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 Check If A Rental Listing Photo Is Fake

Rental listing photos often get reused across scam posts, copied from old listings, or pulled from unrelated sites. The right workflow helps you test the image before trusting the listing.

What to look for

Whether the same photos appear on other rental or real-estate sites
Whether the property details match across those appearances
Whether the listing uses unusually polished or inconsistent images
Whether the source history makes sense for the claimed property

Why reverse search matters most here

Rental scams often rely on copied photos more than synthetic images. That makes image history especially useful. If the same apartment photos are tied to another city, another price, or an older listing, that changes the risk picture quickly.

What stronger evidence looks like

Ask for a live walkthrough, a current photo of a specific room, or a picture that includes a handwritten note and today's date. A scammer using copied real-estate photos often cannot provide that follow-up convincingly.

Also compare the listing details across any matched pages. Differences in address, rent, square footage, or contact method are often more useful than the image alone.

What to do next

If the images look questionable, slow the process down. Ask for a live walkthrough, a current photo request, or an address that can be verified independently before sending money.

Quick answers

Are rental scams usually AI-image scams?

Not usually. Many rental scams still rely on copied real photos from older listings, which is why reverse image search is often more useful here than model-specific AI detection alone.

What should I ask for before paying a deposit?

Ask for a live walkthrough or a current custom photo request tied to the property, then verify the address and listing details independently before sending money or documents.
