AuditImage checks an image’s provenance clues
A free image-inspection tool that checks C2PA credentials, AI-related metadata, and EXIF/XMP inconsistencies.
- For
- People checking the provenance of digital images
- Worth noticing
- It distinguishes signed C2PA declarations from editable metadata, and explicitly says it cannot detect invisible watermarks such as SynthID.
Field notes
Instead of collapsing findings into a simple “AI or camera” verdict, the page describes four report categories: signed declaration, metadata self-report, metadata contradiction, and no metadata. Its guides explain JPEG/PNG storage locations and common metadata loss or falsification; the API examples return the same JSON report as the page. The site says uploads are parsed in memory and discarded, while generated reports remain shareable and are excluded from search indexing by default.
