Is That Video Real or AI-Generated?
Check if a video is AI-generated or deepfaked.
How do I check whether a video is AI-generated?
Upload an MP4, WebM or MOV up to five minutes and the detector has a video model watch the whole clip for artifacts in motion, lighting and faces, and explain what it found. You get an AI probability from 0 to 100%, a confidence figure and a label, with the signals behind them; it does not name the tool that made the clip. Imagera does not publish an accuracy percentage for its detectors, because it has not run a benchmark that could support one. The confidence figure is the number to weigh. Every result is a likelihood, not a verdict: a high score means the clip looks generated, and a low one is not proof it is authentic.

What a scan tells you
Both kinds of fake, one upload
Yes. The detector covers both cases: fully synthetic video from text-to-video and image-to-video generators, and partially manipulated real footage — face swaps, face re-enactment, and lip-sync dubbing. Deepfake scans of a face photo cost 15 credits; full video scans cost 20 credits.
Know more →A report, not a yes or no
Every scan returns an AI probability from 0 to 100%, a confidence figure and a label, with the signals behind them. It does not name the generator or face-swap tool that made the clip.
Know more →Survives a social re-upload
Yes, with a caveat. A video scan has a video model watch the whole clip for artifacts in motion, lighting and faces, and explain what it found. Heavy compression and re-encoding strip fine frame detail, so a score on a re-uploaded copy is weaker evidence than a score on the original file. That is why the report gives a confidence figure beside the probability rather than a bare yes/no.
Know more →How the check works
Several signals, fused into one score
Upload the video to the Imagera AI Video Detector — MP4, WebM, or MOV up to 5 minutes. The detector has a video model watch the whole clip for artifacts in motion, lighting and faces, and explain what it found. It returns an AI probability from 0 to 100%, a confidence figure and a label, with the signals behind them.
Scan a video →Why there is no accuracy percentage
Imagera does not publish an accuracy percentage for its detectors, because it has not run a benchmark that could support one. A video scan has a video model watch the whole clip for artifacts in motion, lighting and faces, and explain what it found. It reports an AI probability from 0 to 100%, a confidence figure and a label, with the signals behind them, and the confidence figure is the number to weigh. Accuracy on heavily compressed, cropped or re-encoded footage is lower in every case. Treat any result as a likelihood, never a verdict.
Scan a video →What a scan measures
The scan does not match a clip against a list of named generators. A video scan has a video model watch the whole clip for artifacts in motion, lighting and faces, and explain what it found. It returns an AI probability from 0 to 100%, a confidence figure and a label, with the signals behind them, and it does not name the tool that made the clip. For a suspected face swap in a still, run the deepfake check on the face photo (15 credits).
Scan a video →Checking a clip
Upload the clip
MP4, WebM, and MOV files up to 5 minutes long. For longer material, scan the most critical segment — talking-head sections are the most information-dense for deepfake analysis. Typical scans complete in 10–30 seconds depending on length and resolution.
Read the probability and the confidence
The report gives an AI probability from 0 to 100 and a calibrated confidence score. Weigh them together: a high probability with low confidence is a reason to look further, not a conclusion.
Treat it as evidence, not a ruling
Detection reports include an AI probability from 0 to 100%, a confidence figure and a label, with the signals behind them, which can support a human review — but no AI detector should be the sole basis for an accusation. Best practice is to combine an Imagera scan with at least one independent verification method and human review, and to treat the report as documented forensic evidence supporting a human decision.
Who needs this
Newsrooms and fact-checkers
Inbound footage arrives without provenance. A per-method breakdown gives an editor something to reason about and to document, rather than an unexplained score.
Scan a video →Trust and safety teams
Face-swap and lip-sync manipulation of real people is the case that matters most, and it is checked by the same upload as fully synthetic video.
Scan a video →Compliance and disclosure workflows
From 2 August 2026, Article 50 of the EU AI Act requires deepfakes and AI-generated media to be clearly disclosed, with penalties for transparency violations of up to EUR 15 million or 3% of global annual turnover. Detection is how platforms, publishers, and compliance teams operationalize that duty: scanning inbound video to flag undisclosed synthetic content before it is published or relied upon. Imagera reports provide the documented, per-method evidence trail those workflows need.

Frequently asked questions
How do I check if a video is AI-generated?
Upload the video to the Imagera AI Video Detector — MP4, WebM, or MOV up to 5 minutes. The detector has a video model watch the whole clip for artifacts in motion, lighting and faces, and explain what it found. It returns an AI probability from 0 to 100%, a confidence figure and a label, with the signals behind them.
How accurate is the AI video detector?
Imagera does not publish an accuracy percentage for its detectors, because it has not run a benchmark that could support one. A video scan has a video model watch the whole clip for artifacts in motion, lighting and faces, and explain what it found. It reports an AI probability from 0 to 100%, a confidence figure and a label, with the signals behind them, and the confidence figure is the number to weigh. Accuracy on heavily compressed, cropped or re-encoded footage is lower in every case. Treat any result as a likelihood, never a verdict.
Can it detect deepfake face swaps, not just fully AI-generated video?
Yes. The detector covers both cases: fully synthetic video from text-to-video and image-to-video generators, and partially manipulated real footage — face swaps, face re-enactment, and lip-sync dubbing. Deepfake scans of a face photo cost 15 credits; full video scans cost 20 credits.
Which AI video generators can it detect?
The scan does not match a clip against a list of named generators. A video scan has a video model watch the whole clip for artifacts in motion, lighting and faces, and explain what it found. It returns an AI probability from 0 to 100%, a confidence figure and a label, with the signals behind them, and it does not name the tool that made the clip. For a suspected face swap in a still, run the deepfake check on the face photo (15 credits).
What video formats and lengths are supported?
MP4, WebM, and MOV files up to 5 minutes long. For longer material, scan the most critical segment — talking-head sections are the most information-dense for deepfake analysis. Typical scans complete in 10–30 seconds depending on length and resolution.
Does it work on compressed videos re-uploaded to social media?
Yes, with a caveat. A video scan has a video model watch the whole clip for artifacts in motion, lighting and faces, and explain what it found. Heavy compression and re-encoding strip fine frame detail, so a score on a re-uploaded copy is weaker evidence than a score on the original file. That is why the report gives a confidence figure beside the probability rather than a bare yes/no.
What does the detection report include?
Every scan returns an AI probability from 0 to 100%, a confidence figure and a label, with the signals behind them. It does not name the generator or face-swap tool that made the clip.
How much does the AI video detector cost?
Pay per scan in credits. Full video scans cost 20 credits; deepfake and face-swap scans of a face photo cost 15 credits. Current plans and credit packs are on the pricing page.
How does this relate to the EU AI Act deepfake rules?
From 2 August 2026, Article 50 of the EU AI Act requires deepfakes and AI-generated media to be clearly disclosed, with penalties for transparency violations of up to EUR 15 million or 3% of global annual turnover. Detection is how platforms, publishers, and compliance teams operationalize that duty: scanning inbound video to flag undisclosed synthetic content before it is published or relied upon. Imagera reports provide the documented, per-method evidence trail those workflows need.
Is my uploaded video stored or used for training?
Your video is uploaded and stored in your account while it is analysed and afterwards, which is also what lets the scan appear in your history. It is not used to train models and not shared with third parties, and all transfers are encrypted with TLS 1.3. If you would rather it not be retained, delete the scan from your history when you are done.
Can detection results be used in legal or HR proceedings?
Detection reports include an AI probability from 0 to 100%, a confidence figure and a label, with the signals behind them, which can support a human review — but no AI detector should be the sole basis for an accusation. Best practice is to combine an Imagera scan with at least one independent verification method and human review, and to treat the report as documented forensic evidence supporting a human decision.
A forensic scan vs watching the clip closely
| What matters | Imagera | Watching it yourself |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | A probability, a confidence score and which methods triggered | An impression |
| Face swaps | Checked by the same upload as fully synthetic video | The hardest case for the eye — a good swap survives a careful look |
| After a social re-upload | Temporal signals survive re-encoding; the score says how much to trust it | Compression hides the artefacts you were looking for |
| Cost | 20 credits a scan, 15 for a deepfake check | Your time, and no record afterwards |
