Free AI detectors
Check whether a photo, a piece of artwork or a piece of writing was made by AI, and see the evidence behind the answer.
Pick the detector for what you have: the AI Image Detector for pictures that look photographic, the AI Art Detector for illustrations, paintings and digital art, and the Ai Text Detector for essays, articles and messages.
Each one gives a verdict and the signals it is based on, so you can judge the result yourself instead of taking it on trust.
The image and art detectors run two checks on every file. One reads the pixels for the patterns that image generators leave behind; the other reads the file's metadata for a generator's label, a saved Stable Diffusion prompt or Content Credentials (C2PA).

Questions about the AI detectors
Can an AI detector be certain?
No detector can. Treat the verdict as a strong signal and look at the evidence it shows, especially for heavily edited images or text that was rewritten by hand.
Which detector should I use for a drawing?
The AI Art Detector. It looks at illustrations, paintings and digital art; the AI Image Detector is for pictures that look like photos.
What does the text detector show?
An estimate for the whole text and the passages that read as machine-written, with the reasons behind it.
Do you keep what I check?
No. Uploads are deleted from our servers an hour after processing.
Are the image and art detectors free?
Yes. You get 20 free credits a day and each check uses 10, so that is two free checks a day. You don't need an email address or an account.
Why can a real photo or drawing be flagged as AI?
Heavy retouching, beauty filters, upscaling and noise reduction can make real work look generated, and so can very smooth digital painting. Screenshots and social media uploads also strip the metadata, which leaves only the pixel check. Look at the confidence and the evidence before you decide.
Does the text detector work on short texts?
Not below 150 words: it does not score shorter texts at all, because every detector gets less reliable the shorter the text is. Paste a whole essay, article or message thread for a result worth reading.
