Or we do it for you

You send a link or the files. We send back a signed, timestamped package a Nigerian court can check, within 24 hours.

A chat export is the file the app gives you when you tap Export chat. We render it as a readable transcript, hash every file and timestamp the result, so the other side cannot argue the messages were edited.

ProofSnap is a Chrome and Edge extension that captures a web page, WhatsApp chat or dashboard as court-admissible digital evidence in 41 seconds. Every capture carries a SHA-256 hash, an RSA-4096 signature and a Bitcoin timestamp, so a Nigerian court gets the integrity proof that section 84 of the Evidence Act 2011 requires before a computer-generated document is admitted.

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 Nigeria, this directly supports the test courts apply to computer-generated evidence under section 84 of the Evidence Act 2011 (expanded by the Evidence (Amendment) Act 2023): such a document is admissible only when its integrity is shown, typically by a section 84(4) certificate of compliance, and any sign the record was altered can make it inadmissible. The same signed package plugs straight into an EFCC fraud petition or a police report. 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.

Why courts reject screenshots

In Kubor v. Dickson (2013) 4 NWLR (Pt. 1345) 534 the Supreme Court of Nigeria held that a computer-generated document tendered from the bar, without evidence establishing the conditions in section 84(2) of the Evidence Act 2011, is inadmissible. A screenshot fails on exactly those points. Here is why.

No timestamp proof

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.

No tampering detection

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.

No chain of custody

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.

Your screenshot

  • 1 JPEG file, no proof it's real
  • No timestamp, could have been taken anytime
  • Editable in Photoshop in 10 seconds
  • "Anyone could have made this", judge

ProofSnap evidence package

  • Up to 15 files, screenshot, HTML, metadata, forensic log
  • Blockchain timestamp, immutable proof of when
  • Video of capture + Provenance Certificate
  • Chain of custody, court-ready under FRE 901

Built for how disputes start in Nigeria

Capture it before they delete it

Most Nigerian disputes never begin in a courtroom. They begin with a chat, a listing, or a post that vanishes the moment it matters. Whether you are filing an EFCC petition, a police report, or a case under the Evidence Act 2011, ProofSnap locks the record in seconds, with a signed PDF and a SHA-256 hash that stands up when the other side says "that screenshot is fake".

EFCC fraud petition

The EFCC accepts petitions in writing and through its Eagle Eye reporting app, launched in July 2021. Capture the scammer's chat, profile, and payment request as a signed evidence PDF and attach it, so the investigator gets a complete record instead of a loose set of screenshots.

Instagram, WhatsApp & Jiji vendor scams

"Pay first, I go send am." Then the account disappears. Lock the listing, the price, the delivery promise, and the chat before the vendor blocks you or deletes the post, so you have proof of exactly what was agreed.

Defamation & cyberstalking claims

Section 24 of the Cybercrimes Act (as amended in 2024) is still used over online posts, and the post is often deleted before anyone can act. Whether you are the target of a false post or answering a claim, preserve the exact content, URL, and timestamp while it is still live.

Omonile & land fraud

Double allocation and "sold to two buyers" disputes turn on what was promised. Before you report or brief a lawyer, preserve the WhatsApp negotiations, allocation letters, receipts, and marketing posts as one signed, tamper-evident package.

Just one dispute? You do not need a subscription.

If you are dealing with a single scam or one bad actor, a one-time 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.

Don't trust us. Trust the math.

Three vendor approaches. One critical difference.

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.

As AI-generated content floods the web, courts increasingly question whether digital evidence is real. The Provenance Certificate and C2PA manifest prove your capture is authentic, not AI-generated or manipulated. Required under EU AI Act Art. 50 (Aug 2026).

Video of Capture

capture_video.webm

Screen recording included in the evidence package, three modes:

  • Auto: records the capture process (~60s), page scroll, screenshots, metadata extraction.
  • Manual: press Start before playing media on the page (live stream, infringer video, deepfake), Stop & Capture when done. Up to 5 min on Essential / Pro, 10 min on Enterprise / Company.
  • Session: multi-tab. Records continuously while you browse across multiple tabs, then bundles a per-tab forensic package for every visited tab (full-page screenshot, HTML, DOM, DNS, WHOIS, TLS, signed evidence.pdf) into one signed ZIP.

All three modes hash the recorded video into the signed manifest, any single-frame change breaks the signature. Available on all plans.

SESSION CAPTURE

Multi-tab forensics in one ZIP

Record across tabs. Every visited http(s) tab gets its own forensic folder (screenshot, HTML, DOM, DNS, WHOIS, TLS, signed evidence.pdf) inside a single signed, blockchain-timestamped ZIP with a session-wide video.

Use cases: multi-platform fraud, IP theft across domains, employment claims, regulator portal audits.

What a qualified timestamp is worth in a Nigerian court

Straight answer first: Nigeria is not an EU member state, so the presumption in Article 41(2) of Regulation (EU) 910/2014 does not arise before a Nigerian court. A qualified timestamp is independent technical corroboration that the capture existed at a stated moment, which the court weighs freely. The admissibility argument itself runs through section 84 of the Evidence Act 2011.

“In any proceeding a statement contained in a document produced by a computer shall be admissible as evidence of any fact stated in it of which direct oral evidence would be admissible, if it is shown that the conditions in subsection (2) of this section are satisfied in relation to the statement and computer in question.”

Section 84(1), Evidence Act 2011, Federal Republic of Nigeria. Section 84(2) sets the conditions, and section 84(4) allows them to be established by a signed certificate identifying the document, describing how it was produced, giving particulars of the device, and signed by a person occupying a responsible position in relation to its operation.

What a ProofSnap package puts before the court

  • The facts a section 84(4) certificate has to state, already recorded for you
  • A SHA-256 hash of every file, so any later alteration is detectable
  • An RSA-4096 signature over the manifest, checkable without ProofSnap
  • Two independent time anchors: Bitcoin OpenTimestamps and an eIDAS qualified timestamp
  • Weight remains for the judge, but nothing rests on your word alone

What a plain screenshot puts before the court

  • No certificate, so the section 84(2) gateway is not met on the face of the exhibit
  • Nothing detects an edit made before or after the screenshot was taken
  • The only date is whatever the device clock happened to say
  • You are the only witness to how the image was produced
  • One editing or deepfake objection can sink the whole exhibit

Qualified timestamps are issued by Disig a.s., a Qualified Trust Service Provider on the EU Trusted List under Regulation (EU) No 910/2014. The Article 41(2) presumption that timestamp carries applies in EU member states; in Nigeria it is corroborating technical evidence only, and admissibility is governed by the Evidence Act 2011. Verify on the EU Trusted List.

Card declined? Turn on international transactions on your naira card

Most Nigerian banks block international and online payments on naira cards by default, and cap the dollar amount. A declined ProofSnap payment is almost always the bank holding the transaction, not a system error. The same block affects the Chrome Web Store, Stripe, and any international service. Since July 2025 the major banks have re-enabled naira cards abroad, so a working card just needs the right switch turned on.

GTBank

Enable dollar spending on your naira Mastercard in the GTWorld app or at a branch. A quarterly limit (about $1,000) applies, well above a ProofSnap subscription.

UBA

Turn on international transactions in the UBA mobile app or via *919#. Naira card spending abroad is capped at about $1,000.

Access, Zenith, First Bank

Enable online and international payments under card controls in the bank app, or call the bank. Limits are set per bank based on FX liquidity.

Dollar or virtual USD card

A domiciliary or USD card from a licensed provider usually clears without limit issues, for a small monthly charge.

Two-minute fix: Open your bank app, go to card controls or settings, and switch on both "online transactions" and "international transactions". On some banks these are separate toggles.

Prices are in USD. Prefer not to start a subscription? A one-time SnapPack is a single up-front purchase, with no subscription, no auto-renewal, and no trial.

Paying from Nigeria: read this before you check out

A declined payment here is almost always your bank, not the checkout. Three things cause it, and all three are fixable in a couple of minutes.

1. International transactions are switched off by default. GTBank, Access Bank, Zenith Bank, UBA, First Bank and Ecobank all ship naira cards with international online payments disabled. Two minute fix: open your bank app, go to card settings or card controls, enable international transactions and online or web transactions, then wait about five minutes and retry. Some banks keep those as two separate switches.

2. There is a monthly spending cap. The Central Bank lifted its own restriction and banks now set their own limits from their FX position, but many still cap naira cards at roughly $50 to $100 per month for international spending. A one-off SnapPack sits comfortably inside that. A subscription may not, if you are also paying for other services in the same month.

3. Some naira debit cards are refused outright. Plain naira debit cards are still rejected by many international merchants regardless of your settings. A domiciliary account card, a dollar card from GTBank, Access or a fintech such as Chipper, Grey or Geegpay, or a credit card enabled for international use will go through where a standard naira debit card will not.

If your spending cap is tight: the SnapPack at $4.99 is a single up-front charge with no subscription and no auto-renewal, so it clears in one transaction. Recurring plans hit the cap every month.

All prices are charged in US dollars through Stripe, so your bank sets the naira rate and any FX spread on the day. If your card blocks international payments, enable them in your bank app before checkout. Law firms and compliance teams that need an invoice can email support@getproofsnap.com.
