Question 1

How does the AI image detector work?

Accepted Answer

The tool analyses your image using six independent detection methods — metadata scanning, frequency-domain (FFT) analysis, colour distribution, noise patterns, edge coherence and texture complexity. Each method produces a score, and the results are combined into a single AI-probability rating. Everything runs in your browser; the image is never uploaded to any server.

Question 2

Which AI generators can this tool detect?

Accepted Answer

The detector is trained to recognise patterns from ChatGPT (DALL-E), Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, Adobe Firefly, Gemini (Imagen), Flux and Leonardo AI. It looks for metadata signatures, spectral artefacts and statistical fingerprints that each generator leaves behind. Detection accuracy varies by generator and image complexity.

Question 3

Is my uploaded image stored or shared?

Accepted Answer

No. Your image never leaves your browser. The entire analysis runs locally using the Canvas API and JavaScript — no data is sent to a server, logged or stored. Close the tab and the image is gone.

Question 4

How accurate is the detector?

Accepted Answer

Accuracy depends on image size, quality and the generator used. For large, high-quality images from major generators the tool achieves strong detection rates. Low-resolution, heavily compressed or heavily edited images are harder to classify. Always use the result as a guide alongside human judgement.

Question 5

Can the tool detect AI images that have been edited or filtered?

Accepted Answer

Light editing (cropping, resizing, basic colour correction) usually preserves the underlying AI signatures the tool looks for. Heavy edits — such as significant inpainting,风格transfer or extensive Photoshop work — can mask or alter those signatures, reducing accuracy.

Question 6

Why does the tool show different scores for different generators?

Accepted Answer

Each AI generator leaves slightly different artefacts. Some generators embed metadata (making detection easy), while others rely on diffusion-based synthesis that creates specific frequency patterns. The tool weighs each detection method differently based on which generator's fingerprints it finds.

Question 7

Is this tool free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The AI image detector is completely free with no usage limits, no sign-up required and no watermarks. You can analyse as many images as you need.

Question 8

Does the tool work with all image formats?

Accepted Answer

The tool supports all major image formats including JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF and BMP. For best results use the original high-quality image rather than a heavily compressed screenshot. Larger images provide more data for the analysis engine to work with.
