AI Image Detector — Spot AI-Generated & Deepfake Images

Upload any photo, render, or screenshot to check whether it was generated by Midjourney, DALL·E, Stable Diffusion, or another AI model.

Analysis uses pixel-level, frequency-domain, and generator fingerprint detection.

Scan any image for AI — three ways to detect it

Free AI Image Checker

Instantly verify photos, renders, and social media images for AI generation — no account needed.

Deepfake & Face-Swap Detection

Pixel-level analysis spots manipulated portraits and synthetic faces traditional tools miss.

Stock & Editorial Verification

Confirm image authenticity before licensing, publishing, or citing in research.

How image scanning works

1

Upload an Image

Drop a photo, screenshot, or render into the scan window.

2

Pixel & Model Analysis

We inspect compression artifacts, frequency anomalies, and generator fingerprints.

3

Review the Heatmap

See exactly which regions triggered the AI-generation signal.

How our image scan technology spots synthetic pixels

Diffusion and GAN models leave signatures invisible to the eye — our engine reads them at the pixel and frequency level.

01

Pixel-Level Compression Artifacts

Diffusion and GAN models leave distinct noise and compression signatures that camera-captured photos simply don’t produce.

Sensor Noise Absence
Real photos carry sensor and lens noise patterns that generators rarely reproduce.
Synthetic Smoothing
AI images often over-smooth textures like skin, hair, and fabric.
02

Frequency-Domain Anomalies

Transformed into the frequency spectrum, AI-generated images reveal unnatural regularities invisible to the naked eye.

Grid Artifacts
Upsampling layers in generators leave periodic frequency patterns.
Edge Inconsistency
Object boundaries often show statistically atypical sharpness transitions.
03

Generator Fingerprint Matching

Classifiers trained on billions of real vs. synthetic image pairs recognize model-specific artifacts.

Model Attribution
Identifies signatures unique to Midjourney, DALL·E, Stable Diffusion, and more.
Face-Swap Signals
Flags blending seams and lighting mismatches common in deepfakes.

Built for every professional need

From newsrooms to marketplaces, our image detector gives you the precision you need.

JOURNALISM

Verify Before You Publish

Confirm the authenticity of viral or user-submitted photos before they run.

→Source Verification: flag AI-generated or manipulated images before publication.
→Deepfake Screening: catch synthetic faces in submitted photos and video stills.
→Editorial Trust: protect your outlet’s credibility with a documented check.
See the AI detector for publishers →
E-COMMERCE

Authentic Product Listings

Catch AI-generated product photos that misrepresent what buyers actually receive.

→Listing Integrity: detect synthetic renders passed off as real product photography.
→Marketplace Trust: reduce returns driven by misleading AI-generated imagery.
→Bulk Screening: built for high-volume catalog and seller review workflows.

Platform-Scale Moderation

Detect synthetic profile photos and deepfakes across social and dating platforms.

→Fake Profile Detection: flag AI-generated avatars used for spam or catfishing.
→Deepfake Response: triage reported content with region-level evidence.
→API Access: integrate scanning directly into your moderation pipeline.

Why most image checkers fail

Legacy tools were built for early GANs — not today's diffusion models.

Frequently asked questions

Can you detect AI images from any generator?+
Yes — our classifier is trained across major diffusion and GAN-based generators including Midjourney, DALL·E, Stable Diffusion, Firefly, and Flux, and is updated as new models ship.
