# AI Image Detector

Canonical: https://image.recordly.cc/ai-image-detector
Tool LLM file: https://image.recordly.cc/ai-image-detector/llms.txt
Product: Recordly Image
Engine: inspect

## Summary

Check images for AI-related metadata, software tags, XMP, C2PA and Content Credentials signals with browser-first inspection.

## User Intent

Use this page when you want a fast metadata and provenance signal check for images that may have been generated or exported by AI tools.

## Supported Inputs

- Formats: image/jpeg, image/png, image/webp, image/avif
- Upload label: Choose images to check AI signals
- Defaults: {"inspector":"ai"}

## Workflow

1. Upload an image: Drop a supported file into the browser inspector or choose it from your device.
2. Review the findings: Check the file details, decode status and metadata signals reported for this route.
3. Choose the next action: Use related tools to remove metadata, convert the image or resize the file when needed.

## Best For

- Looking for C2PA, XMP, software and generator-related metadata signals.
- Screening images before manual review, publishing or moderation.
- Separating provenance hints from stronger forensic or policy decisions.

## Limits

- This is not a forensic AI classifier and cannot prove whether pixels were generated by AI.
- Many tools strip metadata, and many edited real photos also contain software tags.

## Visible FAQ

- Can metadata prove an image was generated by AI? No. Metadata and provenance markers are useful signals, but they can be missing or removed. This tool does not run a pixel-level forensic AI classifier.
