Balsamiq Verified File

| Aspect | Details | |--------|---------| | Applies to | Exports from Balsamiq for Desktop (v4+) and Balsamiq Cloud | | File formats | PDF, PNG | | Verification badge | Small green checkmark + text “Balsamiq Verified” placed on the exported file (usually bottom-right corner or footer) | | Verification method | The badge is embedded during export using Balsamiq’s proprietary rendering engine — cannot be added or removed manually | | Tamper detection | If the exported file is edited in another program, the badge may disappear or become invalid (though Balsamiq does not currently offer cryptographic signature verification) |

Note: As of 2025, Balsamiq does not use blockchain or public-key cryptography for verification; the badge is primarily a visual deterrent against casual editing.

Balsamiq Verified is a visual indicator (a small checkmark badge) and a functional status applied to project assets — most commonly PDF exports and image exports (PNG) — generated from a Balsamiq mockup.
The feature ensures that a given exported file originates from an unmodified, official Balsamiq project file and has not been tampered with after export.

It is not a user verification (like a verified Twitter account), but rather a content authenticity mechanism for design deliverables. Note: As of 2025, Balsamiq does not use

Unlike social media verification (which often just means "you're famous"), Balsamiq Verification is a technical and ethical stamp of approval.

When you see the "Balsamiq Verified" badge—whether on a UI kit, an icon set, a plugin, or a community script—it means that Balsamiq’s core team has personally reviewed the asset. We have checked it against three strict criteria:
