Introducing EverStamp: verifiable photos and video, for iPhone and Android

EverStamp is live. From today you can record a photo or a video that carries its date, time and place, keep your captures together as one file, and have an independent, qualified service timestamp it, so the person you send it to can check it for themselves, in a browser, without an account.

What EverStamp does

Point the camera, and the date, time and place go into the shot, as your phone gives them. Your captures stay together as one file. When you close the file, an independent, qualified timestamping service records that it existed in exactly that form by that moment. Whoever receives it checks it in the browser: every check but one runs on open standards anyone can use; only the confirmation for the final green comes from our registry.

Why we built it the other way round

Apps in this corner often reach for the biggest claim they can: ‘tamper-proof’, ‘court-ready’. We went the other way. EverStamp records; what a recording is worth in a dispute is for a court, an insurer or the other party to decide, not for us. So we say precisely what a file establishes, precisely what it does not, name the standards, and make the whole thing checkable by someone who has never heard of us. A claim you can check is worth more than one you have to believe.

What is in the first release

EverStamp is available now on the App Store and on Google Play, for iPhone and Android. Every photo carries a C2PA Content Credential, signed by EverStamp after the phone has signed the photo, and both apps are listed on the C2PA Conforming Products List. You can now also record verifiable video, on iPhone and Android. The file is timestamped by a qualified trust service, and the free verification page checks the whole chain.

Where to start

Download the app, record your first file, and send it to yourself to see the check. If you want to understand what is and is not established along the way, the guides explain the standards in plain terms, starting with Content Credentials and what a date on a photo really shows.
