About AI (Fake) Image Detector
Scammers use stolen photos and AI-generated faces to create fake profiles for romance scams, a practice known as catfishing. Our detector helps you spot the fakes.
How We Detect AI-Generated Images
- Background oddities (warped walls, blended hairlines),
- Asymmetry (earrings, collars),
- Eyes & glasses (misaligned frames, unnatural reflections),
- Teeth & edges (blurred dental detail, smeared jawlines).
How We Spot Stolen Photos (Catfishing)
We run a powerful reverse image search across the web. If the same photo appears on someone else’s social media, a stock photo site, or in an old news article, we’ll flag it as likely stolen.
Why Check Dating Profile Photos?
Romance scammers create a fake identity to build trust before they start asking for money. Checking their photo is the fastest way to see if you’re talking to a real person. We can tell you if a photo seems authentic, AI-generated, or stolen from someone else.
Results
Example outputs: “Photo appears AI-generated: background and hair show artifacts; one earring missing — likely fake,” or “Photo found on a 2018 portfolio — likely stolen.” We can’t guarantee authenticity, but we can raise reliable alarms.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common AI-photo giveaways?
Odd hands/fingers, asymmetrical jewelry, warped glasses, smeared edges, and surreal backgrounds.
Can reverse-image searches detect catfishing ?
Yes, they often can. If you notice that a face is appearing under various, unrelated profiles or stock photo sites, it is best to be cautious and take it seriously.
Do studio-perfect selfies actually raise suspicions?
They might. Photos generated by artificial intelligence sound all too "perfect" and unnatural. It's therefore advisable to request candid or live photos instead.
Can metadata serve as evidence to determine if an image is authentic?
It can be useful, yet it should not be regarded as conclusive proof. Metadata has the potential to be removed or modified, which means it should be considered as just one piece of information in a larger context.
Do I trust profiles that only post one picture?
With limited material as well as the account being relatively new, it is rather a poor sign. It is always best to verify information elsewhere to be certain.
