- How accurate is the AI detection?
- It is probabilistic, not definitive. The model is strong but no detector is perfect — heavily edited, compressed, screenshotted, or upscaled images, and images from brand-new generators, can slip past. Treat the result as one signal alongside other context, not proof.
- Which AI generators can it detect?
- The detector recognizes signatures from major generators including Midjourney, DALL·E, Stable Diffusion, Flux, Sora, Adobe Firefly, and Google Imagen/Gemini, among others, and reports the most likely source when it can.
- What is the difference between “AI-generated” and “deepfake”?
- AI-generated means the whole image was synthesized by a model. A deepfake is a real photo or video of a real person that has been manipulated — typically a face swap. We report both scores separately.
- How does the catfish / reverse-image check work?
- On request, we reverse-search the image against the public web and show other pages using the same photo. A picture that appears on unrelated profiles or pages is a classic sign of a reused or stolen (catfish) image. It only sees the public web — it cannot check private or login-gated sites like Instagram or OnlyFans, so “no copies found” is not proof the photo is original.
- Do you store my image or personal data?
- Every uploaded image is first scanned for known illegal content before anything else. We keep a record of each check — including your IP address, approximate location, and basic device/browser info — for rate limiting, fraud prevention, and legal compliance, and clean images may be retained for abuse prevention. See our Privacy Policy for full details. No account or login is required.
- Is it free? Are there limits?
- Yes, it is free with no login. There is a limit of 5 checks per day per person to keep the tool available to everyone.
- Can I check a video too?
- Yes — use the free deepfake video detector at sealedrose.com/verify-video. It scans clips up to 50 MB frame by frame for face swaps and AI-generated video (Sora, Runway, Kling, Veo), with 3 free checks per day.
