synth-media-compliance-cli 0.1.0

Batch watermarking and compliance reporting for AI-generated media

synth-media-compliance-cli

Batch-process AI-generated media with compliance watermarks, C2PA signatures, and EU AI Act audit reports.

What is this?

A command-line tool for content studios and creators who need to retroactively add compliance metadata to hundreds of synthetic media files. It bridges the gap between real-time provenance tracking (via synth-provenance-api) and offline workflows, automating watermarking, cryptographic signing, and audit report generation to meet EU AI Act and GDPR enforcement requirements ahead of Q3 2026.

Features

• Batch watermarking – Apply compliance watermarks to images, videos, and audio in bulk
• C2PA signatures – Embed cryptographic provenance claims and chain-of-custody metadata
• Compliance tagging – Inject structured metadata (creation date, model info, generation parameters)
• Audit reports – Auto-generate EU AI Act and GDPR compliance documentation per file
• Format support – Process PNG, JPEG, MP4, WAV, and common media formats
• Dry-run mode – Preview changes before committing to disk
• Parallel processing – Leverage multiprocessing for large batches

Quick Start

Installation

pip install synth-media-compliance-cli

Or install from source:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/synth-media-compliance-cli.git
cd synth-media-compliance-cli
pip install -e .

Basic Usage

Process a directory of images with default compliance settings:

synth-compliance process ./media/images --output ./media/signed

Add custom watermark text and generate audit reports:

synth-compliance process ./media/videos \
  --watermark "AI-Generated • Disclosure Required" \
  --report ./reports/audit.json \
  --threads 4

Verify signatures on processed files:

synth-compliance verify ./media/signed --report-path ./reports/verification.json

Usage Examples

Batch processing with metadata injection

synth-compliance process ./raw_content \
  --output ./compliant_content \
  --model-name "Stable Diffusion XL" \
  --model-version "1.0" \
  --generation-date 2026-03-17 \
  --creator-id studio_001 \
  --dry-run

Generate GDPR-compliant audit trail

synth-compliance report ./compliant_content \
  --format pdf \
  --include-chains \
  --output-dir ./compliance_reports
