How AI Video Detection Works
AI video detection looks for signals that may suggest AI generation, deepfake editing, or manipulation. The result is a likelihood-based screening report, not proof.
Important: Reports are likelihood-based screening aids. They are not proof that a video is real or fake.
AI video check
Start with a link or upload a video
Link access is best-effort. Original uploads receive the strongest evidence scan.
YouTubeTikTokInstagramX / TwitterUpload
Fastest
Best-effort for supported public social video URLs. If public media is unavailable, upload the original video for deeper analysis.
By clicking Check a video link, you confirm you have the right to submit this video link for analysis and understand results are likelihood-based, not proof.
Estimated credits depend on video size and duration. Detected platform: Unknown.

PendingThe 3-step workflow
Link-based scans depend on public media access. TikTok and X/Twitter are beta when accessible, Instagram is best-effort, and YouTube may return limited public-link signals. Upload is the most reliable path for full frame analysis.
- Paste a public video link or upload the original video file.
- Review what can be checked and what may fail.
- Read likelihood, confidence, suspicious signals, unchecked signals, limitations, and next steps.
What signals may be reviewed
- Visual signals: faces, hands, object edges, backgrounds, reflections, and texture clues.
- Motion signals: flicker, warping, repeated movement, and unusual changes between frames.
- Audio-video consistency signals when readable audio is available.
- Source clues from the public page when available.
- Limit signals: video quality, length, compression, edits, and what could not be checked.
Why detectors can be wrong
Social videos are often edited, compressed, cropped, reuploaded, or screen-recorded. A real video can look strange after heavy compression. An AI-edited video can contain real footage. A short clip may not show enough evidence.
That is why AI Video Detector separates likelihood from confidence and explains limitations on every report.

FAQ
Questions this page answers
What happens before a scan starts?
The page checks that the input looks like a supported video link or an uploaded video file and that you confirmed submission rights.
What signals are strongest for uploaded files?
Uploads can provide clearer frame, motion, duration, and timeline signals than a restricted public link.
When should a person review the result?
Use human review whenever the result could affect a person’s reputation, a news claim, safety, or money.
