstream side. Platforms still strip. Reposts still happen. And once detection tools are live, every unsigned image starts looking like the stolen one.
OriginCert closes the downstream gap. We re-sign your image using a neural watermark designed to remain detectable through compression and typical screenshot scenarios. We then register a perceptual hash so most reposted or recompressed versions can be matched back to your signed original.
Three layers of protection. The first one is free.
The mark they see.
Your logo, signature, or wordmark, placed where you want it, at the opacity you choose. Your mark on your work, before it leaves your hands.
A signal only you can prove.
A hidden layer is built to survive the edits people use to steal: compression, screenshots, reposting.
The record only you can claim.
Every stamped image is registered to you. Paste a copy into the verifier and it traces back to your signed original, even after resizing, recompression, or saving at lower quality. Download a signed certificate of registration anytime.

Questions answered
SB 942 regulates the AI tool makers (Midjourney, OpenAI, Adobe), not individual creators. You are not the regulated party. OriginCert puts you on the right side of the trend the law is establishing: that AI-generated content should carry verifiable provenance. When public detection tools launch in August 2026, signed AI images will be distinguishable from unsigned ones at a glance. OriginCert keeps your work signed after platforms strip the original provenance.
The neural watermark we use is designed to remain detectable through JPEG compression, downscaling, color shifts, and screenshot capture. Per-platform testing reports will be published at launch.
That is the case we built this for. Our registry is designed to match screenshotted and reposted versions back to your signed original in most cases. Cropping, heavy edits, or AI changes can alter an image enough to break the match. You get a verification URL you can share.
Images you stamp are processed and stored in your private account. We do not train models on your work. We do not share your images with third parties. Full details on the Privacy page.
Every stamped image carries a do-not-train request built into its C2PA credentials, asking AI systems not to use it for training. It is a formal declaration honored by compliant systems, though not all systems honor it, and platforms that strip metadata on re-encode remove it along with everything else. It is one more signal in your favor, not a technical block.
