1. Generate
Generate or edit media within your AI or creative platform environment.
Enterprise solution
C2PA for AI Platforms — Add Provenance to Generated and Edited Media
C2PA Signer helps AI and creative platforms verify, test-sign and explain Content Credentials on generated or edited media.
AI Media Provenance Workflow
2. Sign
Use a test certificate to embed initial provenance data for demos and validation.
3. Verify
Verify the output to check whether the manifest is correctly attached.
4. Report
Open the report to review credentials, declared actions and assertions.
5. Publish
Publish or distribute the media with Content Credentials intact.
What the report can show
Manifest
High-level summary of the media history and core identity metadata.
Actions
Record of declared edits, generation steps and tool interactions when provided by the manifest.
Signature
Cryptographic evidence used to review integrity and origin of the digital asset.
Certificate chain
Certificate-chain information used to separate public trust from test or unrecognized signing.
Test signing
Clear indication when development or sandbox credentials are used for demos and validation.
JSON export
Machine-readable report data for QA, internal logs or downstream review tools.
Common review scenarios
Generated images
Verify AI-native content from prompt workflow to final delivery.
Edited photos
Review declared transformative edits and C2PA-aware processing steps.
AI-assisted video
Inspect provenance for hybrid generative and manual video workflows.
Model output batches
Review batches to understand which outputs carry credentials and which do not.
What this does not prove
Transparency is central to C2PA. Understanding the limitations is as important as understanding the capabilities.
Human authorship
C2PA does not verify that a human created the content. It can expose declared tools or actions when credentials are present.
Authenticity of scene
It does not prove that a depicted event actually happened in the physical world.
Copyright ownership
The presence of a manifest does not grant or verify legal copyright standing.
AI detection
C2PA Signer is not a classifier for all AI-generated media and does not decide whether media is real or fake.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use C2PA Signer for video generation workflows?
C2PA Signer is currently focused on browser-side verification, test signing and reporting workflows. For product or platform integration planning, use the enterprise workflow path.
Does signing affect the file size of generated assets?
C2PA manifests add metadata to media files. The exact impact depends on the format, manifest contents and certificate-chain information.
Which AI models are compatible with C2PA Signer?
C2PA is model-agnostic. What matters is whether the output format and workflow can carry supported Content Credentials.
How do I move from test signing to production?
Production public trust requires a recognized certificate chain. Test certificates remain useful for learning, demos and internal validation.
