Question 1

How does document fraud detection work?

Accepted Answer

We analyze multiple forensic signals: cryptographic hash verification (SHA-256) to detect any modifications, metadata analysis to check creation/modification dates and software, and pattern analysis to flag suspicious indicators like metadata stripping or timestamp inconsistencies.

Question 2

Can this detect Photoshopped documents?

Accepted Answer

We analyze metadata for signs of image editing software (Photoshop, GIMP, etc.) and flag documents that show signs of manipulation. While no tool is 100% foolproof, our forensic analysis catches most common tampering methods.

Question 3

Are the reports admissible in court?

Accepted Answer

Our reports document cryptographic hash values, metadata analysis, and forensic findings in a professional format. While admissibility depends on jurisdiction and case specifics, the reports provide the technical evidence attorneys need.

Question 4

Does this upload my documents to a server?

Accepted Answer

No. All forensic analysis happens 100% in your browser. Your documents never leave your device — we process everything client-side using JavaScript.
