Is this influencer photo edited?
Photos in social feeds and ads are often retouched, reshaped or partly generated. Upload a photo of a person to see a 0–100 score for signs of editing or AI generation.

Best photos for analysis
Scores are statistical descriptions by AI and do not definitively determine whether an image was edited or generated.
The traces the score looks for
Body reshaping
Slimming tools drag the pixels around the body, so straight lines nearby, such as door frames, tiles or the horizon, bend.
Skin retouching
Heavy retouching removes pores and natural variation in skin tone, which Maat Scan measures.
Generated elements
AI tools can now replace backgrounds, outfits or whole people. The vision model looks for signs that the photo was rendered rather than captured.
Editing tags
When the original file is available, its metadata may record the software used.
How to check by eye
- Follow straight lines next to the body. A bend that appears only beside the person is a common sign of a warp tool.
- Compare with photos of the same person taken by others, such as tagged photos or event coverage.
- Look for the platform's AI or edited-content label and for an ad disclosure.
- Check reflections and shadows, which editing tools often leave unchanged.
What the score can't tell you
- The score does not say what was changed or by how much.
- Professional lighting and make-up can look like retouching.
- Compressed screenshots lose detail. Save the original image if you can.
- Please don't use a score to target or shame a creator publicly. Editing is common, and the score is a statistical reference, not a finding about the person.
Questions
Why check influencer photos at all?
Heavily edited images shape what people think is normal, especially for skin and bodies. A score can help you put an image in context.
Does a low score mean the creator broke a rule?
No. Disclosure rules for edited images differ by country and platform, and a score cannot show whether any rule applies.
Can I check a frame from a video?
Yes, but video frames are usually heavily compressed, which makes the score less reliable than for an original photo.
