A graphic designer has sparked controversy by using design software to analyze and debunk the authenticity of Barack Obama’s official White House birth certificate.
In a shocking video demonstration, the designer downloaded the official document directly from the White House website and proceeded to dissect its layers in Adobe Illustrator.
The designer claims that the birth certificate, which was publicly released during Obama’s presidency to quell speculation about his birthplace, is not a single, cohesive document. Instead, he alleges it is made up of multiple separate boxes that were poorly assembled in what he described as a “terrible Photoshop job.”

As he manipulated the file in Illustrator, the designer pointed out inconsistencies he says indicate the document was digitally altered, such as mismatched text layers, inconsistent fonts, and alignment issues.
“No legitimate document would ever look like this,” he declared, explaining that official certificates are typically scanned as a single, uneditable file. Watch:
The video has reignited debates over the authenticity of Obama’s birth certificate, a controversy that gained traction during his presidency but was widely dismissed as a baseless conspiracy theory. Critics argue that the designer’s findings could simply be the result of how the document was digitized and uploaded, rather than proof of forgery.
Supporters of the designer’s claims, however, see the demonstration as compelling evidence of foul play. “This isn’t just a conspiracy theory anymore,” one commenter wrote. “This is proof right from the source.”
The White House has not commented on the designer’s allegations, but experts in digital imaging have previously stated that the peculiarities of the birth certificate’s layers could be due to standard optimization processes when scanning or creating PDFs.
This new video has reignited the controversy over Obama’s birthplace, raising questions about whether the designer’s claims will prompt further investigation or be dismissed as another political conspiracy.
