ImageWhisperer
ImageWhisperer is an AI-powered image and deepfake detection tool designed for verifying the authenticity of digital images. It performs a comprehensive 42-check forensic analysis on uploaded images or images extracted from provided URLs, including links from social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and news sites. The tool delivers a plain-language verdict indicating whether an image is likely AI-generated, manipulated, or authentic. Trusted by journalists, researchers, and investigators at organizations such as AP, AFP, Google, and Leiden University, ImageWhisperer helps combat misinformation by identifying deepfakes, AI-generated content, and other forms of image manipulation. The service includes a searchable database of known fake images that is updated twice daily, and offers demo images for users to test the system. Users can start with two free verifications without signing up, and additional checks are available via pay-as-you-go plans. The analysis process typically takes around 25–30 seconds, and the tool enforces an acceptable use policy to prevent misuse such as CSAM or false verdicts.
