VarSeal · Offline JPEG notice tool 1.0.1 · Chrome on Linux
Deliver JPEG copies with your usage notices and a file receipt.
Write your chosen IPTC/PLUS Data Mining value and usage text into new JPEG copies. Review existing metadata first, then export the copies with delivery notes and a per-file receipt.
Use this for a reviewed delivery of supported JPEG exports when you want embedded notices, a client summary and per-file receipts. You supply the statements. The app does not enforce them or prevent downstream metadata removal.

A practical example
Harbor Studio: seven copies from ten fictional inputs
Start with
Nine synthetic JPEGs, including a truncated file, conflicting metadata and an APP11 fixture, plus notes.txt.
Get this result
Seven JPEG copies are written; H_0006 and H_0009 are blocked, and notes.txt is skipped. Every written copy has the selected Data Mining URI. Non-XMP segments and decoded pixels were independently verified unchanged for the practice outputs. notes.txt is listed as 74 bytes with input_read false and no input SHA-256.

Compatibility & limits
Only Chrome 152 on Linux was verified, using first-party synthetic JPEGs. Exports from Lightroom, Capture One, Photo Mechanic and darktable were not tested. JPEG only: up to 100 files, 32 MiB per file and 256 MiB per batch; the exact maximum successful batch was not independently exercised. Writes XMP only; existing IPTC-IIM and EXIF remain unchanged. Blocks damaged JPEGs, APP11 Content Credentials/JUMBF, Extended or duplicate XMP and unsupported XML structures. No RAW, TIFF, PNG, HEIC or sidecar editing. Files not opened have their size and reason recorded without a hash. No autosave or persistent session. Metadata may be stripped downstream. Notices are not a licence agreement, legal advice or an enforcement mechanism.
