Visual work often begins long before it is shared, published, or delivered. Early drafts, sketches, and working files can be just as valuable as the final piece.
Proof of Date helps designers and artists establish when their work existed, without making it public or giving up control.
Why visual creators use Proof of Date
- Concepts are shared before contracts are finalized
- Revisions happen frequently
- Files pass through multiple hands
- Attribution disputes often arise later
By time-stamping your work as it evolves, you create a clear, independent record of your creative process.
What you can document
- Design files and source files
- Illustrations and sketches
- Artwork and visual concepts
- Logos and brand assets
- Early drafts and alternate versions
Each stage of creation matters. Proof of Date lets you document ideas from the moment they take shape.
Protect work before it is visible
Once visual work is published, copied, or reused, timelines can become unclear. Proof of Date allows you to establish authorship before exposure, when protection matters most.
Proof of Date does not replace copyright registration. It supports it by documenting early creation and development.
Maintain ownership and privacy
Your files remain private. Nothing is published or shared. You decide what to prove and when.
Sometimes all you need is a simple record that says:
“This design existed on this date.”
