What "fake image" can mean
A fake image can be AI-generated, heavily edited, miscaptioned, reposted from another event, or presented without important context. One detector score cannot cover every kind of false image.
How this checker helps
The tool gives a quick AI signal and metadata summary so you can decide whether to investigate further.
Fake-image review is broader than AI detection. Always compare the score with the claim attached to the image.
What to verify manually
Check the original source, publication date, account history, captions, and whether the same image appears elsewhere.
Fake image checker FAQ
Does a low AI score mean the image is true?
No. A real photo can still be cropped, edited, old, or used with a false caption.
What if metadata is missing?
Missing metadata is common after uploads to social networks and messaging apps. It is useful context, not proof.
