Nothing is uploaded: the analysis runs in your browser, a dropped file never leaves this device. For a link, only the address may go through our server if the site refuses direct access.

How to check an image in 3 steps

  1. Drop the file — the original if possible

    Drag in an image or video, or paste a link. The original file gives the most reliable result: screenshots and messaging copies have already lost most of the evidence.

  2. Let the analysis run on your device

    Each signal — provenance, metadata, compression, noise, spectrum, and a locally-run detection model — is checked in your browser and shown separately, with its own status.

  3. Read the verdict with its reserves

    You get a probability, its interval and a confidence level, plus a plain instruction. When signals are missing, the answer is “uncertain” — an honest answer, not a failure. A PDF report carries the same reserves.

Why use this AI image detector

Frequently asked questions

Can it prove an image was made by AI?

No analysis can prove the origin of a file — this one included. The result is an estimate built from technical clues: a high score does not establish fraud, and a low score does not guarantee authenticity.

Why is the result often “uncertain” for WhatsApp or Facebook images?

Those platforms recompress every image, and the fine traces the analysis relies on disappear at the first share. “Uncertain” is then the honest answer, not a defect. For a useful result, provide the original file — never a screenshot or a messaging copy.

Does missing metadata mean the image is fake?

No. Almost every image in circulation has lost its metadata — that is the normal case, not a red flag. Absence never raises the score; it only lowers the confidence.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. The engine and the detection model run in your browser, so a dropped file stays on your device. When you analyze a link, only the address may transit our server — never a file from your device.

Can it detect Google's SynthID watermark?

No third-party tool can: Google has not published its detector. Only an optional mention in the metadata is readable — and its absence proves nothing.

Does it detect deepfakes — swapped faces?

Not as such: no dedicated face detector is embedded, so a video manipulated only locally can pass the global checks. That limit is written in the report, before anyone relies on it.

What are Content Credentials (C2PA) worth here?

They carry decisive weight only when the manifest's hard binding to the file's exact bytes is verified locally — a manifest copied onto another image is caught. The signer's identity, however, is not verified, and the screen says so.
