Was this image made by AI?
Run an AI Analyzer and EXIF Detector on one image. Review each result on its own terms.
TWO DIFFERENT QUESTIONS
Read model output and file metadata separately.
The AI Analyzer estimates which class the image resembles. The EXIF Detector reads details stored in the file. Either result can be missing or uncertain.
MODEL INFERENCE
AI Analyzer
A classifier score gives a probabilistic signal. Editing, recompression, and unfamiliar image sources can affect that score.
About the AI AnalyzerFILE FACTS
EXIF Detector
See camera, lens, date, and settings when those fields are present. Missing metadata is common and says nothing by itself about AI generation.
About the EXIF DetectorHOW TO READ A REPORT
A result is one clue, not a verdict on the image.
Model scores can be wrong. File metadata can be changed or removed. Compare the report with the image’s source, context, and any provenance information you can verify.
Why detectors can be wrongReview the score
Read the label and its limitations together.
Check available metadata
Treat fields as file data, not authenticity claims.
Look for other context
Find the source or provenance record when possible.
FIELD NOTES
Practical image checks
AI Image Detector vs Deepfake Detector
How image generation classification differs from deepfake detection, and why the tools answer different questions.
AI-Generated Image vs Edited Photo
How fully generated images differ from retouched photos, composites, and AI-assisted edits.
Can AI Image Detectors Be Wrong?
Why AI image classifiers produce false positives and false negatives, and how to interpret a detector score.
Does a Screenshot Have EXIF Data?
Screenshot metadata varies by device, operating system, application, and the way the image is exported.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you analyze
Does a high AI score prove an image was generated?
No. It is a classifier output, and the model can make mistakes. Use it as one signal alongside source and provenance information.
Does missing EXIF mean an image is AI-generated?
No. Screenshots, social apps, image editors, and export settings can remove metadata from ordinary photographs.
Are exact GPS coordinates shown?
No. The report says whether GPS metadata is present and leaves the coordinates out.
