Every file you share carries a story you didn't write.
Photos embed GPS coordinates, device fingerprints, and encoder signatures. Videos carry GPS tracks, audio trails, and codec identifiers. That's forensic data — already there, in files you've taken, sent, and stored.
What's already in your files
What sits inside ordinary photos and videos. Cards marked “See the real case” come from our own files.

Straight off the phone, one photo gave away the place, the time to the second and the time zone. Read the pin as “near here”: phone GPS is often accurate only to tens or hundreds of metres.

iPhone: exact phone and lens
Neither copy carried a location, yet each gave something away. Collected across the photos someone shares over time, details like these narrow down who, when and where.
See the real caseGPS time mismatch: 10,823 s
Authenticity A → B
We moved the capture time three hours in a copy. The satellite time the phone saved with the location stayed put, so the two clocks no longer agreed in Melbourne’s time zone.

The full movement path during recording is embedded frame by frame — every pause, every turn, the full route from start to end of the clip.
Make, model, lens, date: gone
Encoder: FFmpeg (desktop software)
One trim with a free video tool removed the phone, the lens and the moment recording began, and named the software that wrote the copy. Re-encoding isn’t faking, but it’s no longer the file that came off the phone.

→ Environment identifiable
Background acoustic signatures identify the recording environment. Speech harmonics outside the primary track indicate other voices were present during recording.
A photo captures everyone in frame — not just the intended subject. The people visible in the background of this shared photo had no knowledge they were being photographed, let alone shared publicly.
Every report includes an AI verdict built from Content Credentials, AI declarations in the file's own metadata, known generator watermarks and a trained pixel analysis that works when labels are stripped. It reads A only with signed proof of a camera capture and D when there is AI evidence — what the evidence supports, not just what's missing.
See the real case
Video captures context that a still image cannot — a screen glimpsed in a reflection, a notification visible in the background, private text readable for a single frame. What was incidental to the person recording was entirely private to someone else.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does forensic analysis actually find?
snapWONDERS performs 80+ checks on photos and videos. In photos: GPS coordinates, device and camera fingerprints, DQT encoder signatures, Error Level Analysis for tamper detection, steganography detection, and hidden metadata. AI detection gives an AI verdict built from Content Credentials, AI declarations in the file's own metadata, known generator watermarks and a trained pixel analysis that works when labels are stripped. When faces are detected, each also gets a face authenticity reading. In videos: GPS tracks logged frame by frame, audio environment fingerprints, encoder signatures unique to the recording device, codec anomalies, container integrity, and a physics-based motion check for AI-generated video. Every report also includes an Originality score (0–100) listing each reading that counted and by how much. Results are instant, free, and require no account.
What is Vaultify?
Vaultify is a steganography tool by snapWONDERS. It hides any file — documents, photos, videos, or archives — invisibly inside a normal-looking photo or video using AES-256 encryption. The carrier file looks and works like any ordinary image or video. Only someone with the correct password and the Vaultify Reveal tool can extract the hidden content.
Does snapWONDERS work on Tor and I2P?
Yes. All snapWONDERS tools — forensic analysis, Vaultify steganography, and media conversion — are available simultaneously on the clearnet, the Tor network (.onion), and I2P. All tools are fully supported across all three networks. Tor and I2P addresses are listed in the footer.
Is it free to use?
Yes. All tools are free with no account required. Upload your files, use the tool, and download the result — no registration, no subscription, no cost. Create a free account to track your jobs and revisit past results.
How does Vaultify protect hidden content?
Vaultify encrypts your payload with AES-256 before embedding it. The encryption key is derived from your passphrase using Argon2id key stretching, resistant to brute-force. The encrypted payload is embedded using LSB steganography across the carrier's pixel data. Files are permanently deleted from Vaultify servers when your session ends — nothing is retained.
