Image Detectors

★★★★☆

Fake Image Detector is a free online tool that can help identify whether an image has been generated, edited, or manipulated using artificial intelligence.

It uses advanced algorithms to analyze images for fakes or potential doctorings with around 70% accuracy.

Who Can Use It:

This tool is intended for personal use in individual projects rather than professional or commercial applications, as it does not provide a confidence score for the user.

How It Works?

It works by running these detection methods:

  • Metadata analysis (examines hidden image data for editing signs).
  • Error level analysis (ELA) (looks for inconsistencies in compression).
  • Uses techniques like local binary pattern histograms (looks for inconsistent or anomalous texture patterns).

Key Features:

  • It's completely free to use.
  • Image upload (JPG, up to 5MB).
  • Automatic image removal after 1 hour.
  • Dark mode option.

Limitations and Considerations:

  • Only JPG format accepted. No PNG or any other format.
  • No batch processing support.
  • User experience is not the best (due to ads).

Update (9/15/24): Can be used to detect images generated by FLUX.1 (Grok) and Ideogram 2.0. Struggles a bit with images generated using Freepik Mystic.
