AI Image Detector

The AI Image Detector checks whether an image was generated by artificial intelligence or captured by a camera. Upload a photo or paste an image URL, and it returns a verdict with a likelihood score from 0 to 100. It covers images from current generators, including Midjourney, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, Flux, Ideogram, and Google Nano Banana. The tool accepts JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, and HEIC files. The first checks need no account, and the scan runs in this tab.

See a clear AI verdict

The AI Image Detector returns one clear verdict for every image: likely AI-generated or likely natural. Alongside the verdict, it shows a likelihood score from 0 to 100.

Use the verdict to decide whether to trust, question, or verify an image before you act on it.

Check every image type with AI Image Detector

The AI Image Detector checks photographs, digital artwork, edited pictures, and screenshots across common formats. Each type below states what the check is for.

Verify profile and avatar photos

The AI Image Detector reviews profile pictures and avatars for signs of AI generation. Scammers create synthetic faces to build fake accounts on social networks and dating apps. Run a suspicious profile photo through the detector before trusting a new contact, accepting a request, or sending money to an account you cannot verify.

Check product and marketplace images

The AI Image Detector inspects product photos and promotional visuals on e-commerce listings. Some sellers post AI-generated product images that misrepresent what a buyer receives. Check a listing image before a purchase, and platforms can screen seller uploads to keep catalogs honest and reduce refund disputes.

Inspect IDs and documents

The AI Image Detector analyzes ID photos and scanned documents for signs of AI generation. Synthetic identity images help fraudsters pass onboarding checks and open accounts under false names. Compliance and KYC teams can review identity documents and selfies before approval.

Review receipts and evidence

The AI Image Detector examines receipts, invoices, and claim images for signs of AI generation or tampering. Fraudulent proof of payment and fabricated incident photos drive false refunds and inflated insurance claims. Review submitted evidence before you approve a payout, a reimbursement, or a claim.

Assess news and media images

The AI Image Detector checks photographs used in news articles, blogs, and media posts. AI-generated images spread misinformation when they show events that never happened. Editors and fact-checkers can run visuals through the detector before publication.

Spot AI artwork and edits

The AI Image Detector flags AI-generated artwork, illustrations, and heavily edited photos. Retouching, filters, and AI editing tools can change an image enough to raise questions about its origin. Use the detector before you license, publish, or credit an illustration or a modified photo.

Verify images shared online

The AI Image Detector checks images circulating on social media and messaging apps. A single convincing fake can travel across platforms within minutes. Verify a viral or surprising image before you reshare it.

Cover latest AI image generators

The AI Image Detector covers images from the generators that produce most synthetic pictures online today, including Midjourney, DALL-E 3, Stable Diffusion (including SDXL and SD3), Flux, Ideogram, Google Nano Banana, Google Imagen, Adobe Firefly, Leonardo AI, Grok Imagine, Bing Image Creator, and older GAN and StyleGAN faces. The score is a probability that an image is AI-generated. It does not name which generator produced a given file.

Trust reliable, tested results

Claude Watermark Remover trained and validated the AI Image Detector on more than 5,000 curated image samples. The sample set covers current generators and expands as new models launch. The detector reports a likelihood score from 0 to 100. No image detector reaches 100 percent accuracy, so the result is a probability. Pair the score with human judgment on important decisions.

Check if an image is AI generated in three steps

Upload an image, run the analysis, and review the verdict. The first checks need no account and no technical setup.

Upload or paste image

Drag an image file into the detector, click to browse a device, or paste a public image URL. The tool accepts JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, and HEIC files. Upload the original file at full resolution when possible, because a screenshot or a re-saved copy can weaken the signal.

Run the analysis

Select the check control. You stay on the page while the scan completes. The image is not uploaded.

Review the result

Read the verdict and the likelihood score. A high score points to AI generation, and a low score points to a natural photograph. Use the result to decide whether to trust the image, request the original, or verify the source before you act.

Built for every team

Fraud analysts, journalists, marketplace operators, and independent creators use the AI Image Detector for a fast authenticity check. Each group below is asking the same question: was this image generated by AI?

Protect fraud and KYC teams

Fraud and KYC teams screen customer-submitted images before approvals. Analysts check IDs, selfies, receipts, and claim photos for synthetic content that signals a scam. The detector helps flag manipulated visuals early.

Support journalists and editors

Journalists and editors verify photographs before publication. A newsroom can check submitted and sourced images to confirm that a visual reflects a real event, and reject fabricated or manipulated pictures.

Help marketplaces and platforms

Marketplaces and online platforms review user uploads at the point of submission. E-commerce and delivery platforms can screen product photos and proof images for AI generation and tampering before they reach buyers.

Equip creators and researchers

Designers, artists, researchers, and everyday users check an image quickly. Creators confirm the origin of a reference or a submission. The first checks need no account, download, or specialist knowledge.

Why this AI Image Detector is the best

The scan stays in this tab, returns a score from 0 to 100, and covers images from the generators people post.

The file stays on this device

The scan runs in this tab. The image is not uploaded, stored, or sold. A quota request sends a count only, never the image. That matters when the photo is a customer ID, a claim receipt, or a newsroom original.

Trained on more than 5,000 samples

Claude Watermark Remover trained and validated the detector on more than 5,000 curated image samples from current generators. The score is a likelihood from 0 to 100, not a guarantee. Pair it with the source of the image when the decision matters.

A score from 0 to 100

Every check returns a verdict and a likelihood from 0 to 100. A high score points to AI generation. A low score points to a natural photograph. The score is a probability, not a guarantee.

Check generator images in this tab

Drop a file or paste a public URL. The scan runs on this page, so you are not waiting on an upload. It covers images from Midjourney, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, Flux, Ideogram, Google Nano Banana, Adobe Firefly, Grok Imagine, and Bing Image Creator.

What a check actually returns

A scan is not a stamp of authenticity. It is a likelihood from 0 to 100, meant to help you pick the next step: trust the image, ask for the original, or verify the source.

Edited images still return a score

Photos that people retouched, upscaled, or partly generated can produce a mixed result. Read the likelihood as how strongly AI signs appear, not as a map of which parts are fake. Treat a borderline score as a signal to verify, not as proof.

First checks need no account

Guests get 3 checks in this browser. A signed-in account gets 30 image checks each calendar month on every plan, including paid. Paid plans do not raise this cap. The writing tools on this site have their own character limits. This image cap stays separate.

Use this check for the right job

The detector is a fast authenticity screen, not a forensic lab report. Match the job to what the score can support.

Use it to question a photo before you act

Run a profile picture, a listing photo, a receipt, or a viral news image through the detector before you approve, pay, publish, or reshare. A high score is a reason to slow down. A low score is not a certificate that the scene happened.

Do not use it as the only proof

KYC teams, insurers, and editors still need source files, timestamps, and human review. The detector reports a probability. It cannot prove a person was present, and cannot recover marks a platform already stripped.

Use AI Detector when the file is text

If the question is whether a model wrote a paragraph, use AI Detector. If the question is whether a model drew a picture, stay on this page. The two scans answer different questions and do not replace each other.

Understand the AI image risks

AI-generated images create real risks when people accept them as authentic. Deepfakes and synthetic faces power fake profiles, romance scams, and impersonation. Fabricated documents and receipts support identity fraud and false claims. Manipulated news photos spread misinformation, and a single fake image of a company or an event can move markets before anyone verifies it. The detector gives people a fast way to question an image before they trust it.

Keep your images private

The scan runs in this tab. The image is not uploaded, stored, or sold, and no human reviewer inspects a submission during a check. A quota request sends a count only, never the image. Read the Privacy Policy for the full statement.

Frequently asked questions

Short answers about what the score means, generator coverage, and privacy.

What is an AI image detector?

An AI image detector is a tool that estimates whether artificial intelligence generated an image. The AI Image Detector returns a verdict with a likelihood score from 0 to 100.

How does the AI Image Detector work?

Upload a photo or paste a public image URL. The scan runs in this tab and returns a verdict with a likelihood from 0 to 100. The image is not uploaded. The score is a probability, not proof. The tool does not detect Google SynthID.

How accurate is the AI Image Detector?

The AI Image Detector reports a probability, not a guarantee. Accuracy depends on the generator, the image quality, and any editing after generation. Claude Watermark Remover trained the detector on more than 5,000 curated samples. No image detector reaches 100 percent accuracy, so pair the score with human judgment on important decisions.

Does the AI Image Detector work without metadata or watermarks?

Yes. The detector still returns a score when labels or watermarks are missing. Missing labels are not proof the image is real.

Which AI image generators can the AI Image Detector detect?

The AI Image Detector covers images from current generators, including Midjourney, DALL-E 3, Stable Diffusion (SDXL and SD3), Flux, Ideogram, Google Nano Banana, Google Imagen, Adobe Firefly, Leonardo AI, Grok Imagine, Bing Image Creator, and GAN and StyleGAN faces. It does not name which generator produced a given file.

Can the AI Image Detector detect deepfakes?

The AI Image Detector can flag AI-generated faces and synthetic profile images that people use for fake accounts and impersonation. A newly released face generator can lower detection strength for a short window, so review a borderline result with additional context before you act on it.

Why does the AI Image Detector flag a real photo as AI-generated?

A real photo can score as AI-generated after heavy editing, strong filters, upscaling, or compression. To reduce this, upload the original file at full resolution instead of a screenshot or a re-saved copy. Treat a borderline score as a signal to verify, not as proof.

Can the AI Image Detector check an edited or partly AI-generated image?

Yes. The AI Image Detector reviews photos that people edited, enhanced, or partly generated with AI tools. A heavily edited image can produce a mixed result. Read the likelihood score as a measure of how strongly AI signs appear in the image.

Is the AI Image Detector free to use?

Yes. The first checks need no account. Guests get 3 checks in this browser. A signed-in account gets 30 checks each calendar month on every plan, including paid. Paid plans do not raise this cap. No plan promises unlimited checks.

Is an uploaded image kept private?

Yes. Detection runs in this tab. The image is not uploaded, stored, or sold, and no human reviewer inspects a submission during a check. A quota request sends a count only, never the image. Read the Privacy Policy for the full statement.

Can the AI Image Detector replace human judgment?

No. The AI Image Detector reports a probability that supports a decision, and it does not settle one alone. Use the score together with the source of the image, the context, and your own review before you make a consequential call about authenticity.
