Content credentials (C2PA)

Checked 2026-09-18
Also said as content credentialsC2PA
C2PA content credentials are an industry standard that embeds an image's origin history — a tamper-evident receipt showing how it was made and edited.
Why it matters to your business

If you publish AI images for clients, content credentials are how you prove provenance — watermarking for images, in effect — and they matter more as disclosure rules tighten.

The catch · what vendors don't say

The receipt only survives the pipeline — crop, screenshot, or re-export through the wrong tool and it can vanish.

I'm David. I build AI that keeps your data yours.
