Pick the best copy you have
An original file usually tells us more. You can still use a screenshot, but we will flag the trade-off.
An image check that keeps the caveats in view
AI Image Detector: Is this image AI?
Drop in an image and we will give you a straight read: likely AI-made, likely real, or too close to call. You will also see what made the answer less certain.

No image selectedA useful answer, with the caveats included.
An image detector can be a good place to start. It cannot settle every question, so we show the reasons behind the result instead of hiding them behind a score.
We look for a few practical clues
The check uses pixel patterns, image quality, and any readable metadata. It does not pretend these clues are conclusive.
Put the result in context
Use the result alongside the source, caption, and history of the image. That matters as much as the detector.
What goes into a result
We keep the explanation short. You should be able to see the useful clues and the gaps without wading through a fake forensic report.
- What the pixels suggest
The detector looks for patterns associated with AI-generated images. That is a clue, not a verdict on its own. - What the file can tell us
Metadata may add context. A missing metadata record often just means the image was edited, screenshotted, or reposted. - What makes the check harder
Low resolution, compression, cropping, and screenshots can all make a result less dependable.
Photos and artwork need different treatment
A camera photo and a digital illustration do not leave the same kind of trail. Pick the guide that fits the image in front of you.
Questions people ask
Knowing where the tool falls short makes it easier to use well.
Can this tell me for sure?+
No. It gives you a probability-based read, not proof of who made an image or where it came from. For anything important, check the source as well.
Where does my image go?+
We process a standard upload to run the check, then do not keep the original file. We do not use standard uploads to train a model.
Why did the tool say Uncertain?+
Some files do not give a detector much to work with. Screenshots, heavy compression, low resolution, edits, and digital artwork can all make the answer less reliable.
What can I upload?+
JPG, PNG, and WebP files up to 8 MB. If you have the original file, use that instead of a screenshot.
