Your work is human. A filter says otherwise.
Marketplaces and platforms increasingly auto-flag uploads as “AI-generated”. The detectors are often wrong, and when they flag your work there’s usually no real way to appeal. Here’s how to prove you made it.
What happened
An automated filter looked at your finished file and made a guess. Detectors judge the result, not how it was made, and they are often wrong.
When they flag human-made work, there’s usually no real way to appeal. You lose listings, income and reputation over a guess.
First, keep everything. Don’t delete originals, working files, drafts or process photos. They are what proves you made the work.
Evidence that proves you made it
A detector can’t see how a work was made. Your files can.
RAW or original camera files
The unedited capture, with its metadata intact.
Layered project files
Your working files with their layers, showing the structure a flat export throws away.
Progress shots and process video
The work at different stages, from first marks to finish.
Edit histories
Version histories or app timelines that show the work being built up over time.
Device-signed capture
Photos or video signed by the camera or device at capture. With supporting evidence, this reaches L3, Device Verified.
A live capture session
Working in real time with challenge codes, checked by two reviewers. This is L4, Live Verified.
You don’t need all of it. The more you can show, the higher the level of your certificate.
How a certificate helps your appeal
- 1
Submit your work and your evidence
Upload the piece and what you already have: RAW files, layered project files, progress shots or a capture session.
- 2
A person reviews it
Not an AI guess. A reviewer checks your evidence of human authorship against a published standard and makes a decision.
- 3
You get proof you can point to
A cryptographically signed certificate and an invisible watermark that survives reposting, listed in a public registry you can send to any platform, client or buyer.
In your appeal
Send the platform your certificate link. Anyone can check it in the public registry, including the platform that flagged you.
What this is
Positive proof of human authorship, established from evidence and reviewed by a person, then signed, watermarked and publicly verifiable.
What this isn’t
An AI detector. We don’t guess whether something is AI. We establish, with evidence, that a specific work was made by a human, and give you a record to prove it.
