Verifying Content Credentials

Use C2PA Signer to inspect provenance and integrity signals in supported files and visible page media. Verification explains available evidence; it does not decide whether content is real or fake.

What it does

Two ways to verify media

Local file verification

Drop a JPG, PNG, PDF or MP4 into the extension to inspect C2PA manifests, signatures, actions and certificate-chain information.

Page scanning

Run Analyze this page to inspect supported visible media on the current tab and display C2PA status badges.

Detailed reports

Open a report to compare manifest details, declared actions, signer information and JSON export data.

Verification pipeline

What happens during a check

01Read supported media

The extension reads the selected file or visible page media in the browser context.

02Parse C2PA evidence

If C2PA data is present, the extension extracts manifest, claim and assertion information.

03Validate signature and integrity

The report explains whether the media still matches the signed provenance evidence.

04Evaluate trust status

The certificate chain is used to determine whether the signature is Trusted, Signed but untrusted, Invalid or No credentials.

Statuses

Interpret the result carefully

Trusted

Valid Content Credentials with a recognized certificate chain.

Signed but untrusted

The signature can be valid while public trust is not recognized.

Invalid

C2PA data exists, but signature or integrity validation failed.

No credentials

No C2PA evidence was detected. This does not mean the content is fake.
