AI Photo Check is a free service that analyzes images using multiple detection methods to help determine content authenticity and detect AI-generated images. Our analysis methods include:

  • C2PA Verification: Checks for Content Provenance standard metadata
  • ML-Based Detection: Uses Hugging Face transformer models trained on AI-generated images
  • Semantic Analysis: Detects logical inconsistencies in image content
  • Biometric Analysis: Analyzes human features for AI artifacts using MediaPipe
  • Lighting Validation: Validates physical lighting consistency
  • Compression Analysis: Detects JPEG compression anomalies
  • PRNU Analysis: Sensor fingerprint detection for camera identification
  • GAN Fingerprint: Detects checkerboard patterns and artifacts from AI generators
  • Edge Sharpness: Analyzes edge transition patterns
  • Texture Analysis: LBP-based texture pattern detection
  • Frequency Analysis: Examines DCT spectrum patterns typical of AI generation
  • Statistical Analysis: Pixel value distribution patterns
  • Chromatic Aberration: Lens aberration pattern analysis
  • Micro Texture: Micro-level surface texture patterns
  • Color Palette: Color distribution and palette analysis
  • Gradient Analysis: Edge pattern detection
  • Noise Pattern: Analyzes noise uniformity differences between real and AI images
  • Metadata Analysis: Inspects EXIF data and software signatures

3. Use of Service

You agree to use the service only for lawful purposes. You may not:

  • Upload illegal, harmful, or offensive content
  • Attempt to bypass any service limitations
  • Use the service to infringe on others' intellectual property
  • Reverse engineer or attempt to extract source code

4. Accuracy Disclaimer

While we strive for accuracy using multiple detection methods, our analysis may not detect all AI-generated or manipulated content. Results should not be considered definitive proof of authenticity. Each detection method has its own accuracy rate, and the final verdict is based on weighted ensemble analysis.

5. Intellectual Property

You retain ownership of any images you upload. By uploading, you grant us a limited license to process the image for analysis purposes only. Images are not used for training AI models.
