For journalists working on AI-generated media
If you are on deadline with an image or video you need checked, send it to us. We will run it and send back the per-signal evidence, including the signals that could not run and why. No cost, no account, no embargo.
Free forensic analysis, on deadline
Email the file or a link to support@fauxlens.com with "Press" in the subject line and your deadline in the first sentence.
Turnaround: within 24 hours as standard. If your deadline is sooner than that, say so in the subject line and we will tell you quickly whether we can meet it rather than leaving you waiting.
We will send you the verdict, the confidence score, which forensic signals fired, which ones could not run on that file and why, and a plain-English reading of what that combination does and does not support. If the honest answer is "inconclusive," that is what you will get.
Our accuracy figure, and how to read it
FauxLens detects AI-generated images, videos and screenshots with 98%+ accuracy in our internal testing. The test set mixes AI-generated and real images, videos and screenshots, and it is ours, not an independent audit.
Any detector's figure depends on what it was tested on, and forwarded, compressed or very small images are harder for every tool, ours included. The published evidence is blunt about this: Deepfake-Eval-2024 measured image-detection AUC falling by roughly 45% on real-world media compared with academic benchmarks, and the winning entry in Meta's Deepfake Detection Challenge scored 82.56% on its public set against 65.18% on unseen generators.
So every result also shows the signals behind it. Our methodology page documents how each one works and the conditions under which each becomes unreliable - re-compression, social-media re-encoding, heavy post-processing, and generators tuned specifically to evade detection.
If you are comparing tools for a table, ask and we will send per-condition results, including where we lose.
Boilerplate
FauxLens is an AI image and video detector for the web, Android and Chrome that checks whether a photo, screenshot or video was made or edited with AI.
FauxLens is an AI image and video detector that also checks whether photos and payment screenshots were edited. It runs on the web at fauxlens.com, as an Android app with share-to-scan, as a Chrome extension and through a developer API. Every result shows the evidence behind the verdict. People use it to verify payment screenshots, receipts, dating-profile photos and images circulating online before acting on them. A scan reads content credentials and metadata, looks for the invisible watermark OpenAI and Google embed in their AI images, and scores the pixels with an AI-detection model. FauxLens deletes uploads after analysis.

How to cite a FauxLens result
Please attribute a specific scan rather than the tool in general, and include the date - the pipeline changes, and a result from March is not a result from today.
"A forensic analysis by FauxLens on [date] found [verdict] at [confidence] confidence, with its evidence showing [finding]."
Please do not write "FauxLens confirmed the image is fake." The tool reports evidence and a confidence score; it does not certify authenticity, and the confidence score is a weight-of-evidence measure rather than a calibrated probability. A score of 92% does not mean 92 out of 100 such images are AI-generated.
