Sharing Badges, Signatures, and QR Codes
You've sourcemarked your work. Now what? The sharing toolkit helps you show that status wherever your work appears — your website, your email, a gallery wall, a social media post. Every sharing option links back to your verification page, so anyone who sees it can confirm your record in one click.
You'll find the sharing toolkit in the share panel on any record in your library.
Badges
A badge is a small embeddable image that says “Recorded with Sourcemark” and links directly to your verification page. Think of it like a trust mark for your portfolio or website.
Badges work well for:
- Portfolio sites— place one next to each piece to show it has been sourcemarked
- Blog posts and articles— embed a badge alongside any creative work you reference
- Client deliverables— include a badge in project handoffs so clients can verify provenance
You'll get an image URL and a snippet of embed code you can paste into any HTML page. The badge is hosted by Sourcemark and always reflects the current status of your record.
Email signatures
An email signature block lets you add your Sourcemark status to your professional correspondence. It's a subtle but effective way to signal that you take provenance seriously — especially when sending work to clients, agencies, or publishers.
The signature includes a compact visual element and a link to your profile or a specific record. Copy the provided HTML into your email client's signature settings and you're done.
QR codes
QR codes bridge the gap between physical and digital. Scan one with a phone camera and it opens your verification page immediately.
They're particularly useful for:
- Prints and exhibitions— place a QR code on a label or next to a framed piece so viewers can verify provenance on the spot
- Packaging and merchandise— attach one to products featuring your creative work
- Business cards and printed collateral— give people a fast path to your Sourcemark profile
Each QR code is generated for a specific record, so the person scanning it lands on the right verification page every time.
Social cards
When you share a Sourcemark verification link on social media, it generates a rich preview card — an image with your work's thumbnail, your name, and the Sourcemark branding. This makes your posts more visually engaging and immediately communicates that the work has been sourcemarked.
Social cards are automatic. Share the link and the platform handles the rest.
A few things to keep in mind
- Every sharing option links to your verification page. That page is the source of truth — it shows the fingerprint, timestamp, and your AI training declaration.
- The badge text always reads “Recorded with Sourcemark.” This is deliberate. Sourcemark records your declaration; it does not make claims about verification or ownership on your behalf.
- You can generate sharing assets for any record in your library, regardless of its visibility setting. A link-only record still has a working verification link — you're just choosing where to distribute it.
- If you update a record's details or visibility, the sharing assets stay valid. They point to the verification page, which always reflects the current state.
