AI Art Detector
Updated
An AI art detector is for artists, art directors, competition organisers and buyers who want a second opinion on whether a piece was made with an image generator. Upload a PNG, JPG or WEBP image up to 15 MB to get a probability that it is AI-generated. Art is harder to judge than photos, so treat the result as one signal.
Limitations: Every result is a probability that can be wrong, not proof of how an image was made. How results can be wrong →
3 free scans in total, shared across all five tools (not per day or per month). No signup needed to start.
How the AI Art Detector Checks an Image
The image is sent to a third-party image-analysis provider (named on the How It Works page) whose model estimates whether an image was generated by AI. The result is a probability with a label: Likely AI-Generated at 55% and above, Uncertain at 30-54%, and Likely Authentic below 30%.
The same check returns a separate face-manipulation score. On artwork it is usually less meaningful, because it is designed for photographic faces.
Why Art Is Harder Than Photos
- Digital tools: artists use brushes, filters, 3D renders and texture packs that can look generated.
- Mixed workflows: a human painting over an AI sketch, or AI used to upscale a hand-drawn piece, sits in between.
- Style: flat, smooth or highly polished styles can push scores up whoever made them.
- Compression: low-resolution copies from social media lose detail the model uses.
Better Evidence Than a Score
For commissions and competitions, process evidence is stronger than any detector: layered working files, timelapse recordings, sketches and the artist's earlier portfolio. Asking for these is a fairer way to settle a dispute than a score.
If you are an artist and your work is flagged, keep your working files and share them. A score is not proof, and false positives on human art happen.
If You Commission or Buy Art
Put your expectations in the brief: whether AI tools are allowed at any stage, and what process evidence you may ask for. Artists can then quote and work accordingly, and a disagreement later has a clear reference point.
When a delivered piece raises questions, ask for the working file or an in-progress screenshot before running any check, and treat a detector result as one input to that conversation.
Frequently asked questions
No. It gives a probability that the image is AI-generated, not which tool made it.
Smooth rendering, filters and polished digital styles can look generated. Keep your layered files and timelapses as evidence of your process.
It analyses the uploaded image. A photo of a physical painting adds lighting and camera effects, so results may be less predictable.
We don't recommend it. Ask for process evidence such as working files before making a decision.
