Was this file made by Castmanor's AI?
This free tool checks whether an image, video or audio file was created or altered by Castmanor's AI system, and shows the provenance data found in it. No sign-in. We delete your file seconds after the check and do not keep your link.

What this tool can and cannot tell you
- It looks for the credentials, marks and records Castmanor adds to the files its AI makes or alters.
- "No Castmanor provenance found" does not mean a file was not made by AI. Other tools make AI files too, and marks can be lost when a file is re-saved or re-encoded.
- Small edits such as changing brightness, contrast or colour, sharpening, resizing, scaling, cropping, converting the file format, or removing background noise from audio are not treated as altering a file.
- Other tools that read content credentials may show "unknown signer" for our files, because our signing certificate is not on their trust lists. This tool checks files against our published root certificate.
Use it from a program
curl --data-binary @yourfile.mp4 -H 'Content-Type: video/mp4' \
https://verify.castmanor.com/api/verify
curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"url":"https://example.com/yourfile.mp4"}' \
https://verify.castmanor.com/api/verify
The answer is JSON: result is castmanor, none_found or inconclusive, with the evidence used and the provenance record when there is one. Files up to 100 MB for video and 25 MB for images and audio, as the request body or by link (curl -F file=@yourfile works up to 30 MB). To read the record of a Castmanor ID: GET /api/verify/<id>.
Privacy
The file or link you give is used only to answer this check. A file is held on our servers only while it is checked and is deleted seconds after the check; if a step fails, a cleanup job removes it within ten minutes. We do not keep personal information from this tool. To stop abuse, a rate limiter holds a scrambled form of your network address in memory for up to one minute. We count checks (the outcome, the kind of file, a size range) without recording who made them. Our network provider handles connection data, such as your IP address, to deliver this page and protect it from misuse.
