FauxLens analyzes images and video for signs of AI generation or manipulation, returning a verdict, confidence score, and forensic evidence. Its six-signal engine uses ELA, PRNU, GAN fingerprints, FFT, shadow physics, and EXIF forensics. Listed detection coverage includes OpenAI, Midjourney, Stability, Gemini, Firefly, Flux.1, Canva AI, Ideogram, Bing, and Grok. Image cleanup tools remove unwanted people, visual noise, and platform overlays. The web tool accepts JPG, PNG, and WebP images; cleanup exports retain original dimensions up to 4K. A Chrome extension scans publicly accessible images through a right-click, but cannot scan images requiring authentication or blocked by cross-origin policy. The REST API accepts image or video files or a URL and returns structured JSON with verdict, confidence, and evidence by layer. The free plan includes 40 credits, described as four detections; one-time plans start at 2.99 USD. FauxLens says uploaded media is deleted after analysis and scan history stays in the browser. API verdicts are informational, not proof or a sole basis for consequential decisions.
Who it is for
It may suit journalists, HR teams, and researchers assessing whether media is authentic, as well as developers integrating scans through an API. The site cautions against using verdicts as the sole basis for consequential decisions.
