Photo Forensics Center

Is the photo real, edited, AI-generated, or stock? Free tools and guides to verify image authenticity and detect manipulation.

Forensics Tools

Analyze EXIF consistency, software traces, timestamps, and compression patterns for signs of manipulation.

Check if a photo was created by DALL-E, Midjourney, or Stable Diffusion using metadata and pattern analysis.

Detect if an image is a screenshot or a real photograph using resolution, EXIF, and format signals.

Compare two images pixel-by-pixel with diff heatmap to detect edits and verify visual identity.

Compare metadata between two photos to verify they came from the same camera, time, and location.

Generate SHA-256 and MD5 hashes to prove file integrity. If one byte changes, the hash changes.

Quick check — upload any image to see if it was likely created by AI tools like Midjourney or DALL-E.

EXIF analysis, software detection, timestamp verification, and compression pattern review.

Spot Photoshop traces, ELA analysis, compression inconsistencies, and metadata red flags.

Visual signs, metadata patterns, and tools to identify DALL-E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion output.

Screen resolution matching, EXIF absence, format clues, and automated detection signals.

IPTC metadata, visual patterns, reverse image search, and watermark detection techniques.

SHA-256, MD5, checksums — how cryptographic hashes verify file integrity and detect tampering.

Start with the Authenticity Checker for a quick assessment, then dig deeper with specialized tools.
