Check if any photo, image, or artwork was generated by AI — free, instant, no sign-up. Detects Midjourney, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, Firefly, and deepfakes.
Our engine reads the binary structure of every file. Stable Diffusion leaves generation seeds and prompts in hidden PNG chunks. Midjourney embeds version strings in XMP headers. DALL-E 3 signs images with a cryptographic C2PA manifest. We cross-reference all of these against our AI signature library to give you evidence-backed results.
We are one of the few free tools that verify C2PA (Content Credentials) manifests — the new industry standard backed by Adobe, OpenAI, and Microsoft. When detected, C2PA provides near-certain proof that an image was AI-generated, regardless of other metadata being stripped.
The detector maintains signatures for all major generative AI tools. If the image retains any metadata from these platforms, it will be identified.
Fact-checkers and journalists use the detector to verify whether viral images are authentic photographs or AI-generated fakes before publishing.
Check if stock imagery used in marketing campaigns carries AI signatures that may affect copyright status, licensing, or platform terms of service compliance.
Educators and institutions use AI image detection to verify that student submissions, research images, and reports contain authentic photographic evidence.
Few or no AI signals found. The image exhibits characteristics of a real camera photograph.
Some AI signals detected. Could be AI-upscaled, AI-edited, or metadata was partially removed.
Strong AI signatures found — software metadata, C2PA manifest, or AI-specific generation artifacts.
Upload any image or PDF — JPG, PNG, WEBP, HEIC, and PDF are all supported.
Our engine performs a deep forensic audit: software metadata, XMP headers, C2PA manifests, generation seeds, and AI-specific resolution signatures.
Receive a weighted probability score (0–100) along with specific evidence of what was found.
Identify the exact AI model used — Midjourney, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, Adobe Firefly, and more.
Upload the image to EZEPDFTOOLS' free AI Image Detector. Our forensic engine scans the file's metadata, hidden XMP chunks, C2PA Content Credentials, and generation seeds to produce a probability score with specific evidence. No account or sign-up is required.
The detector performs a multi-layer forensic audit. It checks for software/creator metadata tags (e.g. "Midjourney" or "DALL-E" in EXIF), hidden PNG chunks containing AI prompts and seeds, C2PA cryptographic manifests, AI-typical image resolutions (512×512, 1024×1024), and the absence of camera hardware data that real photos always contain.
The detector identifies images from Midjourney, DALL-E 2 & 3, Stable Diffusion, Adobe Firefly, Leonardo.ai, Bing Image Creator, Runway ML, NightCafe, DreamStudio, Playground AI, Canva AI, and many others. It also checks for C2PA manifests used by OpenAI and Adobe.
Yes, partially. The detector catches deepfakes and face-swaps that retain AI tool metadata or were created with known AI generators. However, metadata-scrubbed deepfakes require pixel-level neural analysis which goes beyond forensic metadata scanning. Our score reflects how much metadata evidence was found — a low score does not guarantee the image is real.
Screenshots often strip EXIF metadata, which lowers the detection score. However, many AI models embed signals in PNG text chunks or use AI-standard resolutions that survive screenshots. The detector will report what evidence it found and flag missing hardware EXIF as a suspicious signal.
Accuracy depends on how much metadata the AI tool embedded. Images directly from Midjourney, DALL-E 3, or Stable Diffusion with untouched metadata are detected with very high confidence. Heavily processed or metadata-stripped images produce lower scores. The tool shows its evidence so you can judge the result yourself.
C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) is the industry standard for cryptographically signing media to declare its origin. OpenAI embeds C2PA in DALL-E 3 images; Adobe embeds it in Firefly images. When our detector finds a C2PA manifest, it can confirm with near-certainty that the image is AI-generated.
No. Files are processed in temporary memory-backed storage and permanently deleted immediately after the scan report is generated. We never store, log, or share your images. The scan happens entirely on our secure server with no human review.
The tool scans PDF files for embedded AI-generated images within the document by inspecting image XMP headers and metadata. It does not currently analyse whether the text content of a PDF was written by an AI — that requires a separate AI text detector.
Yes — stripping all metadata using tools like ExifTool removes the signals our detector relies on. A metadata-clean AI image will produce a lower score. However, even without metadata, we still flag suspicious signals: AI-standard resolutions, absence of camera hardware EXIF, and identical create/modify timestamps are structural clues that real photos typically don't have.
