SourceCheck is a powerful browser-based tool designed to meticulously examine image metadata and provide insights into potential editing traces and screenshot clues. It functions as a comprehensive metadata viewer, allowing users to inspect hidden fields within image files without uploading any data to a server, ensuring complete privacy.
Metadata Inspection: Analyze EXIF, IPTC, and XMP data, including camera information, timestamps, color profiles, and GPS coordinates where available.
AI Metadata Detection: Surface any embedded AI-related metadata, such as generator names, prompt fields, or workflow text, to identify AI-generated or manipulated content.
Editing and Export Traces: Identify software export tags, detect if metadata has been stripped, and analyze dimension clues that might indicate how an image was processed or edited.
Screenshot Clues: Evaluate lightweight signals like unusual dimensions, PNG structure, and the absence of camera/device information, which can suggest a screenshot or a non-camera source.
Browser-Based Privacy: All analysis is performed locally within your browser, guaranteeing that your images are never uploaded or stored remotely.
SourceCheck is ideal for journalists, researchers, and anyone needing to verify the authenticity and origin of images. By providing a clear, signal-based analysis, it empowers users to draw their own conclusions about image integrity.
