visual evidence
Proof you see
Visual evidence is proof you can see—photographs, videos, documents, or physical objects presented to support a claim.
In legal contexts, it refers to exhibits shown to a jury: The prosecution presented visual evidence of the defendant's car at the scene.
More broadly, anything observable that confirms or refutes an assertion: There's no visual evidence of damage to the property.
