PixelAuth gives you the tools to authenticate your media — invisibly, verifiably, and entirely on your device.

Every signature is paired with an RFC 3161 cryptographic timestamp from a Time Stamping Authority of your choice. Your media gets a tamper-proof PDF certificate including a QR code for instant verification — shareable as digital proof of authenticity. KEY FEATURES • Invisible DCT watermark — no visible alteration to your image • RFC 3161 timestamp — open standard, internationally recognized • PDF certificate with QR code — verifiable by anyone, anywhere • On-device processing — your photos never leave your device • 3 protection modes — Discreet, Balanced, Robust • eIDAS-compatible — works with qualified TSA providers for legal value in the EU • Signed Capture — sign photos at the moment you take them • Scan & verify — detect the watermark in any previously signed image PRIVACY FIRST PixelAuth processes everything locally.
