Save a figure revision
A record is tied to an exact saved version of your figure, not to an arbitrary uploaded image.
FIGURE PROVENANCE · IN PREVIEW
Figure provenance & publication licensing
A verifiable record of the exact image that leaves ResearchFig—not a guarantee of journal acceptance.
HOW THE RECORD WORKS
From your final figure to a verifiable fingerprint.
Download a test PDF and PNG
The PDF contains a unique certificate number and QR link; the matching PNG has a SHA-256 fingerprint.
Verify without sharing the image
Use the public record lookup or hash a PNG locally in the browser. Verification never requires uploading your image.
IMPORTANT LIMITS
A record is not journal approval.
A provenance record is not copyright registration, proof of scientific accuracy, permission to reproduce third-party materials or journal acceptance. You remain responsible for checking source rights, AI disclosures and each journal’s policies.
Public verification does not reveal your figure, source files, prompts or account email. Production rights and model-provider licenses must be reviewed before real certificates can be issued.
