ProofSnap is a Chrome & Edge extension that captures web pages as court-admissible evidence in 41 seconds. Three capture options: single page, multi-tab browsing session (with per-tab forensic packages), or signed video proof (Auto, Manual, or Session-wide screen recording). Every capture includes a SHA-256 cryptographic hash, RSA-4096 digital signature, Bitcoin blockchain timestamp via OpenTimestamps, and a Provenance Certificate with 8 integrity checks for deepfake detection. In Australia, this speaks directly to what the uniform Evidence Acts ask of machine-produced documents: section 146 of the Evidence Act 1995 presumes that a device or process which ordinarily produces a particular outcome did so on the occasion in question. That presumption is rebuttable, so the practical question is how well the capture documents itself, which is exactly what a hash, a signature and an independent timestamp answer. Our guide to tribunal evidence works through this in detail. Note that section 147, the business-records equivalent, will not help here: subsection (3) excludes documents produced for or in contemplation of a proceeding, which is what a capture made for a dispute is. Section 146 is the provision that does the work. The same signed package strengthens an NCAT, VCAT or QCAT application, a Fair Work Commission file, a concerns notice under the uniform defamation laws, or a report to the eSafety Commissioner, Scamwatch or ReportCyber. If you have been dismissed, note that the Fair Work Commission deadline is 21 days and your system access usually goes on day one. Enterprise plans add eIDAS-qualified timestamps issued by Disig a.s., a Qualified Trust Service Provider on the EU Trusted List, for extra international weight. Evidence packages also line up with FRE 901 (US), eIDAS Article 41 (EU) and comparable rules in Germany, Italy and France. Pricing starts at $8.99/month with a 7-day free trial requiring a credit card. Used by lawyers, STR hosts, copyright enforcement firms, and compliance teams in 23 countries.

United States courts rejected screenshot evidence in US v. Vayner, Griffin v. State and Serrano v. Cruz-Angeles. The authentication gap they identified is the same one here.
File timestamps can be changed in seconds. Courts know this. Without a blockchain or eIDAS-qualified timestamp, you can't prove when you captured it.
Any screenshot can be edited in 10 seconds with AI. In Sept 2025, a California judge dismissed a case after discovering deepfaked video evidence. Without a SHA-256 hash, there's no way to prove yours is real.
Who captured it? When? On what device? How was it stored? Screenshots don't answer any of these questions. Under FRE 901 and eIDAS Art. 41, digital evidence requires authentication.

Built for how disputes start in Australia
Most Australian disputes never reach the Supreme Court. They start at NCAT, VCAT or QCAT, at the Fair Work Commission, or with a post that disappears the moment someone lawyers up. Australians reported A$2.18 billion in scam losses in 2025 alone. Whether you are filing a tribunal application, particularising serious harm in a concerns notice, or reporting to the eSafety Commissioner, ProofSnap locks the record in seconds, with a signed PDF and a SHA-256 hash that holds up when the other side says "that screenshot is fake".
Tenancy, strata, building and consumer disputes are decided on listings, inspection photos and message threads. Tribunals are not bound by the rules of evidence, but they still weigh reliability, and a landlord or trader who says the ad never said that is much harder to believe against a hashed, timestamped capture. See the detail in our guide to screenshots as evidence at NCAT, VCAT and QCAT.
Since 2021 you cannot start a defamation claim without a concerns notice, and you must show serious harm rather than assume it. That means proving what was published, by whom, and how far it spread. Capture the post, the account and the reach while the page is still live, because a deleted post is a deleted case. The deadlines and the serious harm test are set out in our guide to concerns notice evidence.
Australia is the only country with a regulator that can order platforms to remove image-based abuse, cyberbullying and adult cyber abuse. A report needs the URL and evidence of the content itself, and the material often vanishes while you are still filling in the form. Capture it first, report second, as explained in our guide to evidence for an eSafety report.
Investment scams alone cost Australians A$837.7 million in 2025, and payment redirection another A$166.8 million. Lock the listing, the price, the promised delivery, the fake dashboard and the chat before the account disappears, so your bank dispute, Scamwatch report and ReportCyber lodgement all rest on the same signed package. Our guide to scam evidence in Australia sets out what to capture and in what order.
If you are dealing with a single scam or one bad actor, a one-off SnapPack is a single up-front purchase, with no subscription, no auto-renewal, and no trial. Or send us the link and our team captures the court-ready package for you, no install required.

Most web-evidence tools force you to depend on them. ProofSnap evidence is self-verifiable: anyone with the ZIP can confirm authenticity using open standards (SHA-256, OpenTimestamps, eIDAS), with or without ProofSnap continuing to exist.
| ProofSnap | Page Vault / Pagefreezer | Notary / Wayback Machine | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Verifiable without the vendor? | Yes, SHA-256 + OpenTimestamps work forever | No, verification requires their portal | No, depends on archive availability |
| What if the vendor disappears? | Evidence still valid | Evidence becomes hard to defend | Wayback can be wiped on request |
| Independent court-expert verification | Any IT expert, in 60 seconds | Requires vendor cooperation | Requires manual screenshot |
| Cryptographic proof in the file itself | Yes, open standards (SHA-256, OTS, eIDAS) | Proprietary format | None |

Independent legal opinion · 21 April 2026
The opinion was prepared by SEDLAKOVA LEGAL s.r.o. (Brno, Czech Bar Association, Company ID 05669871) under EU law (Regulation 910/2014, eIDAS) with reference to Czech civil procedure. Cross-references to the US Federal Rules of Evidence (FRE 901, 902(13)-(14), proposed FRE 707) and the English Civil Procedure Rules (CPR 32, 35) added by the ProofSnap team for orientation of common-law readers.
FRE 901 · FRE 902(13)-(14) · CPR 32 · eIDAS Art. 41
ProofSnap outputs are usable as means of evidence in civil, criminal and administrative proceedings. Authentication satisfied under FRE 901 / 902 in the US, CPR 32 in the UK, and free evaluation of evidence in EU systems, reinforced by US case law (Vayner, Lorraine v. Markel, Mendones).
Notarial deed · Court reporter affidavit
The opinion describes ProofSnap as "a suitable and economical alternative" to notarial fact certification of website state. Court-reporter affidavits and notarial deeds (US $200-500, UK £200-800) require waiting time during which content can disappear; ProofSnap captures immediately with cryptographic integrity.
eIDAS Art. 41(2) · Regulation (EU) 910/2014
The qualified eIDAS timestamp issued by Disig a.s., a Qualified Trust Service Provider on the EU Trusted List, carries the statutory presumption of accuracy of date, time and data integrity, shifting the burden of disproof to the opposing party, directly across all 27 EU Member States.
“The outputs of the ProofSnap service are, from the perspective of Czech procedural law and the EU legal framework, generally usable as means of evidence in any type of proceedings.”
Conclusion of the legal opinion, SEDLAKOVA LEGAL s.r.o., 21 April 2026
The opinion is publicly accessible, no registration. The conclusions express the legal view of the author and do not constitute binding legal advice.
ProofSnap's eIDAS qualified timestamps shift the legal burden. Under EU Regulation 910/2014, Article 41, your evidence is legally presumed accurate, and the opposing party must prove otherwise.

Evidence disappears. Messages get deleted. Pages go offline. Every day you wait is a day your evidence is at risk.
Australia never finished harmonising its evidence law, so the rule that helps you depends on the forum. The practical effect is the same everywhere: nobody has to accept a bare image file, and a record that documents its own integrity is worth more than one that does not.
Uniform Evidence Acts
Commonwealth, NSW, Victoria, Tasmania, the ACT and the Northern Territory. Section 146 presumes that a process or device which ordinarily produces a given outcome did so this time. The presumption is rebuttable, which is where the hash and the timestamp earn their keep. Section 147, the business-records equivalent, is no help for a litigation capture: subsection (3) excludes documents made for or in contemplation of a proceeding.
Queensland, WA, South Australia
Outside the uniform scheme, each applying its own Evidence Act. The authentication question is put differently, but it is still the same question: can you show the record is what you say it is, and that it has not changed since.
Tribunals: NCAT, VCAT, QCAT and the rest
Not bound by the rules of evidence, so your screenshot gets in. Getting in is not the same as being believed. A member deciding between two accounts will prefer the one that can be independently verified in a browser.
Electronic Transactions Act 1999
Confirms that electronic form and electronic signatures satisfy legal requirements, provided the method identifies the signer and is as reliable as appropriate in the circumstances. States and territories have their own mirror Acts.
An honest note on eIDAS: Australia has no equivalent of the European qualified timestamp regime, so our eIDAS timestamp carries no automatic presumption in an Australian court. It is corroboration from an independent, audited third party, not a legal shortcut. What does the work here is the hash, the signature and the blockchain anchor, all of which anyone can verify without trusting us.
Prices are charged in USD. The approximate Australian figure shown under each price is for orientation only, converted at about A$1.43 to US$1. Your card issuer sets the actual rate on the day. The 7-day trial requires a credit card. Prefer not to subscribe? A one-off SnapPack is a single up-front purchase, with no subscription, no auto-renewal and no trial.

Regular screenshots can be challenged in court because they carry no proof of when they were taken or whether they have been altered. Australian law helps, but it does not do the work for you. Under the uniform Evidence Acts, section 146 creates a rebuttable presumption that a device or process which ordinarily produces a particular outcome produced that outcome on the occasion in question, while section 147, the business-records equivalent, is expressly unavailable for a document produced for or in contemplation of a proceeding, which is what a litigation capture is. Because the section 146 presumption is rebuttable, the other side is free to argue that an image file says nothing about when it was made or what was edited. Note that the uniform scheme covers the Commonwealth, NSW, Victoria, Tasmania, the ACT and the Northern Territory, while Queensland, Western Australia and South Australia apply their own Evidence Acts. Tribunals such as NCAT, VCAT and QCAT are not bound by the rules of evidence at all, but they still weigh how reliable a record looks.
ProofSnap addresses this by creating a forensic evidence package containing a SHA-256 hash proving the content has not been modified, an RSA-4096 digital signature for authenticity, a blockchain timestamp proving when the capture happened, and full metadata including the URL, the browser and the capture time in UTC. That gives a court or a tribunal member something concrete to weigh, and it makes the section 146 presumption far harder to rebut than a plain image file.
ProofSnap uses three layers of cryptographic protection:
Together, these mechanisms create a chain of integrity that proves the evidence is authentic, unaltered, and was captured at a specific point in time.
The eIDAS 2 regulation (EU 2024/1183) is fully rolling out by the end of 2026, establishing stricter standards for electronic identification, digital signatures, and qualified electronic timestamps across all EU member states.
Under Article 41, qualified electronic timestamps enjoy a legal presumption of accuracy for the date and time they indicate, and the integrity of the data to which the timestamp is linked. This means evidence timestamped with a qualified service is admissible across all EU courts.
ProofSnap's cryptographic proofs align with eIDAS 2 requirements: SHA-256 hashing for data integrity, RSA-4096 digital signatures for authenticity, and blockchain timestamps via OpenTimestamps for independent time verification. This makes ProofSnap evidence packages suitable for legal proceedings in any EU jurisdiction.
