Is this photo
or video real?

AI has made it impossible to trust what you see online. Verimago gives every certified photo and video a cryptographic label — so anyone can know if it's Authentic, AI Enhanced, or AI Created — in seconds.

Must be a direct link to the media file (JPEG, PNG, MP4, etc.). The file is fetched server-side — your browser stays private.

The problem

AI has made it impossible to know what's real.

The world produces billions of photos and videos every day. Generative AI has made synthetic media indistinguishable from authentic footage — and it is getting better every month. Audiences have no reliable way to know what they are looking at.

Verimago was built to fix that — not by banning AI, but by giving every piece of media a clear, cryptographic label that anyone can verify. Not to restrict content. To label it honestly.

Content classification

Four possible answers. One clear label.

Verimago certifies all types of content — not just authentic footage. Publishers and creators declare the content type when signing. AI-made content is fully supported; it is simply labeled so audiences know what they are seeing.

Authentic

Original, unaltered content. A real recording of real events, with no AI modifications. Certified by a verified publisher.

AI Enhanced

Real content that has been processed with AI — noise reduction, upscaling, color correction. The underlying event is real.

AI Created

Fully or substantially generated by AI. Not a recording of real events. Declared as synthetic media by the creator.

Not Certified

No Verimago certificate found. This content has not been certified — it may be real, or it may not be.

How it works

Simple for everyone. Rigorous by design.

Under the hood, Verimago uses the same cryptographic infrastructure that secures HTTPS on the web. For everyday users, it is just a URL or a file drop.

01

A publisher gets certified

News organizations and creators apply for a Verimago certificate. We verify who they are — their identity, their publication, and their editorial independence.

02

Every piece of content is signed

When a photo or video is published, it receives a cryptographic certificate — a unique digital fingerprint that records what the content is, who made it, and whether AI was involved.

03

Anyone can check anything

Paste a link, drop the file, or enter a hash code. The result comes back in seconds: Authentic, AI Enhanced, AI Created, or Not Certified. Free, public, and instant.
