How it works
Three steps. No account, no settings.
Add an image or video and we do the rest. Most images take seconds. A long video can take a few minutes.

Your result
A clear answer, with the evidence behind it.
Every check ends in one of three verdicts. We always show why, so you can judge for yourself.

InconclusiveSignals are mixed. Check other sources before you decide.

How detection works
How to read a result.
A check gives you a verdict and the scores behind it. Here is what each part means, and what to do next.
What the scores mean
These are the numbers on a report.
- AI-generated scoreHow strongly the image looks machine-made. A higher score means more of the patterns generators leave behind.
- Deepfake scoreSigns a real photo or video was altered, often around a face.
- Likely sourceA guess at which generator made it, when the model has one. It is a guess, not a stamp on the file.
- Content CredentialsA signed history, if the file has one. No credentials does not mean the image is real or fake.
What to do next
The verdict is a strong hint. Use it like this.
- Likely AI-GeneratedDon’t forward it as a real photo. If you share it, say it looks AI-made, and look for who posted it first.
- InconclusiveThe signals disagree. Check who posted it, and whether anyone else has published the same image.
- Likely RealNo strong AI signs showed up. If the claim matters, still confirm it with another source.
Where this falls short
- A result is a hint, not proof.
- Screenshots, heavy compression, and re-uploads can weaken the scores.
- A new generator may not be recognised until the models are updated.
- The AI check covers videos up to 100 MB. A larger video gets its file details only.
