Impact of applying Content Credentials

Last updated on 3 Sep 2025

Learn about the impact of applying Content Credentials to your work using Adobe Content Authenticity (Beta).

  • Content Credentials are attached directly to your content files.
  • An invisible watermark is applied to your content, making it readable by the Adobe Content Authenticity (Beta) Chrome browser extension, even on websites that don’t yet support Content Credentials.
  • Your content is digitally fingerprinted with a small thumbnail stored in Adobe’s public Content Credentials cloud. This ensures recovery even if Content Credentials are removed or the content is captured in a screenshot.
  • Signed versions of your files are downloaded to your device, ready to be shared. You can always use these versions to view or recover the attached Content Credentials.
