Free Badge Builder

Make your badge in about a minute

Pick your label, generate the encoded badge, and add it to your work. It is free, it takes about a minute, and you do not need a Credtent account. The badge you get is the Creative Origin 4.0 format: a visible label a reader sees, and an encoded disclosure a machine can read.

Step 1

Choose how your work was made

Step 2

Generate your badge

The free path is self declared. No sign-in, no cost.

What this badge is, and is not. The badge builder produces a free disclosure badge: you declare your own Creative Origin classification, and the badge carries that self-declared disclosure in readable metadata. It is not a Credtent certification. Certified badges come through Credtent's paid, expert-reviewed certification process, which verifies your classification and adds a registry record. Learn about certification.

Working in more than one format? The multi-format Creative Origin composer builds a combined origin bar for works that mix text, art, music, code, video, and voices, with a separate origin declared per component. It is an earlier generation of the badge tool and displays the earlier badge designs.

Get the certified seal

A self-declared badge states your own classification. Expert certification verifies it, adds the Credtent certified seal, and records it in the registry.
