How it works

Identify. Choose. Comply.

Whether your images are fully AI-generated or contain AI edits — like sky replacements or virtual staging — the EU AI Act requires machine-readable disclosure starting August 2, 2026.

01

Identify

Determine which of your images carry AI-generated or AI-edited content. Upload them to scan for existing C2PA manifests.

02

Choose your product

Use Image ID to cryptographically sign individual files with C2PA certificates. Use AI Badge to automatically verify and badge images already published on your website.

03

Comply

Download signed files ready for publishing, or verify your website images carry the required machine-readable disclosure. Ongoing compliance, automated.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between Image ID and AI Badge?

Image ID cryptographically signs individual files with C2PA provenance certificates. You upload a file, declare the AI model and modifications, and download a signed version with embedded metadata. AI Badge adds automatic C2PA verification badges to images already published on your website — one script tag surfaces badges on any image that carries a valid C2PA manifest with an AI-disclosure claim. They work together: sign with Image ID, badge with AI Badge.

Which product do I need?

If you generate or edit images with AI and need to publish compliant files — use Image ID. If your website already hosts images and you need to verify and label which ones contain AI-generated content — use AI Badge. Many customers use both: Image ID to sign their assets before publishing, and AI Badge to surface verification badges to site visitors.

What is EU AI Act Article 50?

Article 50 of the EU AI Act (Regulation EU 2024/1689) requires that AI-generated or AI-manipulated content — images, video, and audio — be marked in a machine-readable format so consumers can detect it as artificially generated. Enforcement starts August 2, 2026. Fines can reach EUR 15 million or 3% of global annual turnover, whichever is higher. NotarAI helps you meet this requirement with C2PA-based signing and verification.

Do I need a C2PA certificate for every image on my website?

Only for images that contain AI-generated or AI-edited content. This includes fully AI-generated images, as well as real photos that have been substantially altered with AI — sky replacements, virtual staging, face swaps, background removal, and similar edits all fall under Article 50 disclosure requirements. Image ID handles the signing, AI Badge handles the verification display.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. All plans — both Image ID and AI Badge — start with a 14-day free trial. You get full access to all features of the plan you select without being charged. Cancel anytime during the trial and you will not be billed.
