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.
