For Newsrooms
Verify incoming assets before you publish.
A photo arrives from a contributor. Was it taken yesterday or in 2019? Was it modified? Is the metadata genuine? A signed provenance record answers these questions in seconds.
What to do with each verification result
verified_manifest_intact Publish with confidence. Show the provenance badge to readers. The signer's identity and the signing timestamp are available for your editorial record.
metadata_missing_watermark_recovered Metadata was stripped (common for wire distribution), but provenance was recovered via invisible watermark. Publish with a "manifest recovered via watermark" editorial note.
metadata_missing_fingerprint_candidate Partial perceptual match. Shown with a confidence score. Manual editorial review recommended before publication.
signature_invalid A manifest exists but the cryptographic signature does not validate. The content may have been modified after signing. Do not publish without independent verification.
inconclusive No provenance record found. This does not mean the content is false — many legitimate images have no provenance record. Apply your standard editorial due diligence.
Verbitas verifies provenance signals. It does not replace editorial judgment or verify the accuracy of what is depicted.
Integrate with your CMS
Embed the Verbitas verifier widget in your CMS editorial view. One script tag — the provenance status appears alongside the photo before a journalist publishes it.
