PDF Certificate

Music Ownership Proof Certificate

A downloadable PDF that documents your cryptographic proof of music creation — timestamped, fingerprinted, and independently verifiable by anyone.

AI Search Summary

A PDF protection certificate records the file submitted to AISONIQ.app, its SHA-256 fingerprint, Protection ID, server UTC timestamp and proof-page QR code. It is supporting evidence that you held that exact file at that time. It isn't copyright registration.

What is a PDF protection certificate?

When you upload a track to AI.SONIQ, the platform creates two permanent records:

Public Proof Page
A permanent, publicly accessible web page at a unique URL. Anyone can visit it to verify your proof data without logging in.
Downloadable PDF Certificate
A formatted PDF document containing your full proof record — useful for sharing with collaborators, labels, lawyers, or as a personal file.

Both records reference your Protection ID, SHA-256 fingerprint and server UTC timestamp, documenting the file held at that time.

What your certificate contains

Protection ID

Your unique identifier — a permanent reference to this proof record

SHA-256 fingerprint

The cryptographic hash of your exact audio file bytes

UTC creation timestamp

The precise date and time your file was uploaded and fingerprinted

Track title and artist name

The title and artist metadata recorded at time of upload

Public Proof Page URL

The permanent link anyone can visit to verify your proof

QR code

Scannable code linking directly to your public Proof Page

The certificate documents a dated file record

The PDF is a formatted representation of your proof data — but the data itself is locked on AI.SONIQ's servers the moment you upload. These fields can never be edited:

  • SHA-256 fingerprint of your audio file
  • UTC timestamp of upload
  • Protection ID
  • Original audio file

If someone edits the PDF, the QR code still points to the original, unaltered proof on AI.SONIQ — making any tampering immediately detectable.

When to use your PDF protection certificate

Sharing with collaborators
Prove to co-creators or producers when a specific version of the track was finalised.
Label or publisher submissions
Include as supporting documentation when pitching to a record label or music publisher.
Licensing agreements
Attach as evidence of ownership when negotiating sync or usage licenses.
Dispute resolution
Use as supporting evidence if another party claims they created the same or similar track first.
Personal archive
Build a timestamped catalog of your creative output over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an AI.SONIQ PDF protection certificate?

A PDF protection certificate records your track title, artist name, Protection ID, SHA-256 fingerprint, server UTC timestamp and QR code. It supports evidence that you held the exact file at that time, not copyright registration.

What does the certificate prove?

The certificate proves that a specific audio file — identified by its SHA-256 fingerprint — was uploaded to AI.SONIQ at a specific UTC time by a specific account. This constitutes a verifiable, tamper-proof record of creation. It is not a legal copyright document, but it is a strong proof-of-creation record that can support a claim or dispute.

Can anyone verify the certificate?

Yes. Every certificate includes a QR code and a URL pointing to your public Proof Page on AI.SONIQ. Anyone — without logging in — can scan the QR code or visit the URL to view the original Protection ID, fingerprint, and timestamp.

Is the certificate tamper-proof?

Compare the PDF's Protection ID, SHA-256 fingerprint and server UTC timestamp with the file record linked by its QR code. The record documents the file held at that time; it does not verify identity or ownership.

Which plans include PDF certificate downloads?

Every protection, including an eligible one-time welcome protection, includes the Protection ID, SHA-256 fingerprint, UTC timestamp, proof page, QR code and PDF certificate. See pricing for current plans and availability.

Can I get certificates for AI-generated music from Suno or Udio?

Yes. AI.SONIQ works with any audio file, including AI-generated music from Suno, Udio, Boomy, and all other AI music tools. Upload your track, include your AI prompt for fuller documentation, and receive a certificate for that specific file.
