See what a picture is telling everyone who receives it: the camera, the software, the date, whether it carries your location, and whether it carries content credentials. Read here, never uploaded.

Everything below runs on your own machine. The file is parsed here, and no request leaves this page.
Read locally and never uploaded — which matters here more than anywhere: it would be absurd to learn that a file carries your location by sending it to a stranger.
WHY THIS ONE
Most tools reached by searching for this promise to tell you whether a picture was made by a machine. They cannot. What a file can tell you is what it was asked to carry, and that is worth reading properly.
EXIF camera, lens, software and timestamps; the text chunks a PNG can hold, including the prompt some image tools write into the file; XMP packets. Presented as fields rather than a wall of hex, and only when the file really has them.
If a file carries a C2PA manifest — the signed provenance record a growing number of cameras and tools attach — the page says so. If it does not, the page says that instead, without dressing the silence up as a verdict.
No metadata is not evidence about how a picture was made. Every major platform strips it on upload, so the most common reason a file carries nothing is that somebody posted it. We build generation tools and disclose it; we are not going to pretend the reverse can be read off pixels.
PAST THE PAGE
The honest way to answer whether something was generated is for the thing itself to say so. That is what content credentials are for, and it is the direction every serious platform is moving in.
This page is free and needs no account. Generating images is a billed mode, priced above.
How we label AI contentQUESTIONS
Yes, and there is no account. The file is parsed in your browser — no request is made and nothing is generated, so it costs us nothing to serve.
No, and on this page that is the entire point. The file is read into memory in the tab and parsed there. It is never sent to us or to anyone else, nothing is stored, and closing the tab is all the cleanup there is.
No, and neither can anything else that claims to. What this page reads is what the file was asked to carry: if a generator wrote its name or its prompt into the file, you will see it, and if a camera or an editor attached a signed content-credentials manifest, you will see that too. An empty file tells you only that it is empty — most commonly because a platform stripped it on upload.
A signed record attached to a file saying where it came from and what was done to it, under the C2PA standard. It is cryptographic and tamper-evident, which makes a present manifest meaningful — but it is opt-in, so an absent one proves nothing at all.
Because a phone photograph often records exactly where it was taken, and sending the original file passes that on. Social platforms strip it, but a file sent by email, chat or cloud link usually arrives intact. Checking before you send is the whole reason this page reads it locally.
Almost always because it has been through a platform. Uploading to a social network, a messaging app or many CMSes re-encodes the file and drops everything except the pixels. A screenshot starts empty too. It is a sign of where a picture has been rather than of what it is.
The studio behind this tool
Every free tool on this page is cut from PrismPoster itself — six studios that share one credit wallet, one library, and one timeline editor. Where the free tool stops, the studios keep going.
Connect images, video, and music on one node canvas and build a piece across mediums without leaving the flow.
Generate pictures from prompts or references, then refine them in place with Magic Edit — remove objects, retouch, upscale.
Turn a prompt or a still image into a moving clip, in vertical or widescreen for wherever it ships.
Design a character once and reuse them consistently — the same face in new images, scenes, and clips.
Plan a video scene by scene, then send each shot to the studios to render.
Write full tracks with vocals or instrumentals for your videos and streams.
