Before You Hit ‘Send’: Why Every Designer Needs to Call Dibs First

That moment when you’re about to hit “send” on your latest design draft—whether to a client, a collaborator, or a portfolio website—is one of excitement. But it’s also when your creative work is most exposed. Once it leaves your screen, it’s out in the world. And without proof, it’s no longer just yours.

This is the silent vulnerability most creators don’t realize they face until it’s too late. That’s why My Dibs exists—not to change your workflow, but to safeguard it. It’s a free, simple, and powerful way to get proof of possession on your creative work, so you can move forward without fear.


The Invisible Risk Every Designer Faces

Every designer has heard the horror stories: a logo shared in good faith ends up on someone else’s Instagram. A concept for a pitch is “borrowed” by another team. A Behance upload gets mysteriously recreated by someone across the globe.

These aren’t rare. In fact, the more connected we are, the more common creative theft becomes. And here’s the real kicker: if you can’t prove you had the idea first, there’s often little you can do.

That’s where My Dibs changes everything. It gives you time-stamped, digitally signed documentation that says: “This file wasmine at this moment in time.” And in any dispute or claim, that’s a game-changer.


How My Dibs Works (And Why It’s Brilliantly Simple)

Calling dibs takes less time than exporting a PNG.

You upload your file—whether it’s a sketch, presentation, mood board, or video—and My Dibs instantly returns a certificate of possession. This certificate, backed by the trusted technology of Truecopy Credentials Pvt Ltd, includes a cryptographic timestamp, file details, and a digital signature.

That means nobody can tamper with it, fake it, or question it.

You can even call dibs on multiple versions of the same project as it evolves—documenting the entire creative journey. From a basic thumbnail sketch to a full-blown animation, every step can be certified as yours.


Why This Matters for Freelancers and Agencies Alike

Whether you’re a solo designer juggling clients or an agency handling collaborative projects, the need to prove who created what, and when, is essential.

Freelancers often send multiple drafts to clients. Agencies share internal documents across large teams. In these fast-moving environments, clarity around authorship can save time, reputation, and even revenue.

By using My Dibs as part of your workflow, you build a secure archive of your creative progress—one that’s verifiable, legally relevant, and most importantly, free.


Proof of Possession: Your New Best Practice

Designers often ask, “Isn’t copyright enough?” The answer: traditional copyright is valuable—but it’s also time-consuming, costly, and not always accessible, especially for early-stage or in-progress work.

Proof of possession, on the other hand, is instant and serves a practical, real-world need: proving that you owned the work at a specific time. It’s especially useful in the digital space, where ideas spread rapidly and credit is often blurred.

My Dibs doesn’t replace copyright—it complements it. It gives you the daily armor you need as a modern creative professional.


A Seamless Fit for Your Favorite ToolsIf you design in Canva, My Dibs offers direct integration—so you don’t have to switch tabs or export anything. Just call dibs directly within your design flow and keep working. No fuss, no added steps—just reliable protection with the click of a button.

This frictionless experience makes it easier than ever to make proof of possession a habit.


More Than a Tool—A Growing Creative Movement

My Dibs isn’t just a platform. It’s part of a larger conversation about ownership, authorship, and fairness in the creative world.

The website features expert interviews, stories from creators who’ve used the tool to stand up for their work, and educational blogs to help you understand your rights. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned designer, there’s a community here that values your voice and your vision.


Backed by Trust, Built for the Future

My Dibs is powered by Truecopy Credentials Pvt Ltd, the tech force behind over a billion digital signatures. With their reputation in digital authentication, you can trust that every certificate issued through My Dibs is secure, credible, and future-proof.

And yes, all of this is offered at zero cost to you.


It’s Time to Rethink What ‘Ownership’ Looks Like

You don’t need to wait until your design is complete. You don’t need to be a legal expert. You just need to be proactive.

Before you hit “send,” hit My Dibs.
