Content Credentials
Every image generated by Depicta includes Content Credentials — machine-readable metadata proving it was AI-generated. This is based on the C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) standard.
What’s included
Section titled “What’s included”C2PA metadata
Section titled “C2PA metadata”Embedded in every generated image:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Generator | ”Depicta” — identifies the service |
| Action | ”Created” or “Edited” |
| Timestamp | When the image was generated (UTC) |
| Model | The AI model used |
| Digital signature | Cryptographic proof the metadata is authentic |
Image hash
Section titled “Image hash”Every generated image’s SHA-256 hash is stored for provenance verification. Hashes are attributed to your account for 12 months, then anonymized. The hash itself is retained indefinitely.
The hash is returned in every generation response (image_hash field) and per-format (formats.{png,jpeg,webp}.hash).
EU AI Act compliance
Section titled “EU AI Act compliance”The EU AI Act (Article 50) requires AI-generated content to be machine-readably marked as such, effective August 2, 2026. Depicta’s Content Credentials satisfy this requirement.
Verifying Content Credentials
Section titled “Verifying Content Credentials”You can verify any Depicta-generated image using:
- Content Credentials Verify — official C2PA web tool
- Adobe Photoshop / Lightroom — shows Content Credentials in the info panel
- Any C2PA-compatible tool
Processing and credentials
Section titled “Processing and credentials”All Depicta processing operations preserve C2PA metadata. The metadata-strip operation removes EXIF and XMP metadata only — it never touches Content Credentials. Re-encoding and format conversion preserve C2PA data as well.
