Detect if a photo has been edited or manipulated. Analyze software traces, compression patterns, EXIF consistency. Free online.
ForensicsEdited photos leave traces in their metadata. Photoshop, Lightroom, GIMP, and mobile editing apps write their names into the Software EXIF field. Re-saved images accumulate compression artifacts. Cropped photos lose their original dimensions. Our authenticity checker flags all these indicators and more — including timestamp mismatches, unusual EXIF patterns, and signs of metadata manipulation.
The most common editing traces: "Adobe Photoshop" in Software field, mismatched DateTimeOriginal vs DateTimeModified, JPEG quality level inconsistent with original camera output, and missing makernote data (stripped during editing).
