Uploaded images are not saved by this site. Live checks send images to Hive, whose default retention is 14 days.
Use the original file when possible. Screenshots and re-compression may make detection less reliable.
3 guest checks are available without sign-up. If Google access is enabled, it provides 10 checks per UTC month. Shared capacity limits apply.

We check the signal
The service looks for patterns associated with AI-generated images. It can also return an inconclusive finding.
Read what it means
See the finding, the model signal, the input details, and the limits before deciding what to verify next.
Helpful signal, limited conclusion.
A result can help you ask a better next question. It cannot turn a photo into a source, identity, ownership, or transaction certificate.
Read the methodology- It checks for signs associated with AI generation.
- A clear signal can still be wrong.
- “No clear AI signs” does not mean “verified real.”
Free access. Guests can complete three checks. If Google access is configured, signed-in users can complete ten checks per UTC month. Shared daily, rolling, and cost limits can pause new checks.
Method and limits. Hive checks patterns associated with AI generation. Editing, resizing, and compression can change those signals, so an inconclusive result or human review may be the right next step.

Frequently Asked Questions.
How do I use it?
Choose one image, select Check image, and read the finding and its limits. The first three guest checks are designed to work without an account, subject to shared availability.
What file types and sizes are supported?
JPG, PNG, and static WebP up to 6 MB and 12 megapixels, with both sides at least 300 pixels. Animated files are not supported.
Can I upload a screenshot?
Yes, if it meets the file limits. Screenshots and re-compressed images may lose information useful for detection, so use the original when possible.
Do you keep my photo or result?
We do not save uploaded images on our servers. When live detection is enabled, images are sent to Hive, whose default retention period is 14 days. An encrypted server replay cache makes a completed response unavailable after 24 hours, and expired data is physically deleted by cleanup that runs while the site is in use. There is no user history or report download in this first release.
How accurate is it?
There is no accuracy figure that describes every image. Generators, editing, compression, image quality, and processing affect results; false positives and false negatives are possible.
Why was my own photo flagged as AI?
Detectors can make mistakes. An AI signal is not proof that you generated an image. Keep the original file and review the limitations before drawing a conclusion.
My photo was flagged and it is not AI. What can I do?
Keep the original and relevant capture or editing history, and ask for human review where appropriate. A detector result does not prove that your photo is real or that you created it.
Can it detect deepfake videos?
No. This version checks single images only and does not provide video or audio analysis.
Can it tell me which AI made an image?
No. It checks for signs associated with AI generation, not the identity of a generator or creator.
How many free checks can I use?
Guests can complete three checks. If Google access is configured and available, a signed-in account can complete ten checks per UTC calendar month. Both are subject to the shared daily, rolling, and cost limits.
Is there a batch option or an API?
Not in this version. Each check handles one image.
Can I use the result as proof or save a report?
No. A detector finding is not legal, authenticity, ownership, or identity proof. The first release shows the complete result in the current browser session and does not provide history, saved reports, PDF downloads, private records, or share links.
