What is an AI image detector?
An AI image detector helps determine whether an image was created by artificial intelligence or a person. It analyses visual patterns, artifacts, and other signals commonly associated with AI-generated content, then provides a percentage-based confidence score indicating the likelihood of AI involvement.
Use it to validate the origin and authenticity of images shared in news stories, social media posts, online marketplaces, and profile pages before you publish, share, or rely on them.

AI image detector FAQs
Does image quality affect the detection accuracy?
Yes. Higher-resolution images with less compression generally produce more accurate results, while heavily compressed, blurry, or low-resolution images may reduce detection confidence.
What types of images are supported and how long does it take to analyze an image?
The AI image detector supports common formats such as JPG, JPEG, PNG, and WebP, covering most images shared online, downloaded from social media, or exported from design tools. Simply upload your file and the detector will return a result in just a few seconds.
Does AI image checker work on AI-generated images from Midjourney, DALL·E, and Stable Diffusion?
Yes. Our AI image checker is trained to recognize visual patterns commonly found in images generated by popular models like Midjourney, DALL·E, and Stable Diffusion.
How does the AI image detector identify AI-created patterns?
It analyzes visual cues such as texture inconsistencies, lighting artifacts, repetitive details, and structural patterns that are typical of AI-generated imagery.
Is Quillbot's AI image detector tool free to use?
Yes. Quillbot’s AI image detector is free to use, with no subscription or hidden fees necessary.
Can it detect edited or partially AI-generated images?
Yes. our AI photo detector can identify signs of partial AI generation or manipulation, including AI-enhanced sections within otherwise real images.
Can AI image detector detects deepfake images or face swaps?
Yes, our AI image checker can flag many deepfake-style artifacts and AI-based face swaps, though results may vary depending on image quality and editing complexity.
