Is That Image Real?

I Spy AI detects AI-generated images, deepfakes, and synthetic media — in your browser, or directly inside Claude, Cursor, and any other MCP-compatible AI agent.

3 free analyses every month

How It Works

1. Upload

Drop any JPEG, PNG, or WebP image — up to 15MB.

2. Analyze

Our algorithm scans for AI fingerprints, synthetic artifacts, and deepfake patterns.

3. Get Results

Receive a clear verdict in seconds — real or AI-generated.

Why I Spy AI

Detect Deepfakes

Spot manipulated faces and AI-generated people before you share or believe what you see.

Verify Artwork

Stop paying human prices for 5-second AI prompts. Confirm a piece is genuinely hand-crafted.

Privacy First

Images are analyzed and immediately discarded — never stored, never used for training.

For AI Agents & Developers

Give Your AI Agent Eyes

I Spy AI ships a Model Context Protocol server so Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible client can verify images before trusting them.

One-Line Install

Add a single MCP server entry to Claude Desktop, Cursor, or your agent framework — no SDK required.

analyze_image Tool

Pass an image URL or base64 payload. The agent gets back a clear verdict, confidence, and supporting signals.

Stop AI Hallucinations

Let your agent ground its reasoning in real content — never confidently describe a synthetic image as fact again.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is I Spy AI at detecting AI-generated images?

I Spy AI detects AI-generated images, deepfakes, and synthetic media by analyzing images for AI fingerprints, synthetic artifacts, and deepfake patterns.

Does I Spy AI store the images I upload?

No. Images are analyzed in real time and immediately discarded after the result is returned. I Spy AI never stores, shares, or uses your images for training.

What image formats does I Spy AI support?

I Spy AI supports JPEG, PNG, and WebP images up to 15 MB, both via the browser dashboard and the MCP analyze_image tool.

How much does I Spy AI cost?

Free accounts get 3 image analyses every month — no credit card required. For unlimited analyses, the subscription is $5.99/month after a 7-day free trial. Cancel anytime.

What is the I Spy AI MCP server?

A Model Context Protocol endpoint that exposes an analyze_image tool. AI agents like Claude Desktop and Cursor call it to detect whether an image is AI-generated — returning a verdict, confidence score, and supporting signals without leaving your AI workflow.

Can I use I Spy AI to verify artwork authenticity?

Yes. I Spy AI is designed to help buyers, collectors, and marketplaces verify that digital artwork is genuinely hand-crafted and not produced by an AI generator like Midjourney, DALL-E, or Stable Diffusion.

How can I tell if a profile picture is AI-generated?

Common signs include unnaturally smooth skin, blurred background details, asymmetric ears or jewelry, and oddly perfect facial symmetry. The most reliable method is uploading the photo to an AI detector — I Spy AI analyzes for the invisible statistical fingerprints AI generators leave behind.

Can I Spy AI detect Midjourney, DALL-E, and Stable Diffusion images?

Yes. I Spy AI is trained on images from major AI generators including Midjourney, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, and Adobe Firefly. It detects the distinct statistical fingerprints each tool leaves behind rather than relying on visual cues alone.

How do I know if a photo has been deepfaked?

Deepfakes are designed to look authentic and are difficult to spot by eye. I Spy AI scans for subtle inconsistencies in lighting, texture, and frequency patterns that deepfake generation introduces — giving you an objective verdict instead of a gut feeling.

Is there a free AI image detector I can use?

Yes. I Spy AI is free for 3 image analyses per month — no credit card required. Free accounts use the same detection algorithm as paid subscribers. For unlimited analyses, the subscription is $5.99/month after a 7-day free trial.

What does AI-generated art look like compared to real art?

AI art often shows garbled text, hands with wrong finger counts, backgrounds that dissolve into incoherence, and a hyper-polished quality that feels slightly unreal. Newer models are increasingly convincing though — a dedicated AI detector is the most reliable way to know for sure.
