About Reconize

In one line

Reconize helps creators prove their work is theirs.

Short description (about 40 words)

Reconize is a Mac app that puts your name and an invisible mark inside your photos, videos and music, so anyone can check who made them. The mark survives crops, screenshots and re-uploads. Checking a file is free.

Long description (about 150 words)

Your work gets shared, cropped and stripped of your name. With AI fakes everywhere, people want to know what's real and who made it. Reconize, a Mac app, seals your name into every photo, video, song or document you sign, using Content Credentials, the open standard backed by the Content Authenticity Initiative. It also hides an invisible mark in the picture and the sound itself, so your credit survives the crops, screenshots and re-uploads that erase a normal watermark. Anyone can check a file for free, in the app or in any browser. Sending a cut or a track before it's public? Send & Track gives each person their own marked copy, so a leak points back to whose copy it was. Everything happens on your Mac: no uploads, no account.

Founder

Robert Angelo

Robert Angelo spent his career in digital media at NBC.com, rising from digital producer to director to VP of digital production. He was a producer on the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon Digital Experience, which won Emmys in 2009 and 2010. After years of watching creators' work spread online without their names on it, he built Reconize so anyone can prove what they made, and anyone else can check.
