Capture Eye provenance, in plain sight

Drop a single script tag onto your site and every Capture-registered asset gets a small "verified" badge that opens a full provenance panel — creator, time, location, edit history, licensing terms, and an x402 endpoint for AI agents.

What is Capture Eye?

Capture Eye is an embeddable web component (one script tag) that shows verifiable provenance information for any C2PA-signed, ERC-7053-registered media file on a public website. Visitors see a small badge; clicking it reveals creator identity, edit history, on-chain proof, and licensing terms.

Capabilities

What you get

One-line install

A single <script> tag activates Eye on every Capture-registered asset on the page. No manual tagging, no config, no rebuild.

Inline verification

Visitors verify content authenticity without leaving the page. Opens a panel showing creator DID, capture time, GPS, and a chain of cryptographic edits.

Licensing surface

For each asset, Eye also surfaces the x402 licensing endpoint — so AI agents can discover and pay for content in the same widget.

Brand-safe

Customise colours, position, and copy through CSS variables. Open-source — fork it if you need full control.

Who it's for

Built for these scenarios

News publishers

Show readers that every photo has been verified end-to-end. Earn trust during deepfake-driven news cycles.

Cultural archives

Museums and libraries display full provenance alongside scanned artefacts. Researchers can link straight to on-chain attestations.

Stock photography

Buyers see full edit history, licensing tiers, and compliance evidence inline — no separate page needed.

Quick start

Get integrated in minutes

<!-- Add Capture Eye to your site (one tag, anywhere in the body) -->
<script
  src="https://eye.captureapp.xyz/capture-eye.bundled.js"
  async>
</script>

<!-- Any image registered with Capture is automatically detected -->
<img src="/photo.jpg" alt="Verified">

Eye reads C2PA credentials from the file and ERC-7053 records from the chain. No metadata changes needed on your side.

Frequently asked

Capture Eye questions

Will Capture Eye slow down my site?

No. The widget is lazy-loaded — it activates only when an image enters the viewport, and it ships as a small (~63KB gzipped) self-contained bundle. Lighthouse scores are unaffected.

Does Capture Eye work on images that aren't registered with Capture?

It silently does nothing on unregistered images — they continue to display normally. Eye only shows the badge when it finds a valid C2PA credential or ERC-7053 record. You can mix registered and unregistered media on the same page without surprises.

How do users know they can trust the verification?

Capture Eye verifies signatures cryptographically in the user's browser using the official C2PA validation library. The on-chain check is a public RPC call to the Numbers Mainnet — anyone can independently reproduce both checks with open tools.

Is it really free?

Yes. Capture Eye is open source and has no usage caps. Capture earns revenue when visitors or AI agents purchase licenses through the x402 endpoints surfaced by Eye — a "free widget, paid licensing" business model.
