A signal for review, never proof

AI image detector, pay as you go.

Check if a photo was made by AI. A free AI-generation signal in seconds, then a forensic report for signs of editing. Your image is analysed, then deleted.

How it works

Two checks: a quick signal, then forensics

Both checks use Winston AI's image models. Genutext shows what they find, with their limits, and deletes your image afterwards.

  1. 01

    Choose one still image

    JPG, PNG or WebP up to 4 MB. Your browser checks the file before anything is uploaded.

  2. 02

    Run the free check

    An AI classifier rates how generator-like the image looks, and reports any Content Credentials or AI watermark.

  3. 03

    Get the forensic report

    Forensic tests look for signs of editing as well as AI generation, with a reading, a confidence level and a written explanation.

Image forensics

What the forensic report looks at

Each test looks at a different trace that generators and editing tools can leave.

AI classifier

A model trained to tell camera photos from the output of AI image generators.

Error level analysis

Highlights areas that were compressed differently from the rest, a common sign of local edits.

Noise residuals

Camera sensors leave consistent noise; pasted or generated areas often break the pattern.

Edge anomalies

Maps unnatural boundaries where objects may have been added or blended in.

Camera sensor pattern

Checks for the colour-filter pattern a real camera sensor produces.

Metadata and Content Credentials

Reads provenance signals such as C2PA Content Credentials and AI watermarks when the file carries them.

Limits

What an AI image check can and cannot tell you

Read the result as evidence to weigh, not a ruling.

Questions

AI image detector FAQ

Pricing, privacy and what the result means.

How does the AI image detector work?

The free check runs Winston AI's image classifier, which rates how much the image looks like the output of an AI image generator. The forensic report adds Winston's forensic analysis: error level analysis, noise residuals, edge anomalies, the camera sensor pattern and the file's metadata, with a written explanation.

Is the result proof that an image is AI-generated?

No. It is a signal for review. Detectors can be wrong, especially on screenshots, heavily compressed, resized or edited images. Use the result alongside where the image came from and any other evidence you have.

Can it spot deepfakes?

It looks for signs of AI generation and editing in a still image. It does not analyse faces specifically, and it does not check video or audio, so it is not a deepfake video or face-swap detector.

Which images can I check?

One still JPG, PNG or WebP image at a time, up to 4 MB and at least 256 × 256 pixels. Animated images, GIFs, SVGs and video are not supported. On an iPhone, photos are converted to JPG when you choose them.

How much does it cost?

One free check a day in each browser, no sign-up needed. A forensic report uses one image check: £3.99, or 5 for £15.95. If a report can't finish, the image check is returned automatically.

What happens to my image?

Genutext deletes your image straight after the check. If you're signed in, your history keeps a summary: the results and the written conclusion, never the image. The image is analysed by our provider, Winston AI, under its own terms.
