How can I tell if an image is AI-generated?
Preserve the original, check provenance, inspect file and visual evidence, and keep the answer inconclusive when independent signals do not agree.

Not a magic percentage
A result you can challenge.
What Made It? is an AI image detector built around inspectable evidence rather than a single unexplained percentage. Open each signal, review file and provenance clues, and see why the result remains inconclusive when evidence conflicts or is insufficient.

Make a defensible decision
Three questions to ask before trusting a result.
What does an AI detector score mean?
It is a model output for a specific file, version and threshold—not automatically a probability of authorship or intent.
What can Content Credentials prove?
A valid credential can bind signed provenance assertions to an asset. It does not make every assertion trustworthy or decide whether a depicted event is true.
