How do I check Content Credentials on an image?
How do I check Content Credentials on an image? I have a folder of about forty scans and photos that a donor sent us as a download link, and some of them were supposedly made with editing tools that sign their output. I work in digital collections at a small museum, and before anything goes into the catalogue I want to know whether a signed record is attached and what it says.

Creatisimo, "How do I check Content Credentials on an image?", https://creatisimo.net/topic/how-do-i-check-content-credentials-on-an-image/, accessed 2026-10-31.I have tried two things so far. I right-clicked a file and opened its properties, which showed camera details on some files and nothing useful on others. I also took a screenshot of one picture in my browser and dropped that into a checker, which found nothing.
So what is the actual routine? Which file do I check, which tool reads the record, and how do I tell "no credential was ever attached" from "the credential was lost on the way to me"? I would like a method I can write into our ingest checklist.
Write something first.
Give people something to work with: at least 30 words on what happened and what you tried.
That is too long. Keep it under 6,000 characters.
Write the question as the title, 15 to 140 characters, no links.
Pick a category.
Add a name (2 to 40 characters, no links).
