CRITStudio
Bearing / Verify a photo

Check a photo against its record.

Scan the QR code on a Bearing Capture Record, then choose the photo. Your browser checks the seal and the file. The photo is never uploaded.

Step 1Record code

The Capture Record

Scan the QR code on the record’s second page with your phone camera. It opens this page with the record already loaded.

Paste a record link instead
Step 2Photo file

The photo

Use the original file: the stamped image or the untouched original from the same capture.

Drop the photo hereor tap to choose it

A match means

The file is byte-for-byte the one a Bearing installation signed, with the key fingerprint shown.

It does not prove

Who took the photo, or that the phone’s sensors and clock were not manipulated. Bearing is not C2PA-certified.

No match?

Messaging apps re-encode photos, so a forwarded copy will not match. Ask for the original file.

Private by design.

Everything happens in this browser tab. The record code travels inside the link, the photo is read and hashed on your device, and nothing is sent to CRIT Studio or anyone else.
