AI Image Detector

The most reliable signs are: distorted hands (extra or missing fingers, weird bends), asymmetrical faces, garbled text in signs or clothing, backgrounds that warp or don't make sense, overly smooth or waxy skin, and accessories that seem to melt or merge with the body.

Detection tools like Hive, Illuminarty, and AI or Not can help but aren't 100% accurate. They work best on unedited images. Compressed, cropped, or filtered images are harder to detect. Use them as one data point, not definitive proof.

Common scam uses include: fake dating profiles (romance scams), fake product photos (shopping scams), fake news images (misinformation), fake influencer accounts, fake employee photos on scam business websites, and fake ID documents.

Use Google Images (click camera icon), TinEye.com, or Yandex Images. Upload or paste the image URL. If you find no other instances online, or only on suspicious sites, be wary. Real photos usually have a history.
