Now keep it safe: three things

Keep your photos and files unedited. The receipt only matches the originals. Put them in an album such as “My records”.
Save this receipt to your camera roll.
Keep the receipt file too. The image is a handy copy; checking needs the file.
Email it to yourself.Email it to myself
Your mail app opens a draft. Attach your receipt image and receipt file. Don’t attach your photos or documents. Timevolt does not send it or know whether it was sent.

Your records checklist

Save the page and its context.
Keep a PDF or other saved copy, the URL, and your own note of the access date. A self-written access date is a claim, not independent time evidence.

Inspect the saved copy for missing text, images or pages. Preserve the original copy when making annotations.

Proves / Doesn’t prove

Proves

A completed time receipt shows that the exact selected file existed by the independently witnessed time. You can check whether a later copy has the same bytes. It does not establish creation time, authorship, identity, event order, location or the truth of the contents.

Doesn’t prove

The receipt dates your saved copy, not that the page was online. It doesn't establish the publisher, a complete capture, capture time or the truth of the content.

These are the bounds of a completed proof. The local tester does not establish any time. The chosen court, scheme or regulator decides what to accept.

Questions, answered plainly.

Your file stays on your device. During normal receipt creation, your device sends a randomized code made from its fingerprint, plus encrypted recovery data. It doesn't send the plain fingerprint or the random value that opens the code. Keep the original file and the complete receipt for checking. Privacy Policy.

Does a saved-page receipt prove the page was online?

No. It dates the exact saved bytes. Evidence about publication, the source site and the capture process is separate.

Is a screenshot enough for a whole website?

A screenshot records a view. Preserve relevant context and check for omissions; a single-page archive is not a whole-site archive.
