Photo Forensics Tool
Analyze a photo for forensic signals, AI-generation indicators, metadata issues and authenticity clues.
What is photo forensics?
Photo forensics is the process of examining an image for technical and visual evidence that may reveal how it was created, edited or shared.
It can include metadata inspection, compression analysis, origin detection, manipulation signals and semantic consistency checks.
What can photo forensics inspect?
- Image metadata and EXIF data
- Camera-origin or screenshot indicators
- Compression and recompression traces
- Editing, retouching or splicing signals
- AI-generated visual patterns
- Semantic inconsistencies in the scene
Why photo forensics matters
Images can be edited, reposted, compressed or generated by AI. A forensic review helps users understand whether an image deserves closer inspection.
PhotoProof AI combines multiple signals into a clear report rather than relying on a single detector.
How PhotoProof AI performs photo forensics
PhotoProof AI checks AI probability, deepfake risk, metadata, origin signals, manipulation traces and semantic consistency.
The result is a probabilistic report designed to support investigation, not replace human judgment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can photo forensics prove an image is fake?
Not always. Photo forensics provides evidence and probability signals, but it should not be treated as absolute proof.
Does metadata always show whether a photo is real?
No. Metadata can be missing, removed or changed. It is useful, but it should be considered together with other signals.
Can PhotoProof AI analyze screenshots?
Yes. PhotoProof AI can detect screenshot-like origin signals, but screenshots may reduce forensic confidence.
