Verification
PixlKey verification is about giving your work a clean, repeatable “paper trail” — so you can show what was processed, what was produced, and how it ties back to the details you provided.
What “verification” means here
PixlKey doesn’t claim to “prove” authorship by magic — it creates consistent outputs and identifiers that make later checks practical: for you, a client, a collector, or a licensing partner.
What gets tied together
- Creator-provided details (title, creator name, edition/notes, licensing intent).
- Processing settings (watermark/QR choices and generated derivatives).
- Generated identifiers/fingerprints associated with the exported artefacts.
What you can verify later
- That a shared derivative matches a known PixlKey output for that artwork.
- That the metadata/licensing artefacts correspond to the same processed record.
- That the work’s “receipts” are consistent across versions you distribute.
What verification won’t do
- It won’t stop unauthorised copying or scraping.
- It won’t replace contracts, counsel, or platform enforcement.
- It won’t solve identity disputes on its own — it strengthens your documentation trail.
Recommended sharing workflow
Treat the signed/processed outputs as what you distribute. Keep originals private. When someone needs proof, point them to the artefacts: the watermark/QR attribution, the embedded metadata, and the licence/certificate-style documentation generated by the pipeline.
Practical mindset: verification is strongest when your public-facing images are PixlKey derivatives — the ones that already carry attribution, context, and consistency.
