WasItAI is an AI image detector used to determine whether a photo or image was created by an AI generator or taken by a real person. Its core purpose is to help users quickly identify fake AI-generated images.
Main capabilities:
- After uploading an image or entering an image URL, the platform analyzes the image within seconds and provides a result.
- Provides a detailed report with a confidence score.
- Supports API and browser extension access.
- The browser extension can display a small button on images while browsing the web, running detection with one click, without downloading, re-uploading, or opening a new tab; images on any website can also be sent directly to WasItAI for analysis via the right-click menu. Detection results are displayed directly on the image, using the same detection model as the web version, and can be disabled per site.
- The extension requires use with a free WasItAI account that has API access permissions.
How to use:
- Upload an image: drag and drop a photo or enter an image URL.
- The platform analyzes the image.
- Get the result to learn whether the image was generated by AI.
Applicable scenarios (AI-generated image harms officially listed):

- Art theft and copyright infringement: AI can generate images derived from copyrighted works, harming artists' livelihoods and making intellectual property difficult to protect.
- Forged identity documents: AI-generated images can be used to create fake identity documents for identity theft, bypassing KYC checks on cryptocurrency platforms, and other crimes.
- AI travel scams: AI can generate fake images of hotels, vacation rentals, or even entire destinations, making fraudulent listings look legitimate and tricking travelers into paying.
- E-commerce and marketplace scams: AI-generated product photos make fraudulent product listings look professional and credible, allowing sellers to promote low-quality, counterfeit, or nonexistent goods.
- Dating app and social media phishing: Scammers use AI-generated portraits of nonexistent people to build fake profiles, and after victims form real emotional connections, they are manipulated into sending money or sharing personal data.
- KYC bypass and identity fraud: AI-generated faces and forged documents are increasingly used to pass KYC verification at banks, cryptocurrency exchanges, and regulated platforms, allowing scammers to open accounts, launder money, and commit crimes under fictitious identities.
