What this page can prove, and what it cannot
AI-generated pictures are now common enough that the eye is no longer a reliable test. Some files carry content credentials — a signed record of who made the image, with what tool, and what was changed afterwards. This page reads that record and tells you what it establishes.
The limit is worth stating plainly: credentials are evidence when they are present, and silence when they are absent. A screenshot, a re-save, a messaging app or a social platform will strip them, so "no credentials found" is not the same as "made by AI". This tool gives you evidence, not a verdict.

Frequently asked questions
Can this tell me if an image is AI-generated?
Only if the file itself carries a signed record. When the creator declared AI generation inside the credentials, this page shows it plainly. With no credentials the honest answer is "unknown" — an unmarked image may be a photograph, a screenshot, or output from a model that does not sign its work. This page reports which of those it can see, and refuses to guess at the rest.
Does this tool upload my image?
No. The credential is parsed, the signature is checked and the hash is recomputed by WebAssembly running in your own browser tab. There is no upload step and no copy of your file anywhere but your device. You can open your browser developer tools and confirm that no request carries the image.
What are content credentials?
A small signed record embedded in a file that describes its origin: which tool made it, whether AI was involved, and every edit made since. The signature is cryptographic, so any change to the record or to the pixels after signing can be detected.
Why does my image show no credentials?
Most images have none. Credentials are stripped by screenshots, re-saving, messaging apps and most social platforms, and cameras only started adding them recently. No credentials means no evidence either way.
Is this an AI detector?
No. An AI detector guesses from pixels and returns a probability. This page reads a signed statement and reports evidence. Those are different claims, and only one of them can be checked. A picture made by an open-source model running on their own machine carries no credentials, and this page will say exactly that — it will never call it a real photograph, and it will never call it AI either.
What does "signer not trusted" mean?
The signature is mathematically valid, but the certificate behind it is not on the official trust list that names manufacturers and software makers allowed to sign. That can mean a self-built test certificate, an internal tool, or a signer that has not applied for inclusion yet.
Can content credentials be removed?
Yes, trivially — a screenshot removes them, and so does most re-saving. This is a known limit of the format rather than a flaw in this page. The one thing that cannot be faked is an intact signature: if credentials are present and verify, the claims in them were made by the signer.
Which file formats are supported?
JPEG, PNG, WebP and AVIF. Credentials can also live in video and PDF, but this page reads images only.
Is it free?
Yes — free, with no sign-up and no limit on how many images you check.
