Use case

Verified photos for dating and social identity

Dating and social apps often ask people to trust profile images that may be old, filtered, edited, or synthetic. Realz gives people a simple way to share a fresh photo with a public proof.

Why social image trust is getting harder

Filters, retouching, image generators, and impersonation tools make it harder to know whether a profile image reflects a real recent moment. Realz provides a proof path for people who want to share a photo that others can verify publicly.

How Realz helps

  • Capture a fresh photo directly inside Realz.
  • Create a proof for the captured photo.
  • Share a verification link instead of relying on a screenshot.
  • Make the distinction clear between “I uploaded this” and “I captured this in Realz”.

What Realz does not claim

Realz is not legal identity verification and does not prove every claim a person makes about themselves. It provides a photo proof signal for images captured in Realz.

Practical workflow

A person asks for a Realz photo. The other person captures one in the app, creates the proof, and shares the verification link. The recipient can inspect the proof without installing Realz.

Questions people ask

Can Realz prove someone looks exactly like their photo?

Realz can prove the photo path more strongly than a normal image upload. It does not make subjective judgments about appearance, identity, or intent.

Is the proof public?

Photos are private until shared. When a user shares a proof, Realz publishes a verification link and public thumbnail.
