AI Image Detector

An AI image detector looks for signs that a picture was generated or edited with AI. AIDetectorAll checks the file’s labels, content credentials and editing traces, then uses AI detection when needed. See what we found and what remains uncertain. One check a day is free, with no sign-up.

The free check uses up to one independent detector. A full report adds available detector readings, generator clues and a downloadable PDF. We show the evidence behind the result rather than treating a score as proof. Read the full method in our checking methodology.

1. 01

   Read the file details

   We look for content credentials (C2PA), supported AI labels, generator settings, camera data and editing history. Signed records and editable metadata are reported separately. Neither verifies that the scene or its caption is true.

2. 02

   Ask independent AI detectors

   The free check can use one detector when file evidence is insufficient. A full report attempts two independent readings, including when labels are present. Scores can be wrong; unclear or conflicting results may be Inconclusive.

3. 03

   Get one of five results

   AI-generated, AI-edited, Editing traces found, No signs of AI, or Inconclusive. Results based on detector readings or unverified labels are qualified; none certifies an image as authentic.

4. 04

   Save or share your check summary

   The result includes a check summary with its findings, date and method version. A full report adds detailed findings, available generator clues, PDF download and report sharing.

The answer separates generation from editing and leaves room for uncertainty. A missing AI label does not show that an image is real. Screenshots, sharing and editing can remove labels.

• AI-generated

  The whole image was generated.

• AI-edited

  A real photo with parts changed by AI.

• Editing traces found

  The file records editing software. This does not rule out AI.

• No signs of AI

  Nothing we can find points to AI or editing. Not proof it is real.

  Inconclusive

  The available evidence does not support a clear answer.

An AI photo detector has more to work with in the original file. Screenshots and social media copies often lose camera data, labels and image detail. They can still be checked, but the result may be less reliable. Here is what each kind of copy typically retains.

These are common outcomes, not guarantees: platforms and export settings differ. Whenever you can, upload the original. In a messaging app, send the photo as a document or file instead of a picture, so it is not recompressed.

Checking a phone or camera photo? AI photo detector

You can check images from Midjourney, ChatGPT, Gemini (Nano Banana), Flux, Stable Diffusion, Seedream and Doubao. The result depends on the labels the file still carries and what the detector recognizes. We cannot reliably identify every generator, model or small AI edit.

• GPT Image
• Gemini / Nano Banana
• Flux
• Stable Diffusion
• Ideogram

A dating or social profile

Check whether a profile picture shows signs of AI generation before you trust it. A result about the image cannot prove who a person is, so reverse image search and a live video call still matter.

Check a profile photo

A possibly edited photo

Look for editing software, saved history and AI edit labels in the file. Ordinary cropping and color correction are edits too; a trace does not by itself mean the content is deceptive.

Check for editing

An image circulating online

Separate AI generation, AI edits and traditional edits instead of forcing every image into a real-or-fake answer. When the evidence is split or too thin, the honest result is Inconclusive.

Check a viral image

It also works as an AI art detector for digital art, illustrations and anime-style images. Stylized images leave detectors less to work with, so expect Inconclusive more often.

• Suspicious picture

  Check for signs of AI generation and photo editing.

• Watermarks and labels

  Find what a generator left inside the file.

• Photo forensics

  Read camera details, editing history and credentials in plain language.

• Image metadata

  Read supported camera, date, location and AI fields in your browser.

No AI image detector is always right, including this one. Accuracy depends on the generator, the kind of image and what happened to the file after it was made. We don’t print a single headline percentage. Every result lists its evidence, and our methodology explains where each check fails. When benchmark numbers are published, they will include the false-positive rate on real photos.
