Is this image AI-generated?
Drop in an image and get an answer in seconds. MediaSens checks for signed Content Credentials (C2PA), hidden generator metadata, and the visual fingerprints left by ChatGPT, DALL·E, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and Adobe Firefly — then explains what it found in plain language.
Analysis runs in your browser and your file stays on your device. Nothing is uploaded unless you choose to save a report. AI summaries use only the extracted metadata, not the image itself.
What we analyze
C2PA Provenance
Verify content authenticity with C2PA (Content Credentials). See the full edit history, producer information, and signing details.
AI Content Detection
Analyze frequency patterns, noise consistency, and texture regularity to detect possible AI-generated content using statistical heuristics.
Image Metadata
Extract detailed EXIF data including camera info, GPS coordinates, timestamps, and software information from images.
Reverse Image Search
Search for your image across the web using Google Lens and TinEye to find its original source or see where else it appears.
