Know where your signed work appears. Then act on it.
Trace is in early access. It watches selected sites for your signed work and shows you each page it finds. Then you can ask for credit, offer a license, or follow up.
Find your work, then decide what to do.
Your stories, photos and videos get picked up by other sites. Trace shows you where, so each find can lead to a next step.
- Ask for credit
- A site ran your work. You have the page and the dates, so your request names exactly what you saw.
- Offer a license
- A site keeps using your work. Start the licensing talk with the page and dates in hand.
- Follow up on new sites
- Trace alerts you when your work turns up on a new site you do not own. Your team decides what happens next.
Trace looks for the same signed label Mark adds. Encypher's claim-signing and timestamp authorities sit on the official C2PA Trust ListsC2PA Trust List: The list of signing authorities that conforming C2PA checkers trust by default., and its generator product sits on the C2PA Conforming Products ListConforming Products List: The C2PA's public record of products that passed its conformance program..

How it works
Three steps, from signed work to a report you can act on.
Sign your work
Sign with Mark as you publish. The label is what Trace looks for.
Trace watches selected sites
Trace checks a chosen set of sites for your signed work and notes each page where it turns up.
Read the report and act
See each page, its match type, and when it was first and last seen. New sites you do not own come as alerts.
Where Trace stands today
Trace is in early access. Our team sets it up with you, and it has no price yet.
- It watches selected sites, not the whole web.
- It finds signed work only. A copy that lost its label will not show up.
- It does not report views, clicks, or other engagement yet.
Create. Mark. Endure.
