Bitcoin-anchored proof of existence

Prove it existed.
Forever.

Drop in any file and walk away with a timestamp that anyone can check — and that keeps working even if this site disappears.

Your file never leaves your device. We only ever see its fingerprint, anchored to Bitcoin so the date can't be forged or revoked.

Three steps · about ten seconds

No accounts to verify. No files to upload. No trust required.

The whole point is that you don't have to take our word for anything. Here's the entire process.

01 / Hash

Your file is fingerprinted

Your browser computes a SHA-256 fingerprint of the file on your own device. The file itself stays with you — only the fingerprint travels.

02 / Anchor

The fingerprint goes to Bitcoin

We commit that fingerprint into the Bitcoin blockchain through OpenTimestamps. Once it's in, the date is fixed and can't be backdated, edited, or quietly removed.

03 / Verify

Anyone can check it, anytime

You get a receipt that proves your file existed by that date. It checks out against Bitcoin directly — no Orphograph account, server, or company needed.

Honest by design

What a receipt does — and doesn't — say

A proof tool is only worth anything if it never overstates. So here's the exact line, plainly.

It proves

  • This exact file existed in this exact form on or before a specific date.
  • The date is fixed to Bitcoin and can't be moved earlier or later after the fact.
  • The proof survives you, the platform you stored it on, and us.

It does not claim

  • Who made the file, or that you're its author.
  • That it's admissible or decisive in any legal or institutional process.
  • Anything about whether a tool or person believes the file is "real."

A timestamp answers one question — did this exist yet? — and answers it without asking anyone to trust you. That's a narrow promise we can keep completely, which is exactly why it holds up.

Who anchors files

For the moment you'll wish you'd dated it

Photographers

Delivering a client shoot

Anchor the finished gallery the day you hand it over, so the set of frames you delivered is fixed in time — before anyone re-edits or re-shares it.

Writers & freelancers

Drafts before the deadline

Stamp a draft when you finish it. If questions come up later about when a version existed, the date is already settled and checkable.

Journalists

Source material and notes

Fix the date a document or recording was in your hands, without putting the file itself anywhere it could leak.

Archivists & makers

Anything worth keeping

Designs, records, research, masters. If it would matter to show it existed by a certain date, ten seconds now beats reconstructing it later.

Trust nothing — check everything

The proof outlives us on purpose

The verifier is open source, MIT-licensed, and runs entirely on your own machine. If Orphograph vanished tomorrow, every receipt ever issued would still check out against Bitcoin.

A receipt is a small file. Anyone you hand it to can confirm — for themselves, offline — that the fingerprint was committed to Bitcoin by the date it claims. No login. No call home. No dependency on this company continuing to exist.

# verify a receipt against Bitcoin, locally
$ orphograph-verify gallery-2026.ots

# fingerprint matches the anchored commitment
hash    8f3c…a91d   ok
anchor  Bitcoin block 954,120
date    existed on or before
        2026-06-17 17:14 UTC   ok

Questions

The short answers

Do my files get uploaded anywhere?+

No. Your browser computes the fingerprint locally and only the fingerprint is sent. The file stays on your device the whole time — that's why we can never read, leak, or lose it.

What can I actually do with a receipt?+

Show, to anyone, that a specific file existed by a specific date — and let them confirm it independently. It speaks to timing, not authorship, and it isn't a legal determination. It's a checkable fact about when, nothing more and nothing less.

What happens if Orphograph shuts down?+

Your receipts keep working. They verify against Bitcoin through open-source software you can run yourself, so the proof has no dependency on us staying online. That permanence is the entire design.

Why Bitcoin specifically?+

Because once a fingerprint is committed there, the date can't be quietly rewritten by anyone — including us. It's the most durable, hardest-to-forge public record available for this kind of timestamp.

Do I need to understand any of the crypto parts?+

Not at all. Drop a file, get a receipt, keep it. The technical detail is here for the curious, but using the product never requires it.
