Overview
In today’s digital world, a photo alone is no longer proof. Photos can be edited old images reused. Locations can be faked. Photo Proof is a secure mobile application designed for individuals, professionals and enterprises that require tamper proof, verifiable photo documentation. One can even use it for taking a photo of your collectable item which you have put on sale on Facebook, that photo will have the “Verfied by Photo Proof” Stamp.
Every image captured inside the app automatically records live GPS location, date, time, timezone, and assigns a unique verification ID that allows anyone to validate its authenticity. All data is synced from our online servers so even if user spoofs the time on his/her device our app will not get affected.
Photo Proof only works when:
- The user has an active internet connection for online syncing of date and time data
- GPS/location services are turned ON
This ensures metadata is captured in real time and cannot be manipulated offline. Users cannot upload edited images or reuse old photos. No internet. No GPS. No capture. That’s how we protect authenticity.
