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.

How To Find Someone By Photo

If you are trying to find someone by photo, the first useful step is usually reverse image search. The goal is not to identify a person from a face alone, but to discover where the image already appears and what context comes with it.

What a photo search can realistically do

A photo search can surface earlier uploads, profile pages, blogs, AI galleries, scam reports, or reposts tied to the same image. That can tell you whether a supposedly personal image is already public or widely reused.

What it usually cannot do is guarantee the identity of the person in the image. It provides context, not a legal identity match.

A practical workflow

Run reverse image search on the photo
Review whether the top matches point to profiles, galleries, or unrelated sites
Check whether the file shows AI-generation or editing indicators
Use the image history to evaluate the story attached to the photo

When results are weak

A lack of results can mean the image is new, cropped, low-distribution, or poorly indexed. It should not be treated as proof that the image belongs to the person using it.

When search is weak, metadata and AI signals become more important.
