Is EverCert free to use?

Yes. EverCert is free to use and does not require an account. You can create and verify proofs at no cost.

Do you upload my document when creating a proof?

No. Your file never leaves your device. Only a secure fingerprint is sent to create the document proof.

Is the proof permanent?

Yes. Once created, your proof cannot be changed. After it is anchored to Bitcoin, it becomes a permanent, independently verifiable record.

Can I verify a proof without EverCert?

Yes. Your proof works independently. You can verify it yourself using free, open-source tools.

Why does verification sometimes say "pending"?

Proofs are created immediately and later anchored to Bitcoin. Until that happens, the timestamp proof is valid, but verification will show as pending.

What is document proof?

Document proof shows that a file existed at a specific point in time — without sharing the file itself.

The document stays private and under your control.

Definition

Document proof answers a simple question:

"Can I show that this file already existed at a certain time?"

Common uses

People use document proof to:

Protect ideas before sharing them
Show authorship or originality
Verify records or files
Show that a document hasn't been changed

What it is not

Document proof is:

Not file storage
Not a contract
Not public disclosure

Your file is never uploaded or shared.

How it works

Your file is turned into a secure fingerprint
The fingerprint is used to create a timestamp proof
The proof can be verified later, without seeing the file

EverCert helps create and verify document proof in a private, independent way.

You keep your files.

You keep your proof.
