What can I sign?
Video, images, PDFs, and links. A single video can run up to 75 minutes or 16 GB; how much video you can sign each month is set by your plan’s allowance. Every distinct piece gets its own signature.
How does billing work?
You pay a monthly subscription per active signer, set by your plan. Each plan includes a video allowance per signer, pooled across your team, with no per-minute charge. Images, PDFs, and links are unlimited.
Can the signature be stripped out of my content?
No. It is a visible code rendered into what platforms display, not hidden metadata they strip on upload. It travels with the content through re-posting and re-compression, and it still scans after the content is printed onto paper.
Who can verify a signature, and do they need an account?
Anyone, with the free not.bot app, and no account of any kind. Anyone scanning a signature that doesn’t have the app will be prompted to download the app to verify the signature.
How does publishing to Instagram work?
Through Instagram’s API and your own account authorization. You connect your account once over standard OAuth, and we store the token encrypted so that only your own active session can use it. Your credentials, your account, your audience: the signature comes along.
What happens to my signed content if I close my account?
It stays verifiable. Storage is perpetual and paid at the moment you sign. Cancel your plan, and everything you already signed keeps checking out.
Can not.bot read what I upload?
No. Your originals are stored encrypted, and we never keep the key — it rides inside the signature. Your signatures are encrypted too, under a key only your logged-in app holds. A full breach of our storage yields encrypted blobs and no way to open them.
What does a not.bot signature claim?
That a human authorized to sign for your organization signed this piece. It is not necessarily a claim of personal authorship. A staffer signing under “Joe Candidate at example.org” produces a press release you can check.
Is a user a person?
No. A user is one unique not.bot alias. One human can hold several aliases and sign under each, so you count signers by alias, not by head.
When can I buy it?
not.bot Sign My Work is targeted for late July 2026. Until then the plans are marked coming soon.
Do my signers need a passport?
Yes. Each signer enrolls once in the free not.bot app by scanning a passport, which proves they are a real, unique human without revealing who they are. Enrollment takes a U.S. passport today, with wider coverage and in-person enrollment planned. Anyone who verifies your signed content needs only the free app — no passport, no account.
What do I need to be able to sign?
The not.bot app on iOS or Android with a passport-enrolled identity, and a browser. Mobile signing works best as the installed web app. To verify, your audience needs only the free app.
