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.

Reverse Image Search For Fake Photos

Reverse image search is one of the most useful ways to add context to a suspicious photo. It can show whether an image has already appeared elsewhere online, but it works best when paired with technical review.

What reverse image search can reveal

Earlier uploads of the same image
Reposts across social platforms
Association with galleries, blogs, or marketplaces
Whether a supposedly personal image is already public

Why reverse search is not a complete answer

A lack of matches does not prove originality. New images, cropped images, screenshots, or low-distribution files may not produce strong search results.

At the same time, a match alone does not tell you whether the image is AI-generated or edited. It tells you about history and context, not authenticity by itself.

How to use it well

If reverse search finds the same image on multiple unrelated sites, that changes how you should interpret a claim that the image is exclusive or newly captured.

If reverse search finds nothing, review metadata and AI indicators next rather than treating the image as cleared.
