Verify Images Without
Compromising Sources
FakeRadar runs multi-engine forensic analysis on images with no account required. Guest photos are kept for 7 days and free-account photos for 30 days. You can delete them anytime.
Why Newsrooms Choose FakeRadar
Built for the verification workflow
Privacy First
We keep a copy of your photo only to show your result: 7 days as a guest, 30 days with a free account. With an account, you can delete it anytime.
Multi-Signal Analysis
We don't rely on a single model. FakeRadar combines five independent forensic signals — ELA, FFT, C2PA, EXIF, and Hive AI — to give you a layered picture of the content's authenticity.
Signal-Based Results
FakeRadar never says "this is fake." We surface forensic signals and let you judge. This approach is aligned with how professional fact-checkers and digital forensics experts work.
Detection Signals
What FakeRadar checks
Each analysis runs five independent forensic checks and combines the results into a single report you can share or export.
Reveals compression inconsistencies across the image — a common artefact of digital manipulation or AI generation.
Identifies repeating synthetic patterns in the image's frequency spectrum that are invisible to the naked eye.
Verifies whether the image carries a cryptographically signed provenance record showing its origin and edit history.
Reads camera model, GPS coordinates, timestamps and software fields. Missing or inconsistent EXIF data can indicate manipulation.
Industry-leading deep-learning model trained specifically to detect AI-generated and deepfake images.
Verification Workflow
Verify an image in under 60 seconds
Upload the image
Drag and drop or select any JPEG, PNG or WebP file. No account required for guest analysis. Your file goes directly to our analysis pipeline.
Analysis runs automatically
FakeRadar runs ELA, FFT, C2PA, EXIF and Hive AI checks in parallel. Results are typically ready in under 10 seconds.
Review and share the report
Read the signal breakdown, review ELA and FFT heatmaps, and share a permalink so your editor or team can review the result.
Short Retention Policy
Your sources stay protected
We keep a copy of your photo to display the result. Guest copies are removed after 7 days, free-account copies after 30 days, and Pro copies when you delete them. Photos are never sold or used for model training. They are shared only with Hive and Sightengine when those providers process the check.
Guest mode does not require an account. With an account, you can delete an analysis before its retention period ends.
