Screenshot provenance recovery

When metadata disappears, recover the source.

ContentSeal helps ordinary people check a screenshot, repost, crop, compressed image, or direct image URL against lightweight proof receipts, then shows the recovered source, changed-copy risk, and what still cannot be proven.

How the engine thinks

ContentSeal does not call something true. It shows why it can be trusted.

The system separates deterministic proof from weaker context. A file can match a proof receipt exactly, look visually related after a screenshot, contain stripped metadata, include a self-declared issuer, or be expired. Those signals should not collapse into one vague score.

Recovery

SHA-256 catches exact originals; pHash recovers screenshots, crops, and compressed reposts.

Difference

Metadata, OCR, C2PA, classifier, and watermark signals stay explainable.

Lifecycle

Receipts can be active, expired, revoked, replaced, or deleted locally.

Proof page

The proof link survives when platform metadata disappears.

Source Recovered From Screenshot

Visually related to a known proof receipt, but not the original file. Metadata is gone, so users should open the recovered proof page before resharing.

Seal the source first. Recover it from any copy later.
