How it works

Deepfake photos involve AI-generated or AI-manipulated faces — face swaps, age modifications, and entirely synthetic portraits. Our detector analyzes metadata patterns that distinguish real camera captures from AI-processed images. While no tool is 100% accurate, combining metadata analysis with visual inspection of facial details (skin texture, hair boundaries, eye reflections, ear symmetry) provides the strongest assessment.

Tips

Look for visual deepfake artifacts: inconsistent eye reflections, blurry boundaries between face and background, unnatural skin smoothness, asymmetric ears or jewelry, and distorted text in the background. These complement our metadata-based analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if a photo is a deepfake?

Check for metadata inconsistencies (missing camera data, editing software traces), visual artifacts (unnatural skin, inconsistent reflections, blurry boundaries), and use multiple analysis tools. Our detector examines technical signals that deepfakes leave behind.

Can deepfakes be detected reliably?

Detection accuracy varies by method and deepfake quality. Metadata analysis catches many cases. High-quality deepfakes may require visual inspection and multiple complementary tools. No single method is 100% reliable.

What is the difference between a deepfake and AI-generated image?

Deepfakes typically involve manipulating an existing photo — swapping faces, changing expressions, or aging. Fully AI-generated images are created from scratch by tools like Midjourney or DALL-E. Both lack authentic camera metadata.

Are deepfake detectors accurate?

Accuracy depends on the sophistication of the deepfake. Our tool provides a probability score based on multiple signals. For important decisions, combine automated detection with expert visual analysis and verify with multiple tools.
