Which AI image generators we detect
AI or Not has been detecting AI imagery longer than anyone, fighting AI with AI. Detection is based on the pixel content of the image, not metadata, watermarks or provenance signals such as EXIF or C2PA content credentials, so a screenshot, a re-save or stripped metadata will still get caught. Our models are updated frequently for new adversarial attacks and major generative releases.

Detect AI images at scale with the API
The same detection that runs above is available as an API and as an MCP server. One POST returns the AI verdict, a per-generator breakdown and a separate deepfake signal, with a 95th-percentile response of one second or less.
curl --request POST \ --url https://api.aiornot.com/v2/image/sync \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer $AIORNOT_API_KEY' \ --form 'image=@image.jpeg'

How AI Image Detection Works
AI or Not analyzes the pixel-level information of an image and compares it against the patterns of real photographs versus AI-generated ones. Our models are updated frequently for new adversarial attacks and major generative releases, so your confidence (score) holds up against the latest generators.
