Official GAIC image check · Private by default
The official way to check suspicious AI images
Built to be the world’s best AI image checker, GAIC checks for signs of AI, reads photo and file details, spots visible page clues, and looks for supported source proof—all in one private scan.
Important: AI-image detectors can produce false positives and false negatives. Results are clues, not proof. Use them to decide what to verify next—not to accuse a person or clear an image as authentic.
Three steps before you trust a photo
Run the scan, review the warning signs, then check the original source.
Review the warning signs
See what the AI detector found, what the photo and file details show, and whether supported source proof is attached.
Check the source
Find the original post, an earlier copy, or trusted context before you decide what to believe.
One app. Four ways to check suspicious content.
GAIC keeps each warning sign separate so you can see what actually triggered the result.
What GAIC can check
- Visual patterns that can appear in AI-generated photos or sampled video frames
- Camera, software, and editing details that remain in the file
- Supported signed Content Credentials that record how a file was made or changed
- Common AI-style patterns in long English text as a separate check
What no scan can prove
- That a quiet result means a photo is real or untouched
- Who made the content or which tool they used
- That every claim inside a signed creation record is true
- That a screenshot or edited copy still contains the original evidence
