# Is This Photo Edited?

Check a photo for signs of editing, AI generation, hidden metadata, and compression artifacts. Runs entirely in your browser. Your file is never uploaded.

Finds clues worth investigating, not proof that a photo is edited or authentic.

Drop a photo to analyze

or paste an image (Cmd/Ctrl+V) or image URL

JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, AVIF
