Free AI Art Detector
Check whether an illustration, painting or artwork was AI-generated — by Midjourney, DALL·E, Stable Diffusion and others — or created by a human artist.

This is an estimate, not proof — the detector can be wrong, producing both false positives and false negatives. Don't rely on it as your only source; verify anything important. wedetect.ai is not liable for decisions made from these results. See our Terms.
Spotting AI-generated art
AI art from tools like Midjourney and DALL·E can be strikingly convincing, but it often shows tells:
- Warped or inconsistent fine detail (hands, jewelry, text)
- An over-idealized, painterly “AI sheen”
- Symmetry errors and impossible reflections or lighting
- Backgrounds that dissolve into abstract mush
Our detector was specifically hardened on real paintings (WikiArt) vs. AI art so it doesn’t just flag every stylized image. See the AI art use case.
Is this AI art? Run the AI art checker
If you are looking at a piece and asking is this AI art, the checker above gives you a number instead of a hunch: the probability the artwork was produced by an AI image generator. It works on digital paintings, illustrations, concept art, anime-style pieces and photos of physical canvases.
An AI art checker and an AI art detector are the same tool. Upload the image, read the score, and if the piece matters (a commission, a contest entry, a marketplace listing) pair it with the metadata checker, which shows whether the file names a generator or an editor, and with a reverse image search for the original.
Why detect AI art?
Artists, art buyers, contest organizers and marketplaces increasingly need to know whether a submission is human-made. An AI art detector gives an objective probability to support (not replace) expert judgment.
Is this artwork AI-generated?
Upload the piece and our AI art detector returns the probability it was produced by an AI image generator, trained on a broad mix of art models.

How do I know if art is AI-generated?
Upload the artwork to our free AI art detector — it returns the probability the piece was made by an AI image generator, so you get an objective read instead of guessing.
Can it detect Midjourney and DALL·E art?
Yes. It’s trained on a diverse mix of generators including Midjourney, DALL·E and Stable Diffusion art, and it also reads C2PA/AI metadata when the file still carries it.
Will it flag real paintings as AI?
We specifically trained it on real paintings versus AI art to minimize false positives on genuine, stylized human artwork — though no detector is perfect.
Is this AI art or human-made?
Upload the piece to the AI art checker above. Above about 85% the model is confident it is AI art; below 15% it is confident a human made it; in between, treat it as a lean and check the file’s metadata and source.
Is an AI art checker different from an AI art detector?
No. They are two names for the same tool. Whichever you searched for, the checker on this page runs the same model and returns the same probability.
Is it free?
Yes, completely free with no sign-up, and your image is deleted after analysis.
