Take a selfie
A selfie is a photograph you made, so you’re its author. That’s the kind of human work copyright protects.
You can pick up to 10 photos at once. Each one gets its own fingerprint and its own proof.
This preview is only on your phone. Nothing was uploaded.
This is your photo’s fingerprint
These 64 letters and numbers were made from every bit of your photo, right here on your phone. Any other file gets a different one.

Say who made it
Copyright protects what a human made. If AI changed part of your photo, you say so and claim only your part. That’s a human authorship statement.
Your human authorship statement
Stamp it on the blockchain
CopyRise writes your photo’s fingerprint onto the blockchain, a public record copied on thousands of computers. After that, no one can change or backdate it, and anyone can check it for free. Your first work is free.
This is the photo you’re stamping. Change photo
Recorded with your stamp
We’ll email you a receipt right away with a link to confirm your address and get your proof, then again when the blockchain locks in the date. Your photo is never sent, only its fingerprint, the details you typed, and your email. Privacy policy: copyrise.ai/privacy
No signal right now, and that’s OK. Your fingerprint is saved on this phone, and it will be stamped by itself as soon as you’re back online. You can close this page; it sends the next time you open copyrise.ai/live.
- Sent to the timestamp servers
- Waiting for the blockchainUsually a few hours. Then the date is locked in for good, and we’ll email you.
- Check your email
Your proof is ready. Save it now and keep it with your photo. It’s a small .ots file that anyone can check, with or without CopyRise.
Got more photos? Stamp them too. Your name and email stay filled in.
Make it count in court
Your blockchain stamp proves when your photo existed. In the U.S., you can’t sue over a U.S. work until it’s registered with the Copyright Office, and registering early is what makes statutory damages and attorney’s fees possible.
If AI touched your work, the application has to name the AI parts and leave them out of your claim. Your authorship statement from step 3 is the start of that.
