Choose an appropriate image
Use a JPEG, PNG or WebP image you have permission to share. Consider whether the picture contains private or sensitive information before submitting it.
The model analyzes visible content. It does not establish the original author, authenticity or whether AI was used to create the picture.
- Choose a suitable image.
- Review sharing permission.
- Run the image analysis.
Read observations carefully
A comment about an unusual edge or reflection is a visual observation to inspect in the original. It can have several explanations, including compression, editing or lighting.
Do not treat a confident phrase as forensic proof. The service does not supply a reliable origin probability or authenticity certificate.
- Locate the described feature.
- Inspect the original yourself.
- Keep uncertainty in the interpretation.
Check context separately
For an important publication decision, obtain the original source and relevant context. Compare the picture with the real subject when possible.
Use the model’s description as one part of a review. The origin of an image requires evidence beyond its appearance.
- Record the source.
- Check available context.
- Verify important visual claims.
Worked example
An analysis notes an unusual-looking reflection on a surface.
Inspect the reflection in the original and consider lighting, compression or editing before inferring an origin.
The illustrative interpretation does not label the image as AI-generated.
Before you finish
- Permission to share considered.
- Observations located in the image.
- Alternative explanations considered.
- No origin verdict from appearance.
Questions and answers
Can the tool prove that an image was generated by AI?
No. Appearance alone does not establish its origin.
Should I inspect a reported artifact myself?
