Keep your record on Arweave
This is optional and entirely in your hands. We do not upload or handle this for you. Your record never passes through this page or our servers. You upload the file you already downloaded, yourself.
Context
What Arweave is
Arweave is a decentralized storage network where you pay once to store a file for the long term. Putting your .vbundle there gives you a durable, public place to retrieve it later. It does not change what the seal proves; it is only storage.

Uploading is public, permanent, and cannot be undone
Arweave is designed so nothing can be deleted. Anything you upload becomes public, worldwide, effectively forever. There is no unpublish and no takedown: not by you, not by us, not by Arweave.
- Text seals contain your note itself, in the clear. A text record embeds the sealed text inside the file (that is what makes it self-contained), so uploading it publishes the note, readable by anyone, permanently.
- File seals embed the fingerprint, not the file, plus the details you chose to sign, such as the filename and title. Uploading one makes those signed details public and permanent, though the file contents stay with you.
- Do not upload seals of private text. If the note contains anything you would not put on a public web page forever, keep the record on your own storage instead. It verifies just as well from a drive you control.
Four steps
How to do it
- Have your .vbundle file from sealing. If you need it again, re-download it from the Seal tab.
- Open an uploader (we suggest ArDrive, linked below).
- Upload your .vbundle file there yourself.
- Keep the resulting link or transaction id. Anyone who has it can fetch your record and verify it offline.

None of this is required. Your record is already self-contained and verifiable on its own; Arweave is just one way to host it. We never see your record, your key, or your data.
