Understanding AI Video Detector Technology
Our AI Video Detector combines multiple advanced techniques to identify synthetic media, deepfakes, and manipulated content with industry-leading accuracy
Why AI Video Detection Matters in 2025
With the exponential growth of AI-generated content, distinguishing authentic videos from synthetic media has become critical for journalists, businesses, and individuals. Recent studies show that over 96% of deepfake videos are created for malicious purposes, including misinformation campaigns, identity theft, and corporate fraud. Our AI Video Detector helps combat these threats by providing accessible, privacy-first verification technology that anyone can use.
Our Three-Stage Detection Process
Metadata Analysis & Digital Forensics
Our AI Video Detector's metadata analysis engine performs deep inspection of video file structures, examining EXIF data, creation timestamps, modification history, and encoder signatures. This technique identifies inconsistencies in file metadata that often indicate post-production manipulation or AI generation.
What We Analyze:
- •Container Format Analysis: MP4, AVI, MOV, MKV header inspection for editing software fingerprints
- •Codec Signatures: H.264, H.265, VP9 encoder patterns that reveal AI generation tools
- •Timestamp Verification: Creation, modification, and metadata timestamp consistency checks
- •Compression Anomalies: Unusual bitrate patterns and quality degradation indicators
Heuristic Detection & Temporal Analysis
Our AI Video Detector's heuristic detection algorithms analyze frame-to-frame consistency, temporal coherence, and audio-video synchronization. AI-generated videos often exhibit subtle artifacts in motion flow, lighting transitions, and audio alignment that human eyes might miss but our AI Video Detector can identify.
Detection Techniques:
- •Frame Rate Consistency: Analyzing FPS variations and frame interpolation artifacts
- •Quality Fluctuation Detection: Identifying sudden quality jumps characteristic of face-swapping
- •Audio-Visual Sync Analysis: Detecting lip-sync inconsistencies and audio manipulation
- •Motion Flow Analysis: Examining optical flow patterns for unnatural movement
- •Color Grading Patterns: Identifying inconsistent color spaces and lighting anomalies
AI-Powered Face & Facial Landmark Detection
Leveraging TensorFlow.js and face-api.js machine learning models, our AI Video Detector performs sophisticated facial analysis to detect deepfake manipulation. The AI Video Detector analyzes 68 facial landmarks, micro-expressions, eye movement patterns, and skin texture consistency to identify synthetic face generation.
AI Model Capabilities:
- •68-Point Facial Landmark Tracking: Analyzing jaw, eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth geometry
- •Blinking Pattern Analysis: Detecting unnatural eye movement common in AI-generated faces
- •Lighting Consistency Checks: Verifying light source coherence across facial features
- •Skin Texture Analysis: Examining pore patterns and skin artifact indicators
- •Head Pose Estimation: Tracking 3D head orientation for unnatural movements
Technology Stack: Our AI Video Detector uses state-of-the-art neural networks including Single Shot Detector (SSD) for face detection, ResNet-based feature extraction, and custom-trained models for deepfake-specific artifact recognition. All processing runs client-side using WebAssembly for maximum performance.
AI Video Detector Accuracy & Limitations
Our AI Video Detector's multi-layered approach achieves 75-85% accuracy for common deepfakes and AI-generated videos. However, detection effectiveness depends on several factors including video quality, generation method sophistication, and content type. Advanced deepfakes created with state-of-the-art GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks) may evade detection.
Factors Affecting Accuracy:
- • Source video resolution (720p+ recommended)
- • Facial visibility and lighting conditions
- • Video duration and frame count
- • Compression level and codec type
- • AI generation method sophistication
Best Detection Results With:
- • Clear, well-lit facial shots
- • High-resolution source material (1080p+)
- • Videos 10 seconds to 10 minutes long
- • Minimal compression artifacts
- • Multiple face angles and expressions
AI Video Generation Technologies We Detect
Our AI Video Detector algorithms are trained to identify artifacts from the most common AI video generation methods
Face-Swapping Deepfakes (FaceSwap, DeepFaceLab)
These technologies use autoencoder neural networks to swap faces in videos while preserving facial expressions and head movements. Our AI Video Detector identifies common artifacts including blending boundaries, color mismatches, and inconsistent lighting on swapped faces.
Detection Indicators:
- • Visible face boundary artifacts
- • Skin tone inconsistencies
- • Unnatural facial feature proportions
- • Temporal flickering between frames
Lip-Sync Manipulation (Wav2Lip, Audio-driven)
Audio-driven deepfakes synchronize mouth movements with replacement audio tracks. Our AI Video Detector detects unnatural lip movements, teeth visibility issues, and poor audio-visual alignment in surrounding facial areas.
Detection Indicators:
- • Robotic or synchronized lip movements
- • Missing or inconsistent teeth rendering
- • Blurred mouth region boundaries
- • Audio-visual desynchronization
Full Synthetic Face Generation (StyleGAN, This Person Does Not Exist)
GAN-based methods generate entirely synthetic faces that don't exist. Our AI Video Detector identifies these by detecting asymmetric features, unrealistic eye reflections, hair texture anomalies, and background artifacts.
Detection Indicators:
- • Asymmetric facial features
- • Unrealistic eye reflections or pupils
- • Hair texture inconsistencies
- • Background warping near face edges
Face Reenactment (First Order Motion, Face2Face)
These systems transfer facial expressions and head poses from a driving video to a target face. Our AI Video Detector identifies artifacts including temporal jitter, identity leakage, and expression mismatch between face and surrounding context.
Detection Indicators:
- • Temporal jitter in facial movements
- • Expression-context mismatches
- • Unnatural head pose transitions
- • Identity preservation failures
How AI Video Generation Works: Technical Overview
Modern deepfake technology relies on deep learning architectures, primarily autoencoders and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). Autoencoders learn compressed representations of faces, enabling face swapping by encoding one face and decoding it with another's features. GANs use two competing networks—a generator creating fake content and a discriminator trying to detect fakes—continuously improving until the generated content becomes highly realistic.
The training process typically requires hundreds to thousands of images and significant computational resources. Consumer-grade deepfakes can be created in hours using pre-trained models, while professional-grade deepfakes may require days of processing on high-end GPUs. Our AI Video Detector identifies the mathematical artifacts and statistical anomalies that these generation processes inevitably leave behind.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to all your questions about AI Video Detector (sorted by importance)
What is a deepfake?General Questions
A deepfake is a video, image, or audio recording that has been manipulated using artificial intelligence (AI) to make it appear as though someone said or did something they did not actually do. Deepfakes use machine learning algorithms, particularly deep neural networks, to swap faces, synthesize voices, or alter content in highly realistic ways. They can be used for entertainment, satire, or malicious purposes such as spreading misinformation or damaging reputations.
Is my uploaded video safe? Where does it go?Privacy & Security
Your video is completely safe and never leaves your device. All video processing happens entirely in your web browser using client-side JavaScript. Your video is NOT uploaded to our servers, stored in any database, or transmitted over the internet. This browser-based approach ensures complete privacy and security. Once you close the browser tab, all traces of your video are removed from your device's temporary memory.
How does AI Video Detector work?General Questions
Our tool uses a three-stage detection process: (1) Metadata Analysis uses FFmpeg.wasm to examine video file properties, editing software traces, and compression patterns; (2) Heuristic Detection analyzes frame rate consistency, quality jumps, and audio-video synchronization; (3) AI Face Detection uses machine learning models (face-api.js powered by TensorFlow.js) to check facial landmark stability, eye movement patterns, and lighting consistency. These three methods are combined using a weighted scoring algorithm (Face 50%, Metadata 25%, Heuristic 25%) to produce an overall risk assessment.
Do you collect or store my videos?Privacy & Security
No, we do not collect, store, access, view, or have any technical capability to receive your videos. The detection process runs 100% locally in your browser. We have designed our system specifically to ensure your videos remain private and under your complete control. This is a core principle of our Service and will never change.
How accurate is the detection?Detection Accuracy
Our tool achieves approximately 75-85% accuracy for detecting common deepfakes. This accuracy rate applies to deepfakes created with widely available tools and moderate sophistication. However, detection accuracy varies based on several factors including video quality, length, deepfake generation method, and content type. Advanced deepfakes created with state-of-the-art techniques may evade detection. Our tool should be used as one part of a comprehensive verification strategy, not as the sole method of authentication.
Is AI Video Detector free to use?General Questions
Yes, our AI video detection tool is completely free to use with no hidden fees, subscriptions, or limitations. You can analyze as many videos as you need without any cost. We are committed to making AI video analysis and detection accessible to everyone as a public service.
Can your tool detect all deepfakes?Detection Accuracy
No, our tool cannot detect all deepfakes. Advanced deepfakes created with cutting-edge AI technology, high-quality source material, and significant computational resources may appear authentic to our detection algorithms. Additionally, deepfake technology is constantly evolving, and new generation methods may evade current detection techniques. We are transparent about these limitations and continuously work to improve our algorithms.
Do I need to create an account?General Questions
No, you do not need to register, create an account, or provide any personal information to use our Service. Simply visit the detection page, upload your video, and get instant results. This no-registration approach protects your privacy and makes the tool immediately accessible.
Can I trust the detection results?Detection Accuracy
Detection results should be used as a reference tool to inform your judgment, not as definitive proof. A 'high risk' result suggests the video may be manipulated and warrants further investigation. A 'low risk' result suggests the video shows no obvious signs of manipulation, but does not guarantee authenticity. For critical decisions (legal matters, journalism, law enforcement), you should verify content through multiple independent methods and consult professional forensic experts.
What video formats are supported?Technical Questions
We support the most common video formats: MP4 (.mp4), AVI (.avi), MOV (.mov), MKV (.mkv), and WebM (.webm). These formats are widely used and compatible with our browser-based processing technology. If your video is in an unsupported format, you can use free video conversion tools to convert it to MP4, which is the most universally compatible format.
What are the main limitations of this tool?Limitations & Disclaimers
Key limitations include: (1) Cannot detect all deepfakes, especially sophisticated ones; (2) Accuracy varies based on video quality and content; (3) May produce false positives on heavily edited legitimate videos; (4) Cannot verify the truthfulness of video content, only detect signs of AI manipulation; (5) File size limited to 100MB; (6) Not a substitute for professional forensic analysis; (7) Technology is evolving - new deepfake methods may evade current detection.
What data do you collect about me?Privacy & Security
We may collect minimal usage data through standard web server logs (such as pages visited, time on site, device type, and general location) to improve our website performance and user experience. We only use essential cookies required for website functionality. However, we do NOT collect, store, or have access to your uploaded videos or detection results. For full details, please review our Privacy Policy.
What factors affect detection accuracy?Detection Accuracy
Detection accuracy is influenced by: (1) Video quality - higher resolution videos (720p+) provide better detection accuracy; (2) Video length - videos between 10 seconds and 10 minutes work best; (3) Facial visibility - clear, well-lit faces improve AI detection; (4) Deepfake sophistication - professional deepfakes are harder to detect; (5) Video format and compression - some formats preserve more forensic evidence than others; (6) Content type - videos with multiple faces, rapid movement, or poor lighting are more challenging to analyze.
What is the maximum file size?Technical Questions
The current maximum file size is 100MB. This limit is in place because all processing happens in your browser, and very large files can cause performance issues or crashes, especially on mobile devices or older computers. If your video exceeds 100MB, consider compressing it using video editing software while maintaining reasonable quality (720p or higher recommended).
Who should use this tool?Use Cases & Applications

The tool is designed to be accessible to both professionals and general users.
Is this tool 100% reliable?Limitations & Disclaimers
No, no deepfake detection tool is 100% reliable. Our tool achieves approximately 75-85% accuracy, which means there is a 15-25% chance of error (either missing a deepfake or flagging authentic content). Deepfake technology and detection methods are in a constant 'arms race,' with each side improving over time. Always use multiple verification methods and exercise critical thinking when evaluating video content.
Is the detection process secure?Privacy & Security
Yes. Since all processing happens in your browser, your video never travels over the internet, eliminating interception risks. We use industry-standard HTTPS encryption for all web communications. The open-source libraries we use (FFmpeg.wasm, face-api.js, TensorFlow.js) are widely trusted and regularly audited by the security community.
Why did my authentic video get flagged as potentially fake?Detection Accuracy
False positives can occur for several reasons: (1) Heavy editing - legitimate videos that have been edited multiple times may show compression artifacts; (2) Low quality - poorly recorded videos with quality inconsistencies; (3) Artistic effects - videos with filters, color grading, or effects may trigger heuristic detection; (4) Technical issues - encoding problems or file corruption can mimic manipulation signs. If you know your video is authentic, you can disregard the warning. Our tool errs on the side of caution to minimize missed deepfakes.
How long does the detection process take?Technical Questions
Detection typically takes between 30 seconds and 3 minutes, depending on video length, file size, and your device's processing power. The three stages (metadata, heuristic, face detection) run sequentially. Longer videos and slower devices will take more time. You can monitor real-time progress during the analysis.
Can I use this for legal or journalistic purposes?Use Cases & Applications
While our tool can be a helpful initial screening mechanism, it should NOT be used as the sole evidence for legal proceedings or high-stakes journalism. Detection results are for reference only and should be supplemented with: (1) Professional digital forensic analysis; (2) Multiple independent verification methods; (3) Source verification and fact-checking; (4) Expert witness testimony (for legal cases).
