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.
What “fake” means here
Most fake images today are AI-generated — created from scratch by tools like Midjourney, DALL·E and Stable Diffusion. Our detector focuses on this: it estimates the probability an image was AI-generated. It is not a general photo-editing/Photoshop forensics tool, though AI generation is the dominant source of convincing fakes.
Fake photo checker, fake picture checker — same tool
Whether you came looking for a fake photo checker, a fake picture checker, a fake image checker or a fake pic detector, this is the same tool. Drop the picture in above and it returns the probability that it was AI-generated rather than photographed.
Where fake images spread
Think a photo might be fake?
Upload it and our fake image detector returns the probability it was AI-generated, plus a metadata/provenance check when the file still carries it.

Frequently asked questions
How can I tell if an image is fake?
Upload it to our free fake image detector — it returns the probability the photo was AI-generated. Combine that with visual checks and a reverse image search for important cases.
Does it detect deepfakes?
It detects AI-generated images, which includes many fake and synthetic face images. For a deeper look at face fakes, read our guide on how to spot a deepfake.
Is the fake image detector free?
Yes — free, no sign-up, and your image is deleted right after analysis.
Can it tell if a photo was edited or Photoshopped?
It is built to spot images generated by AI rather than edits made to a real photo, so a lightly retouched picture usually reads as real. For edits, use the edited photo detector or check the image metadata — editing software often leaves traces there.
Can I trust the result completely?
Treat it as a strong signal, not proof. It can make mistakes, so verify anything important with additional methods.
