Metadata Check

Verifies camera data, lens info, and exposure settings integrity.

Edit Detection

Finds traces of Photoshop, Lightroom, GIMP and other editors.

Timeline Analysis

Compares creation and modification timestamps for inconsistencies.

What it analyzes

Four categories: EXIF consistency (do metadata fields contradict each other?), software traces (was the file processed by editing tools?), timestamp logic (do dates and times make sense?), and compression patterns (has the image been re-saved multiple times?). Results highlight specific findings, not just a yes/no.

Verification workflow

Start here for a quick assessment, then use the EXIF Checker for raw metadata details. For file integrity proof, generate a SHA-256 hash. For visual tampering, try the Similarity Scanner against a known original.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does authenticity checking analyze?

We check EXIF consistency, editing software signatures, timestamp anomalies, and compression patterns.

Can all edited photos be detected?

No. Skilled editors can hide manipulation. Our tool catches common editing traces but is not foolproof.

What makes a photo authentic?

Authentic photos have consistent metadata, no editing software tags, and matching timestamps across all fields.
