How it works

From idea to proof, your creation protected step by step.

Hover over the steps.Tap a step to open it.

  1. CreationYou create. You turn it into a file.

    A photo of your painting, an export of your mockup, your code, your prompt, your scanned lab notebook: anything that fits in a file.

  2. DepositYou deposit it on Ipocamp.

    Drop the file into the deposit area. Your first deposits are on us, with no account, in a few seconds.

  3. FingerprintIpocamp computes the file's unique fingerprint, before anything is sent.

    Like a fingerprint on your finger, it identifies your exact file. Change a single pixel and the fingerprint changes completely.

  4. DateThe fingerprint is recorded with its date on a public registry.

    Once recorded, the date can no longer be changed. Anyone can check it, for free.

  5. CertificateYou receive your certificate by email.

    It brings together the fingerprint, the date and a public verification link.

  6. DisputeSomeone copies you? You're ready.

    Your evidence file is already built. It brings together every step of your creative process, each one dated: it is this whole set that proves your work, far more than a single file. Insurance and legal support take over.

The creative process

A creation is proven over time.

A single file shows a result. A series of dated deposits shows how you got there: your ideas, your trials, your choices, your versions. That journey is what forms a solid body of evidence.

Your proof file

Each deposit adds a dated item to your file.

Sorted by date, your certificates tell the story of your creation, from the first note to its release.

Building your file: 4 habits

  1. Deposit earlyFrom the first notes or sketch, not just the final result.
  2. Deposit at every key stageEach new version, each important choice, even the options you drop.
  3. Name your files clearlyProject, stage and version in the name, for example painting_v2.jpg.
  4. Keep your originals untouchedKeep every deposited file unchanged: it is what allows the certificate to be verified.
