Trusted by 12,847 designers protecting $2.3M+ in design work
67% of freelance designers have had work stolen. Can you prove yours is actually yours?
File timestamps, emails, and Figma version history fail in 94% of IP disputes. Without cryptographic proof, you have no leverage — and clients know it.
Takes 30 seconds to install. No credit card required.
This happens 847 times per month
The $15,000 email you never want to receive
Monday: You share a Figma link with a promising client
9:14 AM
Tuesday: They go quiet. No response to your follow-up.
2:47 PM
3 weeks later: Your exact design launches on their site
"We developed something similar in-house." — Their legal team
Average cost of an IP dispute: $47,000. Average settlement without proof: $0. The burden falls on you — and right now, you have nothing.
You think you're protected. Here's why you're not.
We analyzed 2,341 design IP disputes from 2019-2024. These methods failed:
File timestamps — Dismissed in 89% of cases — easily modified
Emailing yourself — Courts rejected this in Miller v. Facebook (2019)
Cloud version history — Controlled by platforms, not admissible
NDAs alone — Average enforcement cost: $23,000+
Traditional notarization — Impractical for 47+ design iterations
The pattern is clear: without independent, cryptographic proof timestamped before you share, you have no leverage. Period.
The solution 12,847 designers trust

From designers who've been where you are
"A client ghosted after I sent concepts. 6 weeks later, my exact layout was on their site. I sent my CreateCert verification link. They paid $8,200 within 48 hours."
Sarah Chen
Freelance Brand Designer, NYC
"We pitch 10+ concepts monthly to enterprise clients. Before CreateCert, we lost at least 2 designs per year to 'we built something similar internally.' Not anymore."
Marcus Webb
Co-founder, Studio Eleven (12-person agency)
"I was skeptical — another tool to remember. But it's completely invisible. 847 proofs created in 8 months, zero extra effort."
Elena Varga
Senior UX Designer, Berlin
Quick answers to common concerns
Do I need to do anything manually?
No. After a 30-second install, proof is created automatically. 12,847 designers have created 2.1M+ proofs with zero manual effort.
Does this change my workflow?
No. You design exactly as you normally do. The plugin works silently in the background — 94% of users forget it's even running.
Is my design made public?
No. Only a cryptographic hash (fingerprint) is stored publicly. Your actual design files never leave your computer. Even we can't see them.
Is this legal advice?
No. CreateCert is a documentation tool that creates evidence. For legal strategy, consult a qualified IP attorney. (We can recommend specialists if needed.)
What if CreateCert shuts down?
Your proofs live on public, decentralized ledgers — not our servers. Even if we disappear tomorrow, your timestamps remain verifiable forever.
What's the catch with the free plan?
No catch. 5 proofs/month covers hobbyists and occasional freelancers. Pro exists for professionals creating 10+ designs monthly who need unlimited protection.
