Deepfake image checker

Face images get their own page because the stakes are different: a wrong answer about a person's photograph can do real harm. This tool applies the same provenance-first approach, and is deliberately conservative about declaring a face synthetic.

Be clear on scope. This checks whether an image was generated, which is not the same as whether a real person's face was swapped onto another body — face-swap forensics is a separate discipline needing different tooling. Treat a result as a starting point for verification, not a conclusion.

Frequently asked questions

Can it detect face swaps?

Not reliably. A face swap onto a genuine photograph keeps the original camera metadata and much of the original image, so the signals this tool reads are largely intact. Dedicated face-forensics tools are the right instrument for that.

What about AI-generated people who don't exist?

Fully generated faces are the case this handles best — they carry no camera trail and often retain generator metadata.

Should I rely on this to verify someone's identity?

No. For anything consequential — a dating profile, a suspected impersonation, a news image — use this alongside reverse image search and direct verification, never on its own.
