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.

FAQ guide

Can Reverse Image Search Detect AI-Generated Images?

Reverse image search does not directly detect AI generation. What it can do is reveal whether an image appears on AI galleries, prompt-sharing sites, stock pages, blogs, or earlier reposts that change how you interpret the file.

What reverse search helps with

Finding prior appearances of the same image
Finding visually similar versions on AI image sites
Showing whether a supposedly original image already exists elsewhere
Adding source context to the technical review

What it does not do

A reverse match does not prove an image is AI-generated. It may simply show reuse or reposting. Likewise, a lack of matches does not prove a photo is authentic or human-made.

That question usually needs AI-generation indicators, metadata review, and forensic context as well.

Best workflow

Use reverse search to learn the image's online history, then compare that history with the technical signals in the file. The most useful conclusions come when those layers reinforce each other.
