CopyrightChain FAQ.

How can I protect a file before sending it?

Before sending it, create digital proof with CopyrightChain: final file, PDF certificate, QR code, deposit date and public verification. It is a simple way to keep an organized record before the content starts circulating.

What is the difference between publishing a file and creating digital proof?

Publishing shows the content online. Creating digital proof documents a specific version of the file with a PDF certificate and public verification that can be checked later.

When should I certify a file?

The best moment is before sending a proposal, delivering work, publishing content, sending a logo to a client, sharing a draft or using an asset in a campaign.

What can I certify with CopyrightChain?

You can certify texts, images, photos, logos, naming concepts, creative concepts, music, videos, source code, ZIP files, documents, contracts, NDAs, business plans, presentations and business materials.

How can I document AI-created content?

Collect key prompts, briefs, meaningful drafts, revisions, human choices and the final file. CopyrightChain helps turn these elements into an organized path with PDF certificate, QR code and public verification.

What should I keep if I use ChatGPT, Midjourney or other AI tools?

Keep what shows the work: main instructions, selected variants, manual edits, review notes, project notes and the final file. You do not need to save everything: save what explains the human contribution.

Should I certify the prompt, the draft or the final file?

For simple work, the final file is often enough. For important projects, certifying key prompts, briefs or decisive drafts makes the creative path clearer and stronger.

What is the PDF certificate for?

The PDF certificate makes the proof readable: it identifies the file, links date and technical references, includes QR code and points to public verification. It is designed to be shown to clients, partners, collaborators or professionals.

How does public verification work?

Anyone receiving a certificate can check it online through the QR code or the CopyrightChain verification page. The certificate becomes a verifiable reference, not just a static document.

Is the original file published?

No. Public verification shows certificate data and the references needed for checking. The original file remains under the user’s control.

What is the technical fingerprint of a file?

It is the technical reference that separates one file version from another. If the content changes, the fingerprint changes too. For technical users, CopyrightChain uses SHA-256.

What is Bitcoin anchoring?

It links the file proof to Bitcoin/OpenTimestamps references. In simple terms, it adds an independent technical trace to the CopyrightChain certificate.

What is the difference between Basic, Bitcoin anchoring and InfoCert timestamp?

Basic creates SHA-256 hash, PDF certificate, QR and public verification. Bitcoin anchoring adds OpenTimestamps/Bitcoin references. InfoCert timestamp adds InfoCert qualified timestamping linked to the file SHA-256 fingerprint.

When should I choose the InfoCert timestamp?

Choose it when the file has commercial, creative or professional value and you want stronger documentary evidence in a European trust framework: logo, contract, draft, AI content, code, photo, proposal or material sent to clients and partners.

Does certification create copyright?

No. Copyright arises when the work is created. CopyrightChain does not register or create copyright: it documents a specific file version, its integrity and its existence at a stated time. It does not replace trademark, patent or other formal registration.

Does CopyrightChain create verifiable digital evidence?

Yes. CopyrightChain documents a specific file version with SHA-256, PDF certificate, QR code and public verification. You can add Bitcoin/OpenTimestamps or qualified InfoCert timestamping, with certified date and time linked to the file fingerprint.

How much is one InfoCert Timestamp?

One InfoCert Timestamp costs € 2.00. There is no bundle or subscription: select your file, its fingerprint is calculated locally, pay € 2.00 and download the timestamp. Your original file stays on your device.

How much does it cost to certify a file?

You get 1 free Basic certificate every month and it does not roll over. Additional Basic certificates cost €4.90. Bitcoin anchoring is €9.80 and the CopyrightChain dossier with InfoCert qualified timestamping is €14.70.

Is CopyrightChain useful for agencies and client work?

Yes. Agencies, designers, copywriters, consultants and marketing teams can document proposals, visuals, texts, drafts, revisions and AI-assisted materials before sending them to clients.

Is it useful for companies and internal teams?

Yes. A company can use CopyrightChain for marketing materials, presentations, documents, images, campaigns, approved assets and content created or refined with AI.

Why use CopyrightChain instead of a folder or an email?

A folder stores files. An email shows a delivery. CopyrightChain creates organized, verifiable digital proof that is easier to present when you need to reconstruct a version or creative path.

What is the CopyrightChain AI Proof workflow?

It is the workflow for content created, edited or refined with AI. It helps document the final file, prompts, brief, drafts, revisions, tool used, human choices, PDF certificate and public verification.

How do I create a dossier for AI content?

Start from the final file, add key prompts or briefs, save decisive drafts, describe human choices and create the certificate. The result is a cleaner record that is easier to present.

What does human contribution mean?

It includes ideation, creative direction, prompt selection, output selection, rewriting, editing, retouching, compositing, review, layout and finalization.

Why should human contribution be documented?

Because in AI content the value often lies in the choices. Documenting prompts, drafts, revisions and the final file makes the project clearer, more professional and ready to present.

Can I certify prompts and briefs?

Yes. You can certify exported prompts, briefs, working notes, relevant conversations or documents that explain the creative path.

Can I certify drafts and intermediate versions?

Yes. For important projects this is a strong choice: drafts show evolution, selection, human intervention and steps that the final file alone does not show.

Is it only for AI images?

No. You can use it for texts, articles, ebooks, images, logos, naming, videos, pitch decks, marketing campaigns, UI, source code, presentations and project ZIP files.

Is it useful for creative agencies?

Yes. It is especially strong for agencies that send concepts, visuals, copy, drafts and AI-assisted materials to clients and want to show order, method and professionalism.

Is it useful for companies using AI internally?

Yes. It can document marketing assets, presentations, documents, images, internal workflows, approved content and materials created or refined with AI.

How can I try it?

Start by certifying a real file: an image, text, logo, draft or AI-assisted project. You can use 1 free Base certificate every month; it does not roll over.
