AI Video Detector — Check a Link or Upload
Check a YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or X video, or upload an original file for a deeper review.
Evidence first, not a verdict. Review likelihood, confidence, checked signals, and limits before acting.
AI video check

PendingWhy it helps
Check suspicious videos before you share them
Some videos look real at first glance. Then something feels off: the face moves strangely, the hands blur, the audio feels inconsistent with the clip, or the clip appears during a breaking news event with no clear source. AI Video Detector gives you a quick way to slow down.
No manual download when a public link works
Paste a social video link first. If the link cannot be checked, you will see a clear reason and a safer next step.
Evidence, not just a score
The report explains suspicious signals, confidence level, and limits, so you are not left with a black-box answer.
Built for cautious sharing
The result helps you decide whether to pause, look for the original source, compare other uploads, or ask for human review.
Clear failure states
Private, deleted, restricted, or unavailable videos are not silently treated as real or fake. You get a plain explanation.
Supported checks
Choose the right AI video check for your input
Start with the page that matches where the suspicious video came from. Public-link checks are best-effort, and upload is the stronger option when you have the original file and the right to analyze it.
YouTube AI Video Detector
Check public YouTube videos or Shorts for available link and video signals. Some YouTube links may return limited public-link signals, so upload the original file when you need deeper frame review.
Check YouTube videos →TikTok AI Video Detector
Try a public TikTok video link when the media is accessible and within scan limits. Private, removed, login-only, or region-limited videos may fail safely or ask for upload.
Check TikTok videos →Instagram AI Video Detector
Review public Instagram Reels or video posts on a best-effort basis. Stories, private accounts, photo-only posts, and login-only content are not reliable inputs.
Check Instagram Reels →X / Twitter AI Video Detector
Check public X or Twitter posts that contain video. Protected, deleted, login-only, blocked, or no-video posts should return a clear limitation instead of a misleading score.
Check X / Twitter videos →Deepfake Video Detector
Focus on deepfake and AI-manipulated video signals, including visual, motion, audio-video, source, and limitation clues. Results are likelihood-based, not proof.
Check deepfake video signals →Detect AI Video From a Link
Use the generic link workflow when you want to paste one public social video URL first and understand whether link-based scanning is possible.
Detect AI video from a link →Original Video Upload
Upload the original video file when a public link is limited or when you need the strongest available frame, motion, duration, and audio review. Only upload files you have the right to analyze.
Upload original video →Evidence report
What your evidence report shows
An evidence report explains the signals behind the likelihood score, not just a yes-or-no label. It helps you see what looked suspicious, how confident the scan is, and what the scanner could not check.
A report can include AI likelihood, confidence level, visual signals, motion signals, audio-video consistency when available, source/media access signals, unchecked signals, and recommended next steps.
A high score is not legal proof. A low score does not prove a video is real. Use the report as a first-pass screening aid and review the evidence yourself.
Sample full video report
Full video scanAI likelihood: elevated; review recommended
A full scan keeps the score, confidence, signals, limitations, and next steps visually separated so the report is easier to read.
Free reports review available sound at a basic level. Paid reports provide a deeper comparison between sound and movement.

Show checked, limited, and not checked signals
Source and video details
Length, size, and available source information were reviewed.
Visual review
Faces, hands, objects, backgrounds, and changes in picture quality were reviewed.
Movement consistency
Unusual flicker, warping, repeated movement, and changes between scenes were reviewed.
Sound and picture consistency
Available sound was compared with the video. Paid reports provide a deeper comparison.
Platform-private context
Private analytics, account ownership, and platform-internal labels are not available.
Sample limited link report
Limited link scanOriginal media was not accessible from this link
When a public link cannot provide enough video media, the page shows a limited report and pushes upload as the next best action.
AI likelihood
Not enough media
No numeric score when video media is unavailable.
Confidence
Low
Picture, movement, and sound could not be checked.
Why limited: not enough of the video was available. Platform restrictions or sign-in requirements may prevent access from a public link.

Public link/source signals

FAQ
Common questions
What is an AI video detector?
An AI video detector is a tool that checks whether a video may show signs of AI generation, deepfake editing, or other manipulation. AI Video Detector supports public social link checks with platform limits and original video uploads for deeper review.
How do I check if a video is AI-generated?
Try a public social video link or upload the original video file, run the check, and review the evidence report. Link scans depend on public media access; uploads provide the strongest available review.
Can I detect AI video from a link?
Yes, for supported public links when the video can be safely accessed. Some links return limited public-link signals only; upload the original video for deeper analysis.
Is AI Video Detector a deepfake video detector?
Yes, it can check for deepfake-related and AI-manipulated video signals. It also covers broader AI-generated video signals, source/media limits, confidence, and unchecked signals. The result is likelihood-based and not proof.
What checks are supported?
AI Video Detector supports public social video link checks for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and X / Twitter on a best-effort basis, plus original video uploads when you have rights to analyze the file. Some public links may be limited or unavailable.
Can AI video detectors be wrong?
Yes. Compression, edits, reposts, low quality, short clips, missing audio, and partial AI editing can all affect results. Treat the report as a screening aid.
Can this prove a video is fake?
No. The report does not prove a video is fake or real. It shows signals and confidence so you can decide whether more review is needed.
Does AI Video Detector check audio?
Yes, when usable sound is available. Free reports include a basic sound review, while paid reports provide a deeper comparison between sound and movement. The report clearly marks anything that could not be checked.
Why was audio-video consistency not checked?
Some videos have no readable audio, muted audio, restricted media access, or platform-transcoded audio that cannot be sampled reliably. When audio is unavailable, the report marks the signal as not checked and does not treat it as low risk.
