AnyFact free plan
What a free check should still give you
Many free detectors return a single percentage and nothing else. A number without reasons is hard to act on, and it suggests more certainty than any detector has.
AnyFact reads provenance data first, then scores the image with an open-source detector. When the result is borderline, a second model reviews it and the verdict is explained in plain words.
The free plan gives every account credits each month, so anyone can check an image before trusting it. The result is an indication, not proof — and we say so on every report.
Does this sound familiar?
- You want to check a single image without committing to a subscription.
- You saw a viral picture and want a second look before sharing it.
- Another tool gave you a bare percentage and you want the reasons.
Here's what we check
Upload or paste a link
JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC, up to 20 MB.
Provenance, then detection
Content credentials and metadata are read first; if they do not settle it, the classifier scores the image and visible anomalies are listed.
A verdict in three levels
Probably human, uncertain or probably AI — never a bare percentage — with a short explanation and the limits of the method.
How to read the result
The signals point to a person. It is not a guarantee: a careful generator or heavy editing can leave few traces.
The signals disagree or are too weak. We say so rather than guess, and list what was found.
The signals point to generation. It is an indication, not proof — check the context before acting.
Sample layout. Real reports name the signals that were checked and the limits of the method.
What does the free AI image detector include?
A free account gets the same photo analysis as a paid one, with every part of the result. The only limit is the number of credits.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Credits | 10 a month with a free account, no credit card |
| Cost of one image check | 1 credit |
| Accepted images | JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC up to 20 MB, or a link |
| Verdict | Probably human, uncertain or probably AI, never a bare percentage |
| With every result | The signals, a plain-language explanation, the limits of the method, a PDF report and a “the result is wrong” button |
| Language of the explanation | English, French or Arabic |
| File retention | Uploaded files are deleted after 30 days |
Credits are shared across the seven detectors. The same 10 monthly credits can go to images, or to a text, voice or video check when an image comes with other content.
Can you check if an image is AI-generated for free without an account?
You can start one analysis before you sign up. The result appears once you create a free account.
This first test covers one photo, video, voice or text analysis. It lets you see what a complete result looks like, with its signals and its limits, before you decide whether an account is worth creating.
- 01Open the AnyFact home page and add your image there.
- 02Start the analysis. The provenance check, the classifier and, when needed, the second opinion run as usual.
- 03Create a free account to see the verdict, the signals and the explanation.
- 04Use the 10 credits the free account gets each month for your next checks.
How to get the most out of each free AI image check
Each check uses a credit, so a little preparation pays off. These habits also make any other detector more useful.
- 01Start from the original file. A forwarded or screenshotted copy has lost its metadata, which removes the most explicit signal an image can carry.
- 02Do not crop before uploading. The classifier needs to see the whole picture, and crops are among the hardest cases.
- 03In a series, check the most telling image first. On a dating or marketplace profile, pick the photo that looks the most polished; our page on fake dating profiles explains what else to look at.
- 04Read the signals before spending another credit. They often tell you what to verify by hand next.
- 05Treat “uncertain” as information. It means the image alone cannot settle the question, so look for its source rather than uploading the same file again.
What to compare when choosing a free AI image checker
Free tools differ less in price than in what they tell you. Before you rely on one, ask these questions.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Does it read content credentials and metadata? | Provenance is the most explicit signal an image can carry, and it is cheap to check. |
| Does it give reasons, or only a number? | You cannot verify or explain a bare score to anyone else. |
| Does it have an “uncertain” outcome? | A tool that is always confident hides the cases where it is guessing. |
| Does it state its limits? | Every detector can be wrong in both directions; a tool that says so is easier to use well. |
| What happens to your file? | Look for a stated retention period before you upload anything personal. |
| Can you keep a record? | A report helps when you need to justify a decision later. |
Free or not, no detector settles the question on its own. Our guide are AI detectors accurate? explains why, and how to combine a result with your own checks.
Before you check
Is the result proof that a content was made by AI?▼
No. It is an indication, not proof. Detectors can be wrong in both directions, especially on compressed, cropped, edited or very short content. Use the result to decide what to check next, not as a final judgement on anyone.
Why no percentage?▼
A single percentage suggests a precision no detector has. You get one of three levels — probably human, uncertain or probably AI — with the signals behind it and the limits of the method.
How does the analysis work?▼
When the content carries provenance data, such as C2PA content credentials or metadata, we read it first. Then an open-source detector scores the content. When the score is borderline, Claude reviews it as a second opinion, and the result is explained in plain words.
What happens to my files?▼
They are processed to run your analysis — including, for borderline cases, a review by Claude, Anthropic’s model — and deleted after 30 days.
What does it cost?▼
There is a free plan: a free account gets 10 credits every month, with no credit card. Pro ($15 a month) gives 1,000 credits a month; Business ($49 a month) gives unlimited Business Checks and AI checks under a fair-use limit.
If an image has no content credentials, does that mean a person took it?▼
No. Most social networks strip metadata on upload, and many generators add none. Missing credentials prove nothing either way; they are one signal among several.
Is the free version of the AI image detector limited?▼
Not in features. Every plan, free included, gets the full photo analysis: provenance check, classifier, anomaly list, a second opinion on borderline images, the explanation and the PDF report. What limits you is the number of credits.
Do I need a credit card to get the free credits?▼
No. A free account gets 10 credits a month and does not ask for a credit card.
Can I use the free credits on other detectors?▼
Yes. Credits work across all seven detectors. A photo, text or code check uses 1 credit, a voice check 2, a document 3, a video 5 and a website 10.
