How to check if an image is AI-generated (without leaving the page)

the short answer

To check if an image is AI-generated with verifai, open the extension on the page the image is on and hit scan; it outlines likely AI-generated images with a dashed border and a 0–100 confidence score, all on-device with no account.

The tells everyone learned — six-fingered hands, melted text, garbled backgrounds — are mostly gone. Modern image models clear the obvious mistakes, so judging by eye is no longer reliable, and zooming in on details is slow and inconclusive.

The practical move is to let a detector check the image for you, in place, while you read. Here's how to do that with verifai, and how to read what it gives back.

0–100confidence score on every image verifai flags

Why eyeballing images no longer works

Early AI images failed on anatomy and fine detail, which trained everyone to look there first. Current models render hands, faces, and text cleanly enough that those checks pass, so a confident 'that looks real' tells you very little now.

What's left are subtle, statistical signals in the pixels that are hard to see and easy to argue about. A detector reads those signals consistently instead of relying on whether you happened to notice the one giveaway.

Reading verifai's image result

verifai outlines images it judges likely AI-generated with a dashed border and attaches a 0–100 confidence score plus a high / medium / low level. A high score is a strong signal to treat the image with suspicion; a low or medium one means it's uncertain, not cleared.

Because the outline sits on the image itself, you can scan a whole page of photos at once and see which ones are flagged without checking them one by one.

how it works

  1. 01

    install the extension

    Add verifai to Chrome so it's ready on any page.

  2. 02

    open the page

    Go to the page with the image you want to check.

  3. 03

    hit scan

    Open verifai and scan — it evaluates the images on the page on-device.

  4. 04

    read the outline

    Likely AI images get a dashed outline and a 0–100 confidence score.

frequently asked

Can verifai check any image on a page?
It scans the images on the page you're viewing when you hit scan and outlines the ones it judges likely AI-generated.
What does the confidence score mean?
It's a 0–100 estimate of how likely the image is AI-generated, paired with a high/medium/low level. Higher means stronger suspicion, not certainty.
Does it upload the image somewhere to check it?
No. verifai runs on-device in your browser and keeps no server-side history of what you scan.
Will it catch every AI image?
No detector is perfect. verifai gives a confidence read rather than a guarantee, so treat a low score as 'uncertain' rather than 'confirmed real'.
