Image Metadata & Content Credentials Checker
Read an image's hidden provenance — C2PA Content Credentials, camera EXIF, AI-generation tags and invisible watermarks — to see who or what made it.
Drop, paste, or click to upload an image
Tip: upload the original file — screenshots and re-saves strip metadata.
What this tool reads
- Content Credentials (C2PA) — the cryptographically signed origin record used by OpenAI, Adobe Firefly, Google, Microsoft and newer cameras. We show the verified signer and whether it says AI or camera.
- Camera EXIF — make/model, date, lens, exposure, GPS — the fingerprints of a real capture.
- AI-generation tags — IPTC/XMP DigitalSourceType, generator software tags, and Stable Diffusion parameters.
- Invisible watermarks — the Stable Diffusion watermark, which survives screenshots.

Frequently asked questions
How do I check an image's metadata?
Upload it above. The checker reads its Content Credentials, EXIF, AI tags and watermark, and shows who/what made it and whether it's AI-generated.
What are Content Credentials (C2PA)?
A cryptographically signed record of an image's origin, attached by tools like OpenAI, Adobe Firefly and Google. We read the signer and whether it validates.
Can it detect AI from metadata alone?
Yes when provenance is present. If metadata was stripped (common for screenshots), it falls back to visual analysis — shown as a probability.
Is it free and private?
Yes — free, no sign-up, and your image is deleted after analysis.
