AI Image Detector

Not sure whether a photo is real or AI-generated? Drop it here and get a verdict in seconds. The whole check runs inside this browser tab, so the file is never uploaded.

  • Free, no account
  • Runs in this tab
  • Nothing is uploaded
  • JPEG · PNG · WebP · AVIF

What runs when you drop a file

  1. Provenance

    C2PA Content Credentials and generator metadata are read first — the strongest evidence, when an image still carries it.

  2. AI Pattern Classifier

    An on-device model scores the pixels. No upload, no server round trip, no queue.

  3. Forensic Analysis

    Error level analysis, a noise map, and camera EXIF, so you can see what the score is based on.

Generators this AI image checker looks for

It reads the provenance markers and pixel fingerprints left by the tools people actually publish with — and it still returns a score when an image carries no markers at all.

  • Midjourney
  • DALL·E
  • Stable Diffusion
  • Flux
  • Gemini / Imagen
  • Ideogram
  • Adobe Firefly
  • ComfyUI workflows
  • GAN faces

What you can check with this image detector

Anything you would hesitate to take at face value. These are the images people bring to a detector most often.

  • Profile pictures and avatars

    Spot the synthetic faces behind fake accounts, catfish profiles, and bot networks.

  • Social media posts

    Check a viral image from Instagram, X, or Reddit before you repost it to your own audience.

  • News and editorial images

    Verify a press photo before it runs, without sending the source file to a third party.

  • Marketplace and product photos

    See whether a listing photo was rendered rather than shot, and whether the seller reused it.

  • Receipts and payment proof

    Review refund screenshots and payment slips that look a little too clean to be real.

  • IDs and scanned documents

    Inspect identity documents and scans for signs of generation or heavy retouching.

  • Digital art and illustration

    Tell AI artwork from hand-made work before you license it, commission it, or judge it.

  • Edited and enhanced photos

    Real capture with AI cleanup on top? The score plus the forensic maps show you the mix.

  • Screenshots you were sent

    Anything that arrives through chat, email, or a group thread and asks you to act on it.

How to check an image

Three steps, a few seconds, and nothing leaves your device at any point.

  1. Step 1

    Add your image

    Drop a file, click to browse, or paste from the clipboard. JPEG, PNG, WebP, and AVIF are supported. There is no upload step — the file stays in this tab.

  2. Step 2

    Three checks run locally

    Lumenfix validates C2PA Content Credentials and generator metadata, runs an on-device classifier over the pixels, and builds forensic maps from compression and noise.

  3. Step 3

    Read the verdict and the evidence

    You get an AI probability, a plain-language verdict, and the detail behind it: provenance fields, error level analysis, a noise map, and any camera EXIF.

Check an image

Who this AI image detector is for

Anyone who has to decide whether a picture can be trusted — whether that is a refund queue, a newsroom, or a group chat.

  • Trust and safety teams

    Screen user-submitted images and keep moderation calls consistent across reviewers.

  • Fraud, payments, and claims

    Review receipts, invoices, and claim photos before a refund or payout is approved.

  • Identity checks and onboarding

    Look for synthetic or retouched selfies and ID images during account verification.

  • Marketplaces and e-commerce

    Watch listing photos, delivery proof, and seller accounts for image-based fraud.

  • Journalists and fact-checkers

    Verify a photo before publication while keeping the source file on your own machine.

  • Teachers and reviewers

    Check submitted artwork, portfolios, and coursework images for AI generation.

  • Designers and art directors

    Know what you are licensing or commissioning before the invoice is signed.

  • Legal and compliance

    Assess evidence images and document authenticity, with detail you can explain in writing.

  • Everyone else online

    Decide whether the picture in your feed is worth believing, sharing, or arguing about.

Why check images here

Most detectors ask you to upload the exact image you are unsure about. This one does not have anywhere to upload it to.

  • Nothing leaves your device

    The check runs on this device only. Your image is never sent to our servers or to anyone else. Close the tab and the file stays with you.

  • Evidence, not just a number

    Every result ships with the provenance fields, error level analysis, noise map, and EXIF behind it, so you can explain the call to someone who disagrees.

  • It admits when it is unsure

    Heavily recompressed or repeatedly screenshotted files are labeled Uncertain instead of being forced into a confident yes or no.

  • Free, no account, no quota

    No signup, no credits, no queue. The detector component is cached after the first run, so later checks work even offline.

What it does not do

A detector is only useful if you also know where it stops.

  • It never uploads or stores your image

    No server copy, no analytics payload, no third-party request with your file inside it.

  • It is evidence, not proof

    The score is a probability. Treat it as one input to a decision, not a verdict you can publish or accuse someone with on its own.

  • It struggles with degraded files

    Screenshots of screenshots, aggressive compression, and tiny crops erase the sensor patterns the check depends on. Those come back as Uncertain by design.

  • It does not separate every kind of edit

    A fully generated scene, a heavy retouch, and AI cleanup on a real photo are different things. The forensic maps help you tell them apart; the score alone will not.

  • It does not read video or PDFs

    Still images only. Video frames need to be exported first, and documents need to be rendered to an image.

  • It does not identify people

    No face recognition, no reverse image search, no attempt to say who is in the photo or where it came from.
