Detect AI-generated images in seconds and see why. Invisible watermarks and C2PA credentials can name the exact tool, and our model reads the pixels even when metadata has been stripped.
Tested against 50+ generative models.
Spot synthetic images from the generators people actually use. Sightova is tested on images from the leading AI models, including:
Works Without Metadata
Our AI model reads the pixels, so detection keeps working when social platforms and messaging apps strip an image's metadata. When an image carries an invisible watermark (Google SynthID, OpenAI), C2PA content credentials or EXIF data, Sightova reads those too, and a watermark or credentials can name the exact tool.
