AiPicDetect runs an open AI-detection model and reads every EXIF, C2PA, and IPTC field a photo is carrying — then hands you a clean copy with all of it stripped. No sign-up, no black box.

— How it works
Three steps. Nothing saved.
- 01
Upload.
Drop, paste or pick a picture. It is sent to the AiPicDetect server, held in memory and never written to disk.
- 02
Detect.
An open-source image classifier scores how likely the pixels were produced by a generator.
- 03
Decide.
You get an AI likelihood, a confidence band and the metadata blocks the file carries — as a probability, not a verdict.
AiPicDetect is a free, open-source tool that scores AI-generated images and strips hidden metadata — hosted or self-hosted, take your pick. Read the guide to spotting AI images.
— FAQ
Before you ask.
How accurate is the detector?
It reports a probability, not a verdict. Scores near 50% are labelled Uncertain; treat any single result as a signal and combine it with other evidence. Read more on how accurate AI image detectors are.
Does my image leave my computer?
On this public instance, yes: the picture is uploaded to the AiPicDetect server (a Google Cloud Run container run by the author), scored in memory and never written to disk. The scrubbed copy is held in memory only until 100 newer results replace it or the container restarts, and nothing is sent to a third-party API. If you want nothing to leave your machine, run AiPicDetect yourself with one Docker command. Details are on the privacy page.
Is it open source?
Yes. The code, the Docker image, the CLI and the GitHub Action are all in the AiPicDetect repository under the MIT licence. The detector is an open Hugging Face model you can inspect or replace.
Can I remove C2PA and other metadata?
Yes. After checking a picture, use Download clean copy. AiPicDetect rebuilds the image from its pixels, so EXIF, XMP, IPTC, C2PA and the ICC profile are all left behind. How the scrubber works.
Which formats are supported?
JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC/HEIF and most formats Pillow can decode, up to 50 MB.
Why is metadata listed?
C2PA content credentials and editing-software tags are provenance hints. The panel shows which blocks (EXIF, XMP, IPTC, C2PA, ICC) the file carries so you can weigh them alongside the score. See C2PA content credentials and how to remove image metadata.
Can I use a different model?
Yes. Set AIPICDETECT_DETECTOR_MODEL to any Hugging Face image-classification model whose labels name AI/fake vs. human/real content.
