What does this tool actually do?

It runs a series of automated checks on your uploaded image — examining metadata, compression patterns, resolution, and other file-level signals. It then produces a 0–100 risk score and a plain-language explanation. It is designed as a quick first screening step, not a forensic conclusion.

Is the free check really free?

Yes. You can upload one image (JPG, PNG, or WEBP, under 3 MB) and receive an instant automated result at no cost. The only paid option is the Human Review if you want a more careful second opinion.

What is included in the Human Review?

A trained analyst manually examines your image alongside the automated screening results. You receive a written summary by email within 7 working days. The fee is £149 per image.

Can this tool detect all deepfakes?

No tool can guarantee 100% accuracy. This is an initial screening layer that highlights common warning signs. Sophisticated manipulations may not be caught by automated checks alone, which is why we offer the Human Review upgrade.

What file formats are supported?

We accept JPG/JPEG, PNG, and WEBP image files. Maximum file size is 3 MB. We do not support video, audio, or document files at this time.

Is my uploaded image stored or shared?

We do not permanently store your uploaded images. Files are processed in memory and discarded after analysis. If you request a Human Review, the image may be temporarily retained for manual examination and then deleted.

What should I do if my image scores high?

A high score means the automated check found multiple warning signals. Consider requesting a Human Review for a more careful assessment. If you believe you are a victim of deepfake abuse, preserve evidence and consider contacting law enforcement or a legal professional.

Can I use the results in a legal case?

Our automated result is not a forensic report and should not be treated as legal evidence. The Human Review provides a more substantive written assessment, but for legal proceedings you would typically need a certified digital forensics expert.
