AI-Generated Image Checker
Look at a suspicious photo, answer 8 guided questions about common AI artifacts, and get a 0 to 100 likelihood score showing which artifacts matter most.
This is a heuristic guide, not a forensic tool. It estimates how likely a photo is AI-generated from visible clues. Heavy compression, filters and editing can mimic the same artifacts in real photos.

Likely Real Photo
Artifacts That Mattered Most
These are the clues that raised the score, ranked by impact.
What to do next
- Run a Google Lens or TinEye reverse image search to see if the photo appears elsewhere online.
- Check the source: who posted it, and does the account have a history of real photos?
- Compare details at full zoom — AI artifacts hide in small areas like ears, teeth and background faces.
Heuristic estimate only. A low score does not prove a photo is real, and a high score does not prove it is fake — filters, compression and editing can create similar clues.
How to use
- Open the suspicious photo and look closely at hands, text, background edges, skin and lighting.
- Answer all 8 questions based on what you can actually see.
- Press Analyze AI Likelihood to get your score and ranked artifacts.
AI artifacts to watch for
- Hands and fingers — extra, missing or melted fingers are the most common giveaway.
- Garbled text — signs, labels and tattoos turn into meaningless letter-like shapes.
- Background melting — objects, hair and walls blend into each other at the edges.
- Plastic skin — unnaturally smooth, waxy skin with no pores or real detail.
- Wrong lighting — shadows that point different ways, or missing reflections in mirrors and glasses.
