Import. Sign. Publish.

01 / 03

Step 01

Import

Drop in a photo, video, PDF, SVG or audio file. HEIC and camera RAW are converted on the way in.

Step 02

Sign and watermark

C2PA Content Credentials and an invisible creator watermark are added automatically, with your real name and business.

Step 03

Publish or schedule

Post now, or queue it on the built-in calendar for Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.

Human work can get labeled as AI, or credited to no one at all.

01

Mislabeled, not credited

AI-assisted edits can be labeled as AI-generated with no record of the human who directed the work.

02

EXIF often does not survive re-upload

Many platforms remove or rewrite standard metadata on upload, so the creator and copyright details in a file can disappear. What is kept varies by platform and workflow.

03

Copies lose their trail

A re-uploaded copy can lose the details that point back to the business that made it, so credit is easy to miss.

New in version 2.5: more than photos.

The studio now signs, converts and renders more kinds of media. Hover or tap a card.

Sign

PDF, SVG and audio

Content Credentials now cover PDF, SVG, MP3, WAV and M4A, alongside JPG, PNG, WebP and MP4.

Convert

HEIC, HEIF and camera RAW

Turn iPhone and Canon RAW photos into PNG, JPG, WebP or BMP before they are signed.

Render

Blender 3D render panel

Render a .blend file to a still image or an MP4 in the background, with Blender's window closed.

Update

Updates inside the app

The studio checks for new versions itself, so you stay current without reinstalling.

One app. Every step of the workflow.

These are real screens from the app, not mockups.

What it signs and what it converts.

What people and AI agents need to know.

Short, specific answers to the questions that come before a download.

What is Smart Media C2PA Studio?

A native Windows desktop app that adds C2PA Content Credentials and an invisible creator watermark to photos, video, PDFs and more, then helps publish or schedule them to connected social accounts.

Who is it for?

Small businesses, creators and marketing teams who need a clearer record of human authorship when preparing media for online publishing.

Which file types can it sign?

JPG, JPEG, PNG and WebP images, MP4 video, PDF documents, SVG graphics and MP3, WAV and M4A audio.

How are C2PA Content Credentials different from EXIF metadata?

EXIF is standard file metadata that platforms may remove during upload. C2PA Content Credentials are signed provenance information intended to make a file's origin and editing history verifiable.

What is the difference between visible and invisible watermarking?

A visible watermark shows your logo and stays visible in screenshots. The invisible watermark carries creator details in the pixels without visibly changing the image, and is verified inside the app.

Does a Content Credential prove I own the copyright?

No. Content Credentials are signed provenance information: who signed a file, with which tool, and what edits were recorded. That is evidence of origin, not proof of copyright, which depends on the law and your own records. Whether credentials or watermarks survive an upload varies by platform, so keep your original signed files.

Does it remove or change AI-generation labels?

No. The app preserves legitimate AI-generation tags and copyright metadata. It adds human authorship context and does not strip or falsify existing provenance.

Can it convert HEIC, HEIF or camera RAW photos?

Yes. iPhone HEIC and HEIF files and Canon RAW files can be converted to PNG, JPG, WebP or BMP before they are signed.

What does the Blender 3D render panel do?

It renders a .blend file to a still image or an MP4 in the background, with Blender's window closed. Scripts inside the .blend file are blocked. Blender is free and is detected on your computer.

Can it publish to Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn?

Yes. You connect your existing accounts with a real login, with no developer account needed, then publish now or schedule on the built-in calendar.

Does it work on a Mac?

Not currently. It is a native desktop app for Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Do viewers need special software?

No. The media looks and plays normally. Reading the invisible creator information requires Smart Media C2PA Studio's inspector and the matching license key.

How do updates work?

The app checks for new versions itself, and the license includes free updates.

Is there a free trial, and what does it cost?

A full 5-day trial is available without a license key. The current price is $79.99 as a one-time purchase for one Windows PC. The terms shown at checkout are the authority.

What happens if I lose my license key?

Contact support and we will resend it to the email address used at purchase.
