ProofSnap evidence gets checked.
The proofs in the evidence package keep working even if our company disappears. Self-verifiable cryptography, no vendor lock-in, no “trust us” required.
Tamper-evident cryptographic evidence built for court: hash, signature, blockchain timestamp, a video of the capture itself, a Provenance Certificate. One click.
From US$8.99/month (approx. NZ$16) · Up to 15 files per package · Verifiable without us
Also available for Microsoft Edge · eIDAS qualified timestamps from a Qualified Trust Service Provider on the EU Trusted List
ProofSnap is a Chrome and Edge extension that captures a web page as court-ready evidence in one click. In New Zealand, as at September 2026, each capture carries a SHA-256 hash, an RSA-4096 signature and a Bitcoin timestamp, the documented process section 137 is concerned with section 137 of the Evidence Act 2006.
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 also carries a Provenance Certificate recording the integrity checks that ran.
That test is set out in section 137 of the Evidence Act 2006: where evidence is produced by a machine, device or technical process of a kind that ordinarily does what a party asserts it does, it is presumed to have done so on the occasion in question, in the absence of evidence to the contrary. New Zealand has one national evidence statute rather than a state-by-state patchwork, so the same test applies wherever you file. The presumption can still be displaced, which is why it matters how well the capture documents itself. A hash, a signature and an independent timestamp are what that documentation looks like. Our guide to tribunal evidence works through this in detail.
The same signed package strengthens a Disputes Tribunal or Tenancy Tribunal application, a defamation claim under the Defamation Act 1992, a complaint to Netsafe under the Harmful Digital Communications Act 2015, or a report to the National Cyber Security Centre. 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 are also built to satisfy the rules of evidence in the United States and in England and Wales, and eIDAS in the EU. Pricing starts at $8.99/month with a 7-day free trial requiring a credit card. ProofSnap is used by lawyers, short-term rental hosts, copyright enforcement firms and compliance teams in both common law and civil law jurisdictions.

Why screenshot evidence gets challenged
A screenshot is not rejected for being a screenshot. It is rejected, or given no weight, when nobody can tie it to a source or a time, or show that the process it came from was working.
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 with AI. In Mendones v Cushman & Wakefield (Alameda County Superior Court, 9 September 2025) the case was dismissed with prejudice after the judge found the plaintiffs had filed AI-altered videos and images. 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. Section 137 presumes a technical process did what it is asserted to have done only where the process is of a kind that ordinarily does it.
Your screenshot
- 1 JPEG file, no proof it's real
- No timestamp, could have been taken at any time
- Editable in an image editor, leaving no trace
- “Anyone could have made this,” says the judge
ProofSnap evidence package
- Up to 15 files, screenshot, HTML, metadata, forensic log
- Blockchain timestamp: immutable proof of when it was captured

Built for how disputes start in New Zealand
Capture it before they delete it
Most New Zealand disputes never reach the High Court. They start at the Disputes Tribunal or the Tenancy Tribunal, with a personal grievance raised inside 90 days, or with a post that disappears the moment someone gets a lawyer involved. Whether you are filing a tribunal application, raising a grievance, or complaining to Netsafe, ProofSnap locks the record in one click, with a signed PDF and a SHA-256 hash that holds up when the other side says “that screenshot is fake”.
Disputes & Tenancy Tribunal claims
Tenancy, building, vehicle and consumer disputes are decided on listings, inspection photos and message threads. The Disputes Tribunal limit rose to NZ$60,000 on 24 January 2026 and follows no formal rules of evidence, so a referee weighs whose account to prefer. It is much harder for a landlord or trader to claim the listing never said that when you have a hashed, timestamped copy of it. See the detail in our guide to Disputes and Tenancy Tribunal evidence.
Defamation: two years, and no notice required
Unlike Australia, New Zealand requires no pre-action notice and imposes no statutory serious harm threshold, and the primary limitation period runs two years from publication under the Limitation Act 2010. You still have to prove what was published, by whom, and how far it spread. Capture the post, the account and the reach while the page is live, because a deleted post is a deleted case. See our guide to defamation evidence in New Zealand.
Netsafe and the HDCA
Netsafe is the Approved Agency for complaints under the Harmful Digital Communications Act, and the District Court can order material taken down, order the conduct to stop, or order a correction or an apology. The Netsafe complaint and the court application both need proof of the communication, and it often vanishes while you are still filling in the form. Capture it first, complain second, as explained in our guide to Netsafe and HDCA evidence.
Online shopping, Trade Me & investment scams
The National Cyber Security Centre logged NZ$5.6 million in direct financial losses reported to it between 1 January and 31 March 2026, against NZ$3.2 million the previous quarter. Lock the listing, the price, the promised delivery, the fake dashboard and the chat before the account disappears, so your bank dispute and your reports to the NCSC and Netsafe all rest on the same signed package. Our guide to scam evidence in New Zealand sets out what to capture and in what order.
Just one dispute? You do not need a subscription.
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.

Netsafe and HDCA evidence
Capture the communication before a takedown order removes it.
Disputes and Tenancy Tribunal
No formal rules of evidence, and a NZ$60,000 limit since 24 January 2026.
Defamation in New Zealand

Scam evidence for your bank and the NCSC
The NCSC recorded NZ$5.6 million in reported losses in the first quarter of 2026, and the site is gone within days.
Personal grievance evidence
You have 90 days to raise it, and your access was cut off on day one.
Australia splits its evidence law between a uniform scheme and three states that opted out, and its deadlines are shorter. If your matter is there, see ProofSnap in Australia. For the Republic of Ireland, see ProofSnap in Ireland, where a qualified timestamp carries an eIDAS presumption rather than mere corroboration.

Don't trust us. Trust the maths.
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.
| 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 competent examiner, with the scripts in the package | Requires vendor cooperation | Requires manual screenshot |
| Cryptographic proof in the file itself | Yes, open standards (SHA-256, OTS, eIDAS) | Proprietary format | None |
“Its merit is based on it being self-verifiable, and not necessarily dependent on the credit or level of trust afforded to the company or institution behind it.”

Aligned with the content-marking approach of EU AI Act Art. 50, applicable since 2 August 2026.
Video of Capture
capture_video.webm
Screen recording included in the evidence package, in three modes:
- Auto: records the capture process (~60s), page scroll, screenshots, metadata extraction.
- Manual: press Start before playing media on the page (live stream, infringing video, deepfake), then press Stop & Capture when you are done. Up to 5 min on Essential and Professional, 10 min on Enterprise and 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, so any single-frame change breaks the signature. Available on all plans.
EU Court-Ready Timestamp
manifest.json.tsr
EU qualified timestamp (RFC 3161, eIDAS Art. 41), carrying the Article 41(2) presumption of the accuracy of the date and time.
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.

Independent legal opinion · 21 April 2026
Law firm opinion: ProofSnap outputs are generally usable as evidence
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. The New Zealand framing on this page was added by the ProofSnap team and rests on the Evidence Act 2006, not on the opinion.
Evidence Act 2006, s 137 · eIDAS Art. 41(2)
Admissible across proceeding types
ProofSnap outputs can be used as evidence in civil, criminal and administrative proceedings. The package is built to answer the authentication question a court asks about an electronic document: under the section 137 presumption here, under the rules of evidence in the United States and in England and Wales, and under free evaluation of evidence in EU systems.
Affidavit · Notarial certificate
A cost-effective alternative to a notary
The opinion describes ProofSnap as “a suitable and economical alternative” to a notary's certificate recording what a website showed on a given day. Affidavits and notarial certificates take time to arrange, and the content can disappear while you wait; ProofSnap captures immediately with cryptographic integrity.
eIDAS Art. 41(2) · Regulation (EU) 910/2014
Statutory presumption of accuracy
The qualified eIDAS timestamp issued by Disig a.s., a Qualified Trust Service Provider on the EU Trusted List, carries the eIDAS Article 41(2) presumption of the accuracy of the date and time and of the integrity of the bound data. Before a New Zealand court, that presumption is not a rule of New Zealand law; what it adds here is documented, independently checkable proof of the time.
“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 and requires no registration. The conclusions express the legal view of the author and do not constitute binding legal advice.
How a New Zealand court tests your evidence
New Zealand deals with this in one statute, where Australia splits the same question between a uniform scheme and the states that stayed outside it. Under section 137 of the Evidence Act 2006, where evidence is produced wholly or partly by a machine, device or technical process of a kind that ordinarily does what it is asserted to have done, the court presumes it did so on that occasion, in the absence of evidence to the contrary. A ProofSnap package exists to show the process is of that kind, and to leave the other side something they can actually test.
Section 137 turns on three questions, and they are asked in this order.
- Was the evidence produced by a machine, device or technical process? A browser capture is, and so is a plain screenshot. This step is rarely where anything is won or lost.
- Is that process of a kind that ordinarily does what you say it did? This is the real test. The forensic log and the chain of custody describe the process step by step, so the court is looking at a documented method rather than an assertion.
- Is there evidence to the contrary? The presumption holds until the other side puts something against it. A SHA-256 hash, an RSA-4096 signature and a Bitcoin timestamp are what they have to argue with, and all three can be checked without us.
With a ProofSnap package
- A SHA-256 hash and an RSA-4096 signature show the file has not changed since capture
- An open, documented process, which is what section 137 asks about
- A chain of custody and a forensic log describing how the capture was made
- The other side can verify it offline, without having to come back to us
- Dual timestamp: Bitcoin blockchain, plus an eIDAS qualified timestamp for international weight
With a plain screenshot
- Nothing inside the file records when it was made
- Nothing in the file to corroborate the process, so the presumption stands on assertion alone
- No record of the device, the browser or the state of the page
- The other side has nothing it can verify independently
- A deepfake objection has nothing to test against
eIDAS qualified timestamps are issued by Disig a.s., a Qualified Trust Service Provider on the EU Trusted List. The Article 41(2) presumption is a rule of EU law and does not bind a New Zealand court; what it adds here is documented, independently checkable proof of the time. Verify on EU Trusted List.

One country, one evidence statute
New Zealand is simpler than Australia here, and that is worth knowing if you have been reading Australian material. There is no state-by-state split and no separate uniform scheme to check. One Act applies, and the forum decides how formally it is applied.
Evidence Act 2006, section 137
Where evidence is produced by a machine, device or technical process of a kind that ordinarily does what you assert it does, it is presumed to have done so on the occasion in question, in the absence of evidence to the contrary. That last phrase is the whole game: the presumption holds until someone gives the court a reason to doubt it.
Tribunals: no formal rules of evidence
The Disputes Tribunal decides on the merits rather than on technicalities, and lawyers appear only in limited circumstances. The Tenancy Tribunal works informally too, on the merits, without formal rules of evidence. Material gets in freely, so weight is the only battleground.
Deadlines differ sharply from Australia
A personal grievance must be raised within 90 days, or within 12 months where it is based on sexual harassment. A defamation claim runs two years from publication. Neither matches the Australian timeframes, so do not work from Australian guidance.
An honest note on eIDAS: New Zealand has no equivalent of the European qualified timestamp regime, so our eIDAS timestamp carries no automatic presumption in a New Zealand court or tribunal. 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 New Zealand figure shown under each price is for orientation only, converted at about NZ$1.73 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.

Frequently asked questions
ProofSnap is a Chrome and Edge extension that captures web pages as legal evidence with blockchain timestamping, ensuring the authenticity and integrity of digital evidence.
ProofSnap uses OpenTimestamps to anchor a SHA-256 hash of your evidence to the Bitcoin blockchain, creating a cryptographic proof of when the capture was made. This timestamp is independently verifiable and cannot be backdated or tampered with, providing irrefutable proof that your evidence existed at a specific point in time.
ProofSnap includes a 7-day free trial with all plans. The trial requires a credit card, and you are not charged if you cancel before it ends. Choose from flexible monthly or annual subscriptions: Essential ($8.99/month or $80/year), Professional ($16.99/month or $160/year), or Enterprise ($28.99/month or $280/year). Annual plans save up to 26%.
ProofSnap generates forensically sound evidence with cryptographic
proofs aligned with eIDAS 2 standards for qualified timestamps and digital signatures. Admissibility depends on jurisdiction and specific legal
requirements. Consult with legal professionals for specific cases.
Regular screenshots can be challenged in court because they carry no proof of when they were taken or whether they have been altered. New Zealand law helps, but it does not do the work for you. Under section 137 of the Evidence Act 2006, where evidence is produced by a machine, device or technical process of a kind that ordinarily does what a party asserts it does, it is presumed to have done so on the occasion in question, in the absence of evidence to the contrary. That last phrase is the opening the other side will use: produce a reason to doubt the record and the presumption falls away. Unlike Australia there is no state-by-state patchwork to navigate, because one Act applies throughout. The Disputes Tribunal and the Tenancy Tribunal are not bound by formal rules of evidence at all, deciding instead on the general principles of the law and the merits and justice of the case, 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 and the capture time in UTC. That gives a court or a tribunal referee something concrete to weigh, and it gives the other side something concrete to test rather than a bare assertion.
ProofSnap uses three layers of cryptographic protection:
- SHA-256 Hashing: Every file in the evidence package is hashed. Changing even a single pixel or character produces a completely different hash, making any tampering immediately detectable.
- Digital Signature: The manifest (listing all files and their hashes) is digitally signed with a private key. The corresponding public key is included for anyone to verify authenticity.
- Blockchain Timestamp: The manifest hash is anchored to the Bitcoin blockchain via OpenTimestamps, creating an immutable record of when the evidence was captured. This timestamp cannot be forged or backdated.
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) will be fully in force by the end of 2026, with stricter standards for electronic identification, digital signatures and qualified electronic timestamps.
Under Article 41(2), a qualified electronic timestamp carries a presumption of the accuracy of the date and time it indicates and of the integrity of the bound data, and nothing beyond that. It does not make anything admissible and it does not shift the burden of proof. The presumption is a rule of EU law, so it does not bind a New Zealand court.
ProofSnap's cryptographic proofs align with eIDAS 2: SHA-256 hashing for data integrity, RSA-4096 digital signatures for authenticity, and blockchain timestamps via OpenTimestamps for independent time verification. Before a New Zealand forum the weight comes from the section 137 presumption, not from eIDAS.
Forensic mode is an opt-in capture depth included in the Professional, Enterprise and Company plans (not in Essential or the SnapPacks).
Forensic mode adds a complete archive of the page's network layer: every HTTP request and response (network.har), a WARC copy of the page, all loaded resources, and the full TLS certificate chain. To capture that it attaches the debugger (the browser shows a “being debugged” banner).
Every one of those files is hashed into the RSA-4096 signed manifest, so the OpenTimestamps blockchain anchor and the eIDAS qualified timestamp cover the network archive exactly as they cover the screenshot.
