Quick answer
AI-generated images can contain visual artifacts, metadata inconsistencies, and statistical patterns that detection tools evaluate as probabilistic signals.
Upload a photo below to check it in a few simple steps. You'll see an overall result plus the signs behind it, so you know what you're looking at instead of just one number.
Checking a photo takes three steps: choose your file, run the check, and read the result.
Each report shows the overall result first, then the signs behind it, so you can look closer at anything that seems important.
Some AI-made images show unusual details, such as odd hands, mismatched shadows, garbled text, repeated patterns, or objects that don't quite fit the scene.
These signs are helpful, but not final on their own. Low resolution, heavy compression, screenshots, and blur can all make a real photo look more suspicious than it is.
Read the overall result together with the signs behind it. If something still feels uncertain, it can help to check the photo's source or compare it with the related guides below.
No single check gives a final answer. Use the result as one useful input among others.

Upload the photo above and run the check. You'll get an overall result plus signs from the file details, any faces in the photo, and how consistent the scene looks.
Yes. Screenshots, blur, and heavy compression can remove some of the details a check relies on, which can lower confidence in the result.
No. The result is an estimate based on several signs. Use it alongside what you already know about the photo, not as a stand-alone verdict.
Upload a JPG, PNG, or WEBP photo and get your result in seconds.
