Actually Real?

See why a photo looks AI-generated. Not just a number.

Actually Real? scans any photo and returns an evidence-backed verdict — with a heatmap, plain-English signals, and an honest confidence level, instead of a bare percentage you have to trust blindly.

✓ Likely Real ✦ Likely AI ? Uncertain

How it's different

Four independent signals, not one score

A trained AI-detection model, compression-artifact analysis (ELA), camera metadata, and Content Credentials (C2PA) — combined into one verdict.

A heatmap, not a black box

See exactly which regions of the photo triggered the result, with a plain-English explanation card for every signal.

Honest about uncertainty

Detection accuracy drops on screenshots, heavy compression, and edited photos — the app tells you when that's likely happening instead of hiding it.
