MemeProof is a free service that provides timestamped, cryptographically signed proof of authorship for visual content. Upload an image, meme, or screenshot, and MemeProof generates a verifiable record showing when it was created and who claims authorship — using C2PA-compatible cryptographic standards.
Copyright law protects creators. The problem has never been the law. It's been proof. When your image goes viral without credit or someone reposts your work as their own, you need a durable, verifiable record that establishes you as the original creator. MemeProof gives you that record.
MemeProof was built for visual creators — meme makers, digital artists, photographers, designers, and anyone whose images spread without credit. It also works for screenshots, AI-assisted work, and any visual content where proving original authorship matters.
The service is designed for individual creators working at internet scale. If your meme gets reposted by an account with millions of followers with no attribution, MemeProof gives you leverage beyond arguing in the comments.
A screenshot is just an image. It proves nothing about when you took it or what the original looked like. MemeProof generates a cryptographically signed record using standards designed for content provenance. The timestamp is independently verifiable. The evidence is reviewed by real humans before a Birth Certificate is issued. This is evidence a platform will actually take seriously.
MemeProof includes built-in guides for filing DMCA takedowns on major platforms. Once you have a Birth Certificate proving ownership, you can file a takedown with real supporting documentation. This is the gap between knowing your work was stolen and getting it taken down.
Pair this with Beaumont & Sheridan's How to File a DMCA Takedown guide and our DMCA Takedown Toolkit for platform-specific templates.
MemeProof currently focuses on visual content — images, memes, screenshots, and static visual works. It does not verify audio, music, or video at this time. For audio and music disputes, use our Documenting Infringement guide to build your own evidence trail.
MemeProof launched publicly in February 2026 and is under active development. Browser-based content discovery tools are planned for future releases.
MemeProof offers a free account tier with full verification tools. Sign up at memeproof.com.
Verify your content before it goes viral. The Birth Certificate's timestamp is the proof — you want that timestamp to be as early as possible. Don't wait until someone steals your work to prove you made it.
