PixelSeal
Images + Video Protection

Your Work Gets Shared.
Your Credit Doesn't Always Survive.

PixelSeal embeds a structured identity signal into your images and videos — enabling attribution after compression, reposts, and platform processing.

Tested across real platforms. Verified under compression.

Real-World Verification Results

Platform survival tests from PixelSeal's testing system. Some files verify cleanly. Some partially recover. Some contain signals without recoverable identity.

PixelSeal doesn't assume. It tests.

Detection is not proof. PixelSeal distinguishes signal presence from verifiable identity.

Every test is reproducible. Every result becomes evidence.

Built for images. Proven under video.

Images and Video. Same Protection.

PixelSeal embeds identity at the signal level, not the container. Works whether your attribution signal lives in a JPEG, PNG, MP4, or WebM.

Survival Lab

We break it. Then we measure what survives.

Compression. Cropping. Re-encoding. Platform pipelines.
If it survives, we log it. If it doesn't, we show it.

Every result becomes evidence.

Proof, Not Just Detection

Three outcomes. No ambiguity.

PixelSeal doesn't guess. It verifies. Every file gets a clear, evidence-backed result you can understand and act on.

VERIFIED

Verified

Proof recovered and cryptographically validated.

Common when

  • Original file, untransformed
  • Light JPEG compression
  • Format conversion
DETECTED

Detected

Signal present but degraded by extreme conditions.

Common when

  • Heavy crop (50%+)
  • Multiple platform reposts
  • Instagram + screenshot chain
NOT FOUND

Not Found

No recoverable signal.

Common when

  • Never embedded
  • Extreme destruction
  • Complete re-creation

Automated Evidence

Evidence is generated automatically.

Every test produces structured output — including platform conditions, transformations, and verification results.

This creates a growing dataset of real-world proof.

Why PixelSeal Exists

Platforms transform your media. Identity shouldn't depend on them.

Metadata is removed. Files are recompressed. Ownership becomes unverifiable.
PixelSeal doesn't rely on metadata. It remains recoverable after transformation.

PixelSeal: Identity in the signal

Remains recoverable after compression, crops, screenshots, format conversion, and platform processing under tested conditions. Because the attribution is in the pixels, not attached to them.

How It Works

Seal. Send. Verify. Prove.

A cryptographic chain designed for recoverability across real-world distribution — from pixel embedding to identity resolution.

01

Seal

Embed identity into the file.

Creator ID + Asset ID + Timestamp + HMAC

02

Send

Share anywhere.

Instagram · Facebook · WhatsApp · Screenshots

03

Verify

Recover identity.

Scaled-grid + Reed–Solomon recovery

04

Prove

Confirm attribution.

CRC-16 + HMAC-SHA256 → Registry lookup

Grounded in established research

  • Frequency-domain embedding (DCT/DWT) for compression resilience
  • Error correction for recovery under distortion
  • Redundant embedding for recoverability after cropping and resizing
  • Designed to balance robustness and imperceptibility

Digital watermarking research identifies three core requirements:

  • Robustness — Survives compression, cropping, and transformations
  • Imperceptibility — No visible change to the image
  • Reliability — Accurate detection after distortion

PixelSeal is designed around these principles, extending them into real-world platform distribution environments.

Your Media Leaves Your Control.
Your Attribution Shouldn't.

PixelSeal embeds identity directly into your files — so you can verify attribution even after they've been shared, compressed, or transformed.
