AI Image Detector
Upload any image to detect signs of AI generation. Combines metadata analysis, noise channel correlation, high-frequency energy detection, and 5 more independent signals. Free account required. 100% client-side — nothing leaves your device.

8 Independent Analysis Signals
Each signal is computed independently and weighted based on metadata availability. No single check dominates the score.
Noise Channel Correlation
Measures how R/G/B noise channels correlate — real sensors produce moderate, natural cross-channel noise that AI generators miss.
High-Frequency Energy
Laplacian-based texture analysis detects whether fine detail complexity matches real-world photos or synthetic smoothness.
Local Detail Variance
Patch-based variance analysis across 9 image regions reveals unnaturally uniform surfaces typical of diffusion models.
8×8 Compression Grid
Measures block-boundary regularity to detect synthetic compression patterns absent in natural JPEG artifacts.
EXIF Consistency Bonus
When camera model, GPS, and timestamp are all present and consistent, the score is actively reduced — rewarding authentic metadata.
Color Distribution Entropy
Analyzes the spread of color values across the histogram. AI images tend toward narrow, uniform distributions.
How AI Detection Works
Upload your image
Drag & drop any JPEG, PNG, WebP, or TIFF file. The image stays in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
Metadata extraction
EXIF data is parsed for camera make/model, GPS coordinates, timestamps, and AI software signatures from 25+ generators.
Pixel-level analysis
The v2 engine runs 6 pixel analyses: noise consistency, channel correlation, high-frequency energy, patch variance, compression grid, and color entropy.
Weighted scoring
Metadata and pixel signals are combined with adaptive weighting. When EXIF is missing, pixel analysis carries more weight automatically.
Result & breakdown
You get a 0–100 score with a detailed breakdown of every indicator, so you can judge each signal individually.
100% Private — Zero Data Collection
Every analysis step runs entirely in your browser using Canvas API and JavaScript math operations. No pixels, no metadata, no thumbnails ever leave your device. There is no server, no API call, and no telemetry. We literally cannot see what you upload.
Find Where Any Photo Was Taken
Our AI Location Search analyzes architecture, signs, vegetation, and landscape clues to pinpoint photo locations worldwide — no GPS data needed.
Free account required. Includes 2 free analyses per month.
