About Verified Capture

Proof a photo is real, from the moment it's taken.

Verified Capture puts a digital seal on insurance claim photos the instant they are taken. If anyone changes the photo later, even slightly, the seal breaks and everyone can see it.

See how it works Our story

Why it's needed

A photo used to be proof.
Now it's a question.

Claims are decided on photos. But today anyone with a phone can change a picture in seconds, and the result looks just as real as the original.

Edited photos

Damage can be added, enlarged or erased with free apps that take no skill to use.

Recycled photos

Old pictures from a past storm, another house, or the internet get submitted as new.

AI-generated images

AI tools can create a convincing damage photo of something that never happened.

Trying to spot a fake by eye is slow and unreliable. Verified Capture flips the question: instead of hunting for fakes, it proves the real photos are real.

How it works

Four steps. About a minute.

No app to install, no training to sit through. Here is everything that happens.

Send a link

Your firm sends the homeowner its own secure capture link by text or email.

Adjuster

Take the photo

The link opens the phone's live camera. There is no upload button, so only a brand new photo can be sent.

Homeowner

Sealed instantly

The moment it arrives, we lock the photo together with the name, policy number and exact time.

Automatic

Check and share

Your team reviews it in a private dashboard, checks the seal in one click, and exports a proof receipt.

Your team

The seal, in plain English

Like a tamper-proof evidence bag for photos.

When police collect evidence, they seal it in a bag that shows if anyone opened it. Verified Capture does the same thing for a photo.

Every photo gets a fingerprint

A unique code made from every single pixel. Two different photos never share one.

The fingerprint is locked with a signature

We sign it, along with who took it and when, using a private key only our server holds.

Anyone can check it later

If the photo changes, its fingerprint no longer matches the signed one. The mismatch is instant and obvious.

Seal intact

Seal broken

The two photos look identical to the eye. Their fingerprints do not.

What makes it different

We don't guess. We prove.

AI fake detectors

Guess after the fact

Study a finished photo and estimate whether it looks fake
Give a confidence score, not a clear answer
Fall behind every time AI image tools improve

Verified Capture

Prove it at the moment of capture

Seals the photo as it is taken, before anyone can touch it
A simple yes or no: the seal is intact or it is broken
Works the same no matter how good AI tools get

How Verified Capture started

It started with a simple question: how do you know a photo is real?

Verified Capture was founded in 2026 by Alex Graden. Alex's career is in IT, where the job is making sure the right people can reach the right things, and that there is a trustworthy record of everything that happens. In that world, you don't take anything on faith. You prove it.

Living in Florida, Alex saw how much rides on a single photo of storm damage. At the same time, editing apps and AI image tools were making it easier than ever to create a picture that looks real but isn't. Adjusters were being asked to play detective, squinting at photos and hoping to catch a fake.

Instead of trying to catch fakes after the fact, why not prove the real photos at the moment they're taken?

That idea became Verified Capture: a link any homeowner can open on their phone, a camera that only takes live pictures, and a digital seal applied the instant a photo arrives. It is built for small, owner-operated adjusting firms that need proof they can stand behind, without an IT department to set it up.

Claim photos are seen only by the firm handling the claim. We never sell data or use it to train AI.

Simple for everyone

If a homeowner can open a text message, they can use it. If your team can use email, they can run it.
