AI Image Detector
Detect AI-generated images instantly. Scans EXIF, IPTC, XMP & C2PA metadata locally — 100% private. Supports Midjourney, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion & 30+ tools.
AI Image Detector is a free Chrome extension that empowers you to instantly uncover whether an image was created by Artificial Intelligence or a human photographer. As AI generators like Midjourney, DALL-E 3, and Stable Diffusion become increasingly hyper-realistic, it is harder than ever to trust your eyes. This extension analyzes embedded metadata — EXIF, IPTC, XMP, C2PA, and PNG text chunks — to detect hidden signatures left by major AI generators. All metadata scanning happens 100% locally on your device — no uploads, no tracking. For images stripped of metadata, enable the optional Deep Scan feature for pixel-level AI analysis via SightEngine or Hive Moderation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about AI Image Detector.
What is AI Image Detector?
add
A free Chrome extension that analyzes images for signs of AI generation using embedded metadata (EXIF, IPTC, XMP, C2PA) and optional pixel-level AI analysis.
Is it free?
add
Yes, completely free. All metadata scanning works without any account or payment. Optional Deep Scan requires your own API credentials from free-tier providers.
How does it detect AI images?
add
It uses 8 detection signals including IPTC DigitalSourceType, software field matching against 30+ AI tools, PNG generation parameters, C2PA Content Credentials, and camera data heuristics.
Does it work on social media?
add
Social media often strips metadata. Enable the optional Deep Scan for pixel-level analysis that works even on screenshots and stripped images.
Does it collect data?
add
No. All metadata scanning is 100% local. The only time an image leaves your browser is if you explicitly use the opt-in Deep Scan feature.
What AI generators can it detect?
add
Over 30 including Midjourney, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, ComfyUI, Automatic1111, Adobe Firefly, Leonardo AI, Flux, Ideogram, NovelAI, Runway, Pika, and more.
