AI Image Checker – Detect AI-Generated Images Free
Check whether an image was AI-generated by reading the file itself for AI fingerprints: content credentials (C2PA), generator metadata and hidden tags left by AI image tools. Upload the image and get a straight answer about what was found inside it.
Many AI image generators quietly label their output inside the file — in content credentials, EXIF and metadata fields, or hidden text chunks. This free AI image checker inspects those places and reports what it finds. Be clear about its limits: it is a basic check. A fingerprint is strong evidence an image was AI-made, but a clean result does not prove an image is real, because metadata can be stripped. Use it as a first check, not a final verdict.
How to use the AI image checker
Add the image — choose the photo or image file you want to check.
Run the check — the tool reads the file's credentials, metadata and hidden chunks.
Read the findings — see any AI fingerprints, generator names or credentials found.
Judge with context — treat a fingerprint as strong evidence, and a clean file as 'no evidence found', not proof.
What you get
Content credentials (C2PA) — checks for the industry provenance labels AI tools embed.
Generator metadata — looks for tags naming AI image generators.
Hidden text chunks — inspects the file corners screenshots and re-saves often miss.
Honest reporting — tells you exactly what was found, and what a clean result does and does not mean.
Frequently asked questions
How can I tell if an image was generated by AI?
This checker reads the image file itself for AI fingerprints — content credentials (C2PA), generator metadata and hidden text chunks left by AI image tools. A fingerprint is strong evidence the image was AI-made; a clean result is not proof an image is real, because metadata can be removed.
What is a C2PA content credential?
Content credentials are a provenance standard that cameras and AI generators use to record where an image came from and how it was made, stored inside the file itself. This checker looks for them.
Can this checker prove an image is real?
No — and it does not claim to. It reports the fingerprints it finds inside the file. No fingerprints means no evidence was found in the file, not a guarantee the image is genuine.
