AI Image Detection: Complete Guide
How to tell if any image is AI-generated, tools, forensic signals, and guides for detecting Midjourney, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, and deepfake images.
TL;DR
EXIF metadata analysis is the most reliable signal for detecting AI images. AI generators do not embed camera metadata. Missing EXIF on a JPEG, or exact AI generator output dimensions, is strong evidence of synthetic origin. Use the free ScanErase detector to check any image instantly.
