Detect Content Credentials and AI provenance in your videos
Drop video files to get started
MP4 · MOV · MKV · AVI · WebM · WMV — up to 500 MB each
Content Credentials (C2PA, Adobe) are stored in the video container's metadata — MP4/MOV atoms, Matroska elements for MKV. This video provenance checker reads the file's real tags and spots provenance-related fields: C2PA manifest, claim signature, an "AI-generated" assertion, ingredients and actions. Nothing is changed — it's a read-only analysis, useful for vetting received footage, an AI-generated video or an edit before broadcast.
Stored in container atoms (MP4, MOV) or MKV elements.
The user-facing layer of provenance (Adobe).
A field declaring AI generation or editing, with a model name.
The checker reads every metadata location in the container.
The video is never re-encoded or modified by the analysis.
Encoder, duration and editing software shown with the provenance.
A video exported from Premiere Pro, an AI video generator or a compatible editing tool can embed a manifest in its container metadata. But YouTube, Instagram and most platforms systematically re-encode video on ingestion, which almost always wipes that layer — so check the master file before upload, not the copy downloaded back from the platform.
C2PA manifest in MP4/MOV atoms or MKV elements.
Content Credentials visible in compatible applications.
YouTube and social networks nearly always re-encode on ingestion.
Read-only analysis — video and audio streams are never touched.
As of August 2, 2026, Article 50 of the EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) makes machine-readable marking of synthetic content mandatory — video and deepfakes included — across the EU, with fines of up to €15 million or 3% of global turnover. Checking a video before broadcast avoids unwanted labels and documents your diligence.

A provenance certificate is not a video ranking signal. For SEO, prioritise a clean title and description in the container, a transcript, captions, and VideoObject structured data on the hosting page. C2PA serves editorial trust and GEO — clear provenance helps generative engines cite your content.
Title, description and copyright in the container.
Structured data on the hosting page.
Captions and text, key for GEO.
A deliberate choice: certificate kept or stripped.
The open specification for provenance certificates, applicable to video.
The consumer-facing implementation of C2PA provenance.
The atom structure used by MOV and MP4 files.
Metadata fields for the MKV format.
The reference text on marking synthetic content, deepfakes included.
The video container reading engine used by this checker.
Found provenance you want to remove?
Upload the video
MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, WebM, M4V, 3GP — up to 500 MB.
Read the tags
Read mode lists every tag stored in the container.
Spot the provenance
Look for c2pa / contentcredential fields among the tags.
No. It reads metadata read-only and never re-encodes the video or audio streams.
No. Most deepfakes carry no manifest at all, and platforms routinely wipe the provenance layer on re-encode. Absence of a certificate is not proof of authenticity.
MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, WMV, FLV, WebM, M4V, 3GP, MTS and M2TS (up to 500 MB per file).
Because the platform re-encodes the video on ingestion, wiping the original container metadata. Always check your master file, not the downloaded copy.
Yes — use the C2PA Video Remover or the universal C2PA Credentials Remover to strip the manifest without re-encoding.
No. The manifest attests a signed claim of origin, not absolute truth. For legal obligations, refer to EU AI Act Article 50.
