AI-generated image check

AI-generated image detector

Upload an image, illustration, or piece of digital art and check it for signs it came from an AI image generator, along with file details that can support your review before you share or publish it.

What this check looks for

PhotoProof Labs looks at visual patterns, file details, and signs of repeated saving to estimate whether an image may have come from an AI generator rather than a camera or a human artist.

The result is a probability report, not a final verdict. Treat it as a quick first check before a closer review.

Signals in the report

Each report explains what it found in plain terms, instead of just giving a single label.

  • Visual textures and lighting patterns typical of generated images
  • Missing, unusual, or changed file details
  • Signs of repeated saving or file conversion
  • Signs that a face in the image may have been changed or generated

How your image is handled

Uploaded files are processed for the report. The original may be stored privately for up to 24 hours to complete the analysis and image source search. The system may delete it earlier after processing; files are not meant to be stored permanently.

Reports may keep the result and a few file details so you can review your own history later.

FAQ

Can this prove an image was made with AI?

No. It gives a probability estimate and the signs behind it, so it can occasionally be wrong in either direction.

Which image formats are supported?

JPG, PNG, and WEBP files are supported.

Should I use this for legal evidence?

No. The report is meant for screening and research, not as legal, regulatory, or professional evidence.

Quick answer

AI-generated images can contain visual artifacts, metadata inconsistencies, and statistical patterns that detection tools evaluate as probabilistic signals.

Key facts

  • Primary entity: AI-generated image
  • Topic cluster: AI Detection
  • Search intent: commercial
  • Content type: Guide

Methodology

  • Separate AI-generation probability from authenticity confidence.
  • Combine visual, metadata, manipulation, compression, provenance, and context signals.
  • Explain uncertainty and limits instead of presenting binary proof.

Pros & limitations

  • AI and forensic detection should be interpreted as probabilistic evidence, not absolute proof.
  • Reliable authenticity decisions should combine model output with provenance, context, metadata, and human review.
