How SourceSeal works

Seal the media. Share the media. Let viewers check the source.

SourceSeal creates a visible trail from a shared photo or video back to the person or organization that published it. The seal gives viewers a QR code, a short SS code, and a verification page built for context, ratings, and focused discussion.

Process and download

SourceSeal applies the QR code and SS code, creates a scan-friendly preview, and keeps a full-quality sealed copy available from your dashboard.

Viewer flow

What happens after someone scans a seal

The verification page gives the viewer a practical checklist instead of asking them to trust a screenshot floating around the internet.
