Prove Authentic Ownership of Photos and Videos
TimeBinder helps creators prove that photos and videos are genuine by anchoring original files to an immutable blockchain timestamp.
What is TimeBinder and How Does it Work?
TimeBinder proves when a digital file existed by creating a cryptographic fingerprint of the file and anchoring it to the Bitcoin blockchain. The file itself is never uploaded or stored.
Verification can be made public or restricted by the user. In either case, the blockchain record proves the file existed at that point in time and has not been altered.
You need proof that comes directly from your camera and cannot be fabricated by AI.
Original photos and videos can now be copied, modified, or impersonated using AI tools with little effort. When this happens, creators are often asked to prove that their work is genuine, original, and created first.
TimeBinder allows creators to anchor original RAW photos, video files, and still frames to an immutable blockchain timestamp. This provides independent proof of when a file existed and whether a presented copy matches the original.
Most modern cameras and smartphones can capture RAW images containing genuine sensor data. By protecting even a single RAW file from a shoot or recording session, creators can establish verifiable evidence of authenticity that supports related photos or video captured at the same moment.
What If Someone Claimed Your Content as Their Own?
Imagine finding your images or footage posted by someone else who insists they created it — and you have no cryptographic proof of when your files first existed.
Without verifiable creative ownership, your content can be disputed and platforms may not intervene in your favour.
TimeBinder provides blockchain-anchored proof that your RAW files, clips and stills are genuine and belong to you.
The Threat of AI-Generated Image and Video Forgeries
AI systems can now create images and videos that mimic real camera styles, lighting patterns and even RAW-like structures. Influencers, photographers and content creators need reliable verification to prove their originals.
By anchoring each RAW photo, video clip or still frame to the Bitcoin blockchain, TimeBinder creates tamper-proof evidence that stands in disputes, platform challenges and copyright claims.
What If Someone Copied or Impersonated You?
Imagine a brand, influencer, or impersonator uploads content matching your work and claims authorship. Without independent proof of when your files were created, ownership disputes can be difficult to resolve.
TimeBinder makes authorship clear by providing immutable timestamps that show which files existed first.
Without secure verification, creators can lose control of their content simply because they cannot prove when it was made.
TimeBinder makes ownership clear. Timestamp your RAW files and footage, lock them to the blockchain and retain permanent proof they came from your camera.
The Hidden Risk: AI Recreation of Your Style or Identity
AI tools can now copy your aesthetic, recreate your poses or fabricate entire scenes using your likeness.
When images and videos can be replicated easily, proving the existence of your originals becomes critical. If your content or likeness is ever misused, your blockchain timestamp proves which files were genuine.

The Simple Solution: TimeBinder
TimeBinder anchors original image and video files to the Bitcoin blockchain, creating independent proof of when they existed.
Whether you capture high-resolution RAW photos, short-form video content or professionally edited clips, TimeBinder gives you permanent proof of ownership through immutable timestamps.
Every file’s fingerprint is created locally in your browser, ensuring privacy while providing globally recognised, verifiable evidence.
Independent Proof of Visual Ownership
Each TimeBind generates a verifiable blockchain record and a downloadable Proof of Time Certificate.
This can assist in platform disputes, copyright claims and client or agency negotiations by providing tamperproof evidence of creation.
Immutable Evidence for Visual Content
Protect your original captures without ever uploading them. TimeBinder hashes each RAW file, clip or exported image directly on your device, proving its existence at a precise moment in time.
This preserves confidentiality while delivering strong verification for any creator working with original imagery or footage.
Preserve Content Integrity for Any Creator
TimeBinder provides independent verification that your content is authentic.
Whether you are a photographer, videographer, influencer, model or creator, you can anchor each file to the blockchain and eliminate doubts about backdating or alteration.
Build Trust Across Platforms
For creators whose work circulates across multiple social platforms, TimeBinder offers independent timestamps that meet modern expectations for authenticity, safety and originality.
What about quantum computing?
Quantum computing is often raised as a concern when blockchain technology is mentioned. This concern is understandable, but commonly misunderstood. TimeBinder relies on cryptographic hashing (SHA-256) to anchor proof of file existence, and there is currently no known practical quantum attack against SHA-256.
While some public-key cryptographic schemes could be affected by future large-scale quantum computers, Bitcoin’s protocol is designed to evolve. Cryptographic upgrades can be implemented well before any realistic quantum threat becomes practical, preserving the integrity of historical records.
Importantly, TimeBinder does not expose private keys or rely on long-term signature security to prove existence in time. It anchors cryptographic fingerprints to the blockchain, creating an independently verifiable historical record that remains valid even as cryptographic standards change.

What Creators Are Saying
I anchored my RAW photo catalogue with TimeBinder. Being able to prove when each image existed without uploading anything is essential for protecting my work online.

I tested TimeBinder with unedited clips from my creator studio. If it scales, it will completely change how influencers defend their content from AI copies and impersonation.
