Question 1

How accurate is the Fake Photo Detector?

Accepted Answer

Our detector uses multiple analysis techniques to provide a comprehensive assessment, but no detection system is perfect. Accuracy varies depending on the sophistication of the AI-generated image. We recommend using the results as guidance rather than definitive proof.

Question 2

What types of AI-generated images can it detect?

Accepted Answer

Our tool can detect images created by various AI image generators, including those from DALL-E, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and similar technologies. However, detection becomes more challenging as these technologies evolve.

Question 3

How should I interpret the analysis results?

Accepted Answer

The overall score indicates the likelihood that an image is authentic. Scores above 75% suggest the image is likely authentic, while scores below 50% suggest it's likely AI-generated. The breakdown shows how the image performed in each analysis category.

Question 4

What is Error Level Analysis (ELA)?

Accepted Answer

ELA identifies areas of an image that have different compression levels. In the visualization, red areas indicate high error levels which may suggest AI manipulation, while green areas are more consistent with natural photographs.

Question 5

What does the Color Histogram show?

Accepted Answer

The Color Histogram displays the distribution of red, green, and blue colors in the image. AI-generated images often have different color distributions compared to natural photographs, which can be a clue to their origin.

Question 6

Does the tool store my uploaded images?

Accepted Answer

No, we do not store your uploaded images. All analysis is performed in your browser, and images are not sent to or stored on our servers.

Question 7

Can I use this tool to verify images for professional purposes?

Accepted Answer

While our tool provides valuable insights, for professional verification we recommend using it alongside other verification methods and expert analysis, especially in contexts where accuracy is critical.

Question 8

Why might an authentic photo be flagged as AI-generated?

Accepted Answer

Several factors can cause false positives: heavy editing, unusual lighting conditions, artistic filters, or images that have been repeatedly compressed. These can create patterns similar to those found in AI-generated images.

Question 9

How can I improve detection accuracy?

Accepted Answer

For best results, use high-quality, uncompressed images when possible. Images that have been repeatedly saved, compressed, or modified may be harder to analyze accurately.

Question 10

Is the tool being updated to detect new AI generation methods?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we continuously update our detection algorithms to keep pace with evolving AI image generation technology. However, there will always be a cat-and-mouse game between generation and detection capabilities.
