Deepfake Detector
Upload a photo and check if the face was AI-generated or deepfaked. Get an objective probability score in seconds — free, no sign-up.
Checking a video? This detector works on still images, not video files. Take a clear screenshot of a frame that shows the face and upload that image — it's analyzed exactly like any other photo.

Your image runs through a model trained on millions of real and AI-generated pictures and returns the probability the face or scene is synthetic.

A deepfake takes a real person and swaps or synthesizes their face onto an existing photo or video — think a celebrity's face on someone else's body, or a politician "saying" something they never did. A fully AI-generated image is invented from scratch by a generator like Midjourney, DALL·E, or Stable Diffusion — the person in it doesn't exist at all.
Both leave statistical fingerprints that a genuine camera photo doesn't, which is why our detector flags either one. It returns a single probability that the image is synthetic rather than a real, unedited photograph.
How to spot a deepfake by eye
- Blurry or smeared edges where the face meets hair, ears, or neck
- Skin tone or lighting on the face that doesn't match the body
- Teeth and eyes that look "off" — misaligned, too even, or oddly reflective
- Flicker or warping around glasses, earrings, and hairlines
- A face that stays unnaturally smooth while the background is sharp
- Mismatched shadows between the face and the rest of the scene
- Frozen or subtly wrong expressions, especially around the mouth
These tells are getting harder to see as the technology improves — which is exactly why an automated detector is a useful second opinion.

Detect AI-Generated ImagesFrequently asked questions
How do I check if a photo is a deepfake?
Upload it to our free deepfake detector — it returns the probability the face or scene was AI-generated or synthetically manipulated, so you get an objective signal in seconds.
Can this detect deepfake videos?
It checks still images, not video files. To check a video, screenshot a clear frame showing the face and upload that image.
What's the difference between a deepfake and an AI-generated image?
A deepfake swaps or synthesizes a real person's face; a fully AI-generated image is created from scratch. The detector flags both, because both differ statistically from a real camera photo.
Is the deepfake detector free?
Yes — completely free, no account or sign-up required.
