Take a Proofie!

(Verifable) Pics or it didn’t happen.

Proofie You’ve heard it a thousand times. Now make it true.

A Proofie is the next-gen Selfie: a photo you capture, sign, and share to show you were really there, really then, really you. No AI. No fakes. Just you, the moment, and the math to back it up.

Whether you are proving you are not AI for an online job interview, or that you made it to the summit, showed up at the rally, caught the sunrise, or walked someone’s dog — a Proofie turns your pic into verifiable proof.

How to Take a Proofie in 3 Steps

1. Snap it. Install and open the Proofmode Capture app on your phone, activate the camera, and take a photo or video. That’s it! Proofmode automatically captures the where, when, and how right alongside your shot.

2. Sign it. In the background, Proofmode cryptographically signs your media using the open C2PA standard and notarizes it. Your Proofie now carries tamper-evident credentials that travel with it wherever it goes.

3. Share it. Post it, send it, publish it. LinkedIn supports the verification standard (c2pa) that Proofmode uses, so that is a great place to start. You can also post Proofie videos to YouTube (horizontal only for now), and it will show it was “Captured with a camera”. Otherwise, just share a “proof zip” as an email attachments, in a group chat, or through a cloud drive.

Verify and Validate!

Anyone can verify your Proofie using open tools to confirm it’s real, unedited, and not AI-generated.

Why Take a Proofie?

Beat AI. Generative AI can conjure a convincing fake of anyone, anywhere, doing anything. A Proofie is the counter-move: signed evidence that a real human, with a real camera, was really there.

Defend Reality. Every authentic Proofie shared is a small act of resistance against a flood of synthetic slop. The more of us take Proofies, the harder it gets for fakes to pass unchallenged.

Build Trust with Other Humans. Friends, family, journalists, coworkers, strangers on the internet — when you share a Proofie, you’re giving them something they can actually believe. Trust, shipped with the photo.
