Drop in any clip. The check happens right in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server.
Legitly scans the file for an embedded C2PA Content Credential and pulls the video's full technical metadata.
A clear read on whether the clip carries a provenance record — plus what that does and doesn't tell you.
Think of them as a nutrition label for media. C2PA is an open standard — backed by Adobe, Microsoft, Google, OpenAI, the BBC, Sony and Nikon — that lets cameras and editing tools attach a cryptographically signed record of how a piece of media was made and changed. Legitly reads that record.
When a camera or editor supports C2PA, it seals a record into the media itself — who made it, when, on what, and every edit since. The seal is cryptographic, so the moment anything is altered, it shows.
Legitly's checker opens that record and translates it into a plain-language answer — no jargon, no guesswork.
The clip carries a provenance record. You can see where it claims to come from and how it was edited.
Most videos today have none yet — that doesn't make them fake. It just means there's no signed record to verify.
This checks the record a video carries — it isn't a guarantee a clip is real or fake. Honesty over hype.
A permanent, downloadable Certificate of Authenticity — with a unique reference, the captured frame, full technical metadata, camera make & model, GPS location, a SHA-256 fingerprint, and the C2PA provenance result.
No. Most videos today carry none — it only means there's no signed record to verify. Credentials are new and still rolling out across cameras, editors and AI tools.
The quick check runs entirely in your browser, so nothing is uploaded. Only if you choose the $0.50 certificate is the file sent to our secure server — and it's permanently deleted after 24 hours. Your certificate is kept.
A full server-side scan, a frame captured 4 seconds in, and a permanent, downloadable Certificate of Authenticity with a unique Legitly reference and a SHA-256 file fingerprint.
Honestly, no tool reliably “detects deepfakes.” This checks provenance — whether a tamper-evident Content Credential is attached. That's a stronger, verifiable signal than a guess.
The open standard (a Linux Foundation project) behind Content Credentials, backed by Adobe, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, Sony, the BBC and more.
Legitly protects products with single-use QR, sends self-destructing secret messages, and checks media provenance — all under one trusted name.
