AI Image Detector
Upload an image to check if it was AI-generated
How AI Image Detection Works
Our image detector analyzes metadata (EXIF data), frequency domain patterns, noise consistency, color distribution, and compression artifacts. AI-generated images from Midjourney, DALL-E, and Stable Diffusion often leave subtle statistical fingerprints that differ from photographs.
Supported Formats
We support PNG, JPEG, WebP, and GIF images. For best results, use the original uncompressed image. Screenshots and heavily compressed images may reduce detection accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this detector identify images from Midjourney, DALL-E, and Stable Diffusion?
Our detector analyzes frequency domain patterns, noise consistency, and compression artifacts that differ between AI-generated and real photographs. Images from Midjourney, DALL-E, and Stable Diffusion each leave distinct statistical fingerprints. However, detection accuracy varies — newer model versions produce increasingly realistic output, and heavy post-processing or screenshot compression can reduce reliability.
What image formats and sizes work best?
We support PNG, JPEG, WebP, and GIF formats. For the most accurate results, upload the original uncompressed image rather than a screenshot or re-saved copy. Each compression cycle strips metadata and alters noise patterns that the detector relies on. Images at least 512x512 pixels provide the best analysis data.
Does the detector check EXIF metadata?
Yes, EXIF metadata analysis is one of several checks performed. Real photographs from cameras contain rich EXIF data including camera model, lens settings, GPS coordinates, and timestamps. AI-generated images typically lack this metadata entirely or contain generic placeholder data. However, EXIF data can be stripped from real photos or faked, so it is used as one signal among many.
Why might a real photo be flagged as AI-generated?
False positives can occur with heavily edited photos, HDR images, studio photography with perfect lighting, stock photos with extensive retouching, or images that have been through multiple compression cycles. Digital art and 3D renders may also trigger higher AI probability scores. The result should be treated as a probability estimate, not a definitive judgment.
Can AI-generated images fool this detector?
As AI image generators improve, they produce increasingly realistic output that can challenge detection tools. Post-processing techniques like adding noise, adjusting compression, or applying filters can also reduce detection accuracy. No single detector is foolproof — for high-stakes verification, we recommend using multiple detection methods and examining the image context.
Is my uploaded image stored on your servers?
No. All image analysis is performed entirely in your browser. Your image is never uploaded to any server or stored anywhere beyond your local browser session. When you close the page or click Clear, the image data is released from memory.
