Terms of Use

Last updated: November 9, 2026

These terms of use apply to AIPhotoDetector.tools and every tool on it. By using the site you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Summary of these terms of use

The tools are free. Your images stay on your device. Detection results are estimates that can be wrong, so do not treat them as proof. Use the site lawfully and fairly, and do not use it to harm other people.

What the service does

AIPhotoDetector.tools provides free tools that estimate whether an image was generated or edited with artificial intelligence. The tools read Content Credentials and metadata embedded in the file and run a machine learning model in your browser. All processing happens on your device.

Results are probabilities, not facts

AI image detection is uncertain by nature. Results can be wrong in both directions: AI-generated images can be reported as real, and real photos can be reported as AI generated. Content Credentials and metadata can be missing, stripped or, in the case of unsigned metadata, falsified. New generators may not be recognised.

You agree not to rely on any result as the sole basis for a decision that affects someone's rights, reputation, education, employment, legal position or safety, including academic misconduct cases, contest disqualifications, content takedowns, legal proceedings or accusations against artists. Use results as one input alongside other evidence and human judgement.

Acceptable use

You may use the tools for personal, educational, journalistic and commercial purposes, as long as you:

• only check images you have a lawful right to process;
• do not use the tools to harass, stalk, defame or discriminate against anyone;
• do not use the tools to develop, test or advertise ways to evade AI detection or to remove provenance information from images;
• do not attempt to disrupt the site, overload it with automated requests, or extract and redistribute the model files in violation of their licences.

Your images

You keep all rights to the images you check. Because processing is local, we never receive your images and claim no licence to them. You are responsible for complying with privacy and data protection laws when you check images of other people.

Third-party components

The site uses open-source components, including the Community Forensics detection model (MIT licence), ONNX Runtime Web (MIT licence), the c2pa-web library (MIT licence) and exifr (MIT licence). Their licences apply to those components.

Our content

The text, design, graphics and code of the site are owned by AIPhotoDetector.tools or used under licence. You may quote short parts of our guides with a link back to the source page. You may not copy whole pages or republish the site under another name.

Trademarks

Names of AI generators, apps, camera makers and platforms mentioned on the site (for example ChatGPT, Gemini, Firefly, Midjourney or Instagram) are trademarks of their owners. They are used only to describe compatibility and test results; AIPhotoDetector.tools is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of them.

Availability

The tools need a modern browser with JavaScript and WebAssembly. We aim to keep the site available at all times but do not guarantee uninterrupted access, and the model or the way results are presented may change as we improve the detector.

Advertising and links

The site may display advertising from third parties. Ads are provided by those third parties, and we do not endorse the advertised products or services. Ads never receive the images you check.

No warranty

The service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We may change, suspend or discontinue any tool at any time without notice.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, AIPhotoDetector.tools and its operators are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or special damages arising from the use of, or inability to use, the site or its results, including decisions made on the basis of a detection result.

Changes to these terms of use

We may update these terms of use from time to time. The date at the top shows the latest version. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
