Check image origin
Read the credentials and fingerprints an image carries about how it was made.
Read locally, never uploaded
Pick an image to see where it says it came from.
How it works
- Choose an image.
- See its Content Credentials and metadata signals.
- Judge the origin with the evidence in front of you.
Was this made by a camera, a person, or a model?
More and more images carry an answer inside the file itself. Content Credentials (the C2PA standard, backed by Adobe, Microsoft, OpenAI, Google, and others) embed a signed record of how a file was made: which tool created it, what happened to it since, and whether AI was involved.
Even without credentials, generators leave fingerprints — a software tag, a creator string, a leftover prompt in the metadata. This tool reads all of it and lays the evidence out plainly.
Read the result with care
A credential saying "AI-generated" is strong evidence. No credential proves nothing: metadata can be stripped (our own metadata remover does exactly that), and plenty of honest photos carry none. Treat an empty report as "unknown", not "authentic".
Questions
- What are Content Credentials (C2PA)?
- C2PA is an open standard that embeds a signed manifest inside an image or video: which tool made it, what edits followed, and whether AI generation was involved. Adobe, Microsoft, OpenAI, Google, Meta and others write them into their tools' output.
- Does this verify the cryptographic signature?
- No. It reads the embedded credential and shows you what it claims — the signing tool, history, and AI flags — and tells you a signature is present. Full cryptographic verification against the signing authority needs the official C2PA toolchain.
- If no credentials are found, is the image real?
- Not necessarily. Metadata can be removed and many genuine photos have no credentials. An empty report means 'no evidence in the file', not proof of authenticity either way.
- What are AI generator fingerprints?
- Generators often write their name into metadata — a Software or CreatorTool tag like Midjourney, DALL·E, Stable Diffusion, or Firefly, sometimes even the generation prompt. This tool scans for the known signatures.
- Is the image uploaded to check it?
- No. The credential and metadata reading runs entirely in your browser tab — the file never leaves your device.
