Sign Your Digital Art Like a Pro

Ever wished you could “sign” your digital artwork the way painters sign their canvases? Good news—now you can! Adobe’s Content Authenticity lets you apply Content Credentials to your digital files, adding an extra layer of transparency and security to your work. It is currently in beta testing and you can sign up on their website to get on their waitlist - I just got invited and tested it out.

This is a game-changer for digital artists, designers, and photographers who want to prove their authorship, protect their work, and build trust with their audience. Think of it as a digital signature that follows your art wherever it goes. You can add verified details to your artwork before sharing it online—helping prove authorship, build trust, and protect your creative work. And the best part? Your Content Credentials stay connected no matter where your files go.
