Check image metadata for AI clues

Inspect image metadata for AI-generation clues, saved workflows and credential markers. Metadata evidence only: no pixel-model predictions or AI probability scores.

  1. Choose the original JPG, PNG or WebP file if possible.
  2. Read each detected metadata clue and its source field.
  3. Check the limitations and download the evidence report if needed.

What to expect

This version inspects metadata only. It does not run a pixel-detection model, validate credential signatures or establish whether an image is real. No recognised clues means unable to determine.

Can it tell me for certain whether an image is AI generated?

No. Metadata can be edited, copied or stripped. A generator tag or saved workflow is a clue about the file, not proof of the entire image’s origin.

Why does the result say unable to determine?

No recognised AI-generation clues were found in the metadata inspected. That does not mean the image is a real photograph.

Does it use an AI detection model?

No. Model prediction is explicitly marked Not run. This version provides no AI probability score.

Does finding Content Credentials prove the image is real?

No. This checker only recognises selected embedded markers; it does not validate cryptographic signatures or interpret a full provenance chain.

Will it work on screenshots?

It can inspect a screenshot file, but source metadata is often absent. In that case it may not find useful evidence.

HOW IT WORKS

How the AI metadata check works

This is a rule-based inspection of embedded metadata, separate from any model that predicts origin from pixels.

Read supported metadata

Bounded parsing examines common EXIF text, PNG text including supported compressed fields, and selected XMP properties. Unsupported or excessive metadata is reported as a limitation.

Identify specific clues

The checker looks for recognised AI-associated software tags, structured generation parameters, ComfyUI workflow patterns and AI digital-source declarations. Ordinary mentions in image descriptions are not treated as generator evidence.

Report credential markers

Selected C2PA-related markers are reported as present but not validated. Signatures, signer trust, manifest claims and external provenance are not checked.

Keep uncertainty visible

No pixel detection model runs. No score is calculated. Missing clues produce Unable to determine, while detected metadata is labelled as evidence that can be changed or copied.
