Truepic Named to Fast Company's Annual List of The World's Top 50 Most Innovative Companies for 2019

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Truepic, the leading photo and video verification platform, has been named to Fast Company's annual ranking of the World's Top 50 Most Innovative Companies for 2019. Truepic is ranked #1 in the Social Good category and #16 overall.

Truepic pioneered a new breed of visual media ? photos and videos whose provenance and contents can be verified at the source, from the instant the capture button is pressed. This technology has been used in over 100 countries around the world, by international organizations, NGOs, activists, journalists, global enterprises, and everyday people looking to establish trust through photos and videos.

Truepic makes its patented Controlled Capture technology accessible via easy-to-use services and apps, including:

• The freely available Truepic app, a universal documentation tool for civil empowerment, citizen journalism, documentation and more.
• Truepic Vision, the fastest, most trustworthy virtual inspection solution for insurance carriers, lenders, and international organizations.

"Trust is fundamental to a healthy, functioning society, yet it is threatened by the misuse of emerging technologies," said Jeffrey McGregor, CEO, Truepic. "Deceptive content will continue to proliferate across the internet, and have an impact on virtually every industry on earth. As a result, the world must have access to verification technology to restore trust and faith in commerce, media, law, documentation, and each other. We also believe that trust in visual media is a universal right, which is why our team has invested substantially to democratize this technology. We are committed to continuing to invest heavily in trusted documentation technologies so that anyone in the world can access them freely and easily."

In addition to Controlled Capture, Truepic is developing advanced digital image forensics technology for evaluating the trustworthiness of nearly any digital image. In collaboration with world-renowned image forensics expert Hany Farid, Truepic will launch Truepic Insight with select partners this spring. Truepic Insight is designed to be the most flexible, API-based image forensics platform for surfacing the underlying data included in every photo.

The World's Most Innovative Companies is Fast Company's signature franchise and one of its most highly anticipated editorial efforts of the year. It provides both a snapshot and a road map for the future of innovation across the most dynamic sectors of the economy.
