How do I check if a photo is AI-generated?

Upload any image or paste a URL. Image Analyze runs 5 independent checks — AI detection (SightEngine), camera metadata extraction, pixel forensics, reverse image search, and content safety screening — then gives you a clear verdict: Likely Authentic, Inconclusive, or AI Generation Likely.

Can it detect Midjourney, DALL-E, and Stable Diffusion images?

Yes. Our AI detection engine is trained on images from Midjourney, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, and other popular generators. We combine AI pixel analysis with metadata and forensic signals for a more reliable result than any single detector.

You get 2 free checks with no signup required. Each check runs the complete analysis pipeline — no feature gating. If you need more, check packs start at $4.99 for 5 checks.

How accurate is AI detection?

No AI detector is 100% accurate, which is why we combine 5 independent signals into a composite confidence score. You get a clear verdict plus full transparency into each signal so you can make an informed judgment.

Images are stored securely in encrypted Azure Blob Storage for processing. You can delete your data at any time through your account settings.

Best Reverse Image Search Tools

The best reverse image search tool depends on what you are trying to learn. Some tools are better for general web discovery, some for faces, and some for broader photo verification workflows that add metadata and AI-generation context.

What different reverse image tools do well

General search tools are useful for finding where an image appears online, especially across news pages, blogs, marketplaces, and reposts. Specialized face-search tools can be stronger for the same person appearing in different crops or poses.

A verification workflow adds another layer by combining reverse search with metadata, AI signals, and forensic review. That is often more useful than treating search results as the whole answer.

What to compare

Whether the tool finds exact copies, visual matches, or both
Whether results show social media, AI image sites, news pages, or marketplaces
Whether you can inspect the source URL and match preview easily
Whether the tool also helps interpret authenticity signals beyond search history

How to choose for verification

If the goal is shopping or object discovery, a general visual search tool may be enough. If the goal is checking whether a profile image, viral photo, or suspicious listing image is trustworthy, you usually need more than search alone.

The best workflow is the one that shows both where the image appeared and what the file itself suggests.
