PictureMatters turns an ordinary image into a structured evidence report — from camera metadata and GPS to provenance markers, processing traces and a cryptographic file identity.

THE FORENSIC LENS
Six layers. One clear report.
Most tools stop at EXIF. PictureMatters connects the file's identity, provenance, processing traces and surviving metadata into one readable evidence map.
Location
Embedded GPS coordinates, direction and an approximate place when available.
GPS EVIDENCEAI provenance
Known generator markers plus C2PA and Content Credentials signals.
PROVENANCEProcessing trail
Possible editor, camera app or platform markers left in the file.
SOFTWARE TRACEImage DNA
Exact SHA-256 plus a perceptual fingerprint useful for near-duplicate checks.
FILE IDENTITYMetadata survival
See whether useful context survived sharing, export or platform processing.

01
Drop the picture
Your browser can calculate a fingerprint before the file is sent.
02
We inspect the file
Metadata, GPS, hashes, processing markers and supported provenance signals are read.
03
We separate fact from signal
A generator marker is not treated as proof. Missing metadata is not treated as proof of AI.
04
You get the evidence map
One report shows what was found, what it may mean and where the evidence has limits.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your images are analyzed, not archived.
No account. No image library. The original file is used for analysis and then deleted automatically. We don't build a collection of your photos.
