AI Image Detector: Check If a Photo Is AI-Generated

Want to tell if an image is AI-generated but do not know which tool made it? Use this AI image detector for unknown-source checks. Slop or Not reads SynthID watermarks, signed C2PA Content Credentials, and editable IPTC metadata first, then scores the pixels with a classifier trained on millions of human and AI images when no readable provenance or watermark resolves the file. Online checks stay away from outside AI companies.

A SynthID checker finds stamped images. Slop or Not also checks the ones nobody stamped.

It reads SynthID from Google and OpenAI images, verifies C2PA Content Credentials, reads generator fingerprints, and scans the pixels.

AI detection is probabilistic. Results can vary with new AI models and evasion methods. A real photo edited with AI tools can be flagged as AI.

  • You can testPhotos, screenshots, product images, receipts, and profile pictures up to 8 MB.
  • ResultA probability verdict, AI score, and source details when the file carries them.
  • PrivacyChecked on hardware we own and run. We never pass your photo to OpenAI, Google, or any other AI company.

What it checks

Check Unknown-Source AI Images Across Provenance and Pixels

SynthID watermark checks for supported OpenAI and Google/Gemini images

C2PA Content Credentials and IPTC metadata when the file carries them

Image classifier output when provenance is stripped or inconclusive

Good Uses

  • Checking profile photos before trusting an account
  • Reviewing product images before publishing or buying
  • Screening AI-looking images when the source model is unknown

Limits to Know

  • SynthID exists only on images from generators that stamp it, so other generators are checked through credentials and the image model
  • Screenshots can remove C2PA/IPTC metadata, while heavy edits can weaken watermark signals
  • The result is a probability unless a readable watermark or signed credential is present

FAQ

AI Image Detector Questions

Is this also an AI photo detector?

Yes. Photo, picture, and image searches all use the same Slop or Not workflow: check the file for AI provenance clues, then read visual generator signals when the file has no readable watermark or metadata.

Does the online checker run on-device?

No. Online checks run on a private Mac server and are not shared with third-party AI providers. The iPhone and Mac apps run detection on-device.

Can it prove an image is human-made?

No AI detector can prove human authorship in every case. Missing provenance is not a clean bill of authenticity, so Slop or Not reports evidence and probability for human review.

The Slop or Not app checks images and text on-device, so nothing you check ever leaves your device.
