Evidence Preservation
Preserve what happened on the web.
Timestamped captures that document digital reality.
Web content changes. Social media posts are deleted. Company websites are edited to remove inconvenient statements. Backdrop creates timestamped, multi-format archives that document exactly what appeared on the web at a specific moment — before it could be altered.
Immutable capture timestamp
Every archive records the exact date and time of capture. The timestamp is stored in the system and visible in exports.
Full-page screenshot
Pixel-accurate screenshots document visual layout — not just text — at time of capture.
HTML source preservation
The underlying HTML is archived, allowing inspection of content even if the rendered version differs.
PDF generation
Clean, formatted PDFs of every archived page suitable for attachments and formal submission.
Original URL record
Source URL is permanently associated with every archive, maintaining chain of custody.
Private and controlled
All archives are private by default. Sharing is intentional and controlled.
How it works
Identify content to preserve
Social posts, product pages, press releases, government documents, or any publicly accessible web content.
Archive immediately
Capture before the content can change. Backdrop records the timestamp at the moment of capture.
Store in an evidence collection
Group related archives into a named collection with notes and annotations.
Reference or export as needed
Share collection links or export PDF/HTML for formal use in legal, journalistic, or compliance contexts.
“A vendor denied making a specific claim on their website. I had the Backdrop archive from the day I saw it — HTML source, screenshot, and timestamp. That evidence ended the dispute immediately.”
