The verdict is a strong signal, not legal proof. For hiring, journalism, academic, or legal decisions, confirm with human review or a second tool.
Why choose us
An AI Image Detector That Explains Its Verdict
Three-state verdicts, plain-English reasoning, and an upfront accuracy disclosure — built for journalists, recruiters, and content teams who need more than a single percentage.
Three-State Verdict, Not One Number
AI generated, real, or unable to tell — when the model is between 40 percent and 60 percent confident the result is clearly marked as inconclusive instead of forced.
Plain-English Reasoning
Each verdict comes with two to three short signals the detector used (texture, edges, eye reflection, hand structure), so you can decide if the reasoning fits your case.
Auto-Deleted After Analysis
Your image is sent to a detection service, the verdict comes back, and the file is deleted from the processing pipeline — never used for model training.
Accuracy Disclosed Upfront
Current models reach about 92 to 96 percent on common benchmarks. For hiring, journalism, legal, or academic decisions, combine the verdict with human review.
How to
How to Check if an Image Is AI Generated
Step 1
Upload One Image
Drag a single image into the upload area, click to browse, or paste from the clipboard. JPG, PNG, WEBP, HEIC, and GIF are supported up to 20 MB for guests.
Step 2
Wait About Five Seconds
The image is sent to the detection service. A progress indicator shows live status — most images return a verdict in three to five seconds.
Step 3
Read the Verdict
See AI generated, real, or unable to tell with a confidence number and two to three short reasoning bullets. Decide your next step with human judgment in the loop.
When to Use the AI Image Detector
Pick the scenario closest to yours. Each example shows the kind of decision the detector is built to support — and the disclaimer that comes with it.
Newsroom & Editorial Fact-Check
Quickly screen submitted news photos and eyewitness images before they go to print or feed — flag obviously AI-generated frames for further review.
Use as a first-pass signal, not as standalone proof.
Recruiter Headshot Check
Spot synthetic profile headshots and portfolio images before scheduling interviews — paired with human review to avoid false positives.
Always confirm with the candidate; never reject on detector verdict alone.
Marketplace & Listing Audit
Self-check product photos before uploading to Amazon, Shopify, or Etsy so the platform's own AI filter does not flag your listing by mistake.
Different marketplaces use different filters; results may not match each platform.
Coursework & Submission Review
Help teaching assistants screen submitted images that look suspicious before escalating to a formal academic review process.
Combine with school-specific policy and document review — never the sole evidence.
Profile & Date Photo Check
Run an unfamiliar profile photo through the detector before agreeing to meet, to spot obvious AI-generated avatars on dating or social platforms.
Cross-check with a reverse-image search; the detector is not a catfish-proof oracle.
Creator Verification
Self-verify a finished photograph or piece of artwork to share that it was not generated by an AI model — useful for portfolio claims and contests.
A "Real" verdict supports your claim but is not a contest-grade certificate.
Who needs this tool
Who Needs an AI Image Detector?
Reporters, HR teams, online sellers, students, and content creators use the detector to make faster go-or-no-go calls on suspicious images.
Journalists and editors
Screen submitted photographs and viral eyewitness images before they reach the homepage. Use the verdict as a first-pass signal and pair with newsroom review.
HR and recruiters
Sanity-check candidate headshots and portfolio images before interview scheduling. Treat "AI generated" as a prompt for human follow-up, not a rejection rule.
Online sellers and marketplaces
Self-audit product photos against AI-detection filters used by Amazon, Shopify, and Etsy. Flag listings that may trip a platform filter before you submit them.
Content creators and marketers
Verify before reposting an unfamiliar photo or piece of art, and self-verify your own work for portfolio claims, contest entries, and brand integrity.
Reviews
Used by People Who Need a Second Opinion
Real feedback patterns from journalism, hiring, marketplace, and academic teams that want a verdict plus the why.
What I needed was reasoning, not a number. Knowing which signals the detector flagged on a viral wildfire shot let me make a publish-or-hold call in under a minute.
Emma D.
Newsroom photo editor
We sanity-check headshots on a fraction of incoming applications. The three-state verdict — including "unable to tell" — saved us from over-rejecting real candidates.
Mark T.
Talent acquisition lead
Amazon flagged a product photo as AI by mistake last quarter. Now I self-check before uploading. The result plus the reasoning helps me argue back when it matters.
Hanna J.
Marketplace seller
Used as one input in an academic review — never the only one. The accuracy disclosure right on the page is what made me comfortable recommending it to other TAs.
Lin C.
Teaching assistant
The "unable to tell" state matters more than people realize. A confident-looking 96 percent score on a fake image would have burned a story I worked on for a month.
Marco P.
Investigative reporter
Reasoning bullets make the result something I can put into a report. A bare percentage is unfalsifiable; a flagged signal is something I can replicate in a second tool.
