Image and Video Digital Certification
We’ve all heard the saying that a picture is worth a thousand words. But in a world where any photo can easily be edited with AI, an image only has value if you can prove it’s real.
Think of the many everyday situations where an image or a video can be decisive: documenting the condition of an apartment before renting it out, showing the state of a car after an accident, certifying that a product was delivered in good condition, or even keeping track of the progress of construction or repairs.
With MassCert, you have a simple and secure tool to achieve this. Our app allows you to capture images and videos with immediate certification, giving you peace of mind that your visual evidence is valid and credible to third parties. This way, you can avoid disputes, unfounded claims, and—most importantly—a lot of headaches.
What is image and video certification?
To certify an image or a video means to officially record two fundamental things:
- The exact date and time of capture.
- The original content of the image.
This is done through our certified capture application, which generates a unique and tamper-proof record of each image or recording. In other words, it’s not just about taking a picture: it’s about obtaining a document that proves the image has not been manipulated since its capture.
The result is that your images and videos stop being simple digital files that can be easily altered and become visual evidence with real probative value.
What is it for and why is it so important?
We live in an era where images can be altered with editing software or artificial intelligence in ways that are almost undetectable. This means that many companies, insurers, and institutions no longer consider just any image as valid evidence.
This is where certified capture comes into play. Thanks to MassCert, your images and videos:
Have legal value, because they include certification proving their authenticity.
Inspire trust, leaving no room for doubt about whether they have been retouched.
Protect you against false claims, creating a deterrent effect against anyone trying to dispute facts without real grounds.
Give you security and peace of mind, knowing you have a way to visually demonstrate how things were at a specific moment.
How does image and video certification work with MassCert?
The process is very simple and accessible to everyone. With the app available for Android and iOS, you just need to follow a few quick steps:
- Download the app to your mobile device.
- Sign up or log in with your MassCert account.
- Select your certification plan or product according to your needs.
- Open the camera function within the app (the normal phone camera does not work).
- Capture the image or video you need to certify.
- The certification is generated automatically on the spot—no further action required.
- Download the certificate whenever you need it and use it as proof.
The result: an experience as simple as taking a regular photo, but with the added power of knowing it will have validity and credibility if needed.
When is it useful to certify images?
The applications of certification are much more common than they might seem. Any situation where you may need to prove the condition of an object, a space, or a specific event is a good use case. Some examples:
Rentals: record the actual condition of an apartment or premises before and after a contract. Avoid disputes about damages.
Accidents and insurance: provide certified images of material or personal damage. Simplify and speed up claims processes.
Sales and deliveries: whether you are a buyer or a seller, you can prove that the product was in good condition at the time of delivery or receipt.
Shipments: certify that a package left in good condition before being sent, protecting yourself from possible damage claims.
Construction and repairs: document the progress of the work, show the final result, and prove the quality of the job done.
These are just a few situations, but in reality, any moment when an image or video could be disputed is a good time to use MassCert.
What are the advantages of having certified images/videos?
Certifying existing images or recordings is not the same as creating certified images or videos, because it does not prove that they weren’t manipulated before certification. Certified images and videos provide:
- Guarantee of originality of the images
- Date of capture
- Integrity of the content, no manipulation/alteration
- Legal security and credibility
- Deterrent effect in claims and disputes
