Check If a Video Looks AI-Generated
Upload a video or paste a link, and the AI looks at the frames and listens to the audio, then gives you its opinion on whether the clip looks AI-generated, with the reasons behind that read. It is an AI’s assessment of what it sees and hears, not a forensic verdict, and it can be wrong.
The newest video generators have cleaned up the obvious tells: warped hands, flickering backgrounds, text that melts mid-scene. A clip that looks convincing on a first watch can still read as synthetic to a model going frame by frame and checking how the audio lines up with the picture. That is the job this tool does. It looks and it listens, then explains what it noticed.
What you get:
- AI reads video frames, not just the audio, plus a listen to the audio track
- A written explanation of what looked or sounded off, as an opinion, not a percentage score
- AI chat with any recording, so you can ask it to explain any part of its answer
- Upload a file or paste a link (YouTube, Vimeo and direct media links)
- Free plan: 2 transcriptions of recordings up to 45 minutes each, with AI chat
How to Check a Video
- Upload or paste a link: Add the video file (MP4, M4V, MOV, AVI, WEBM, MKV, FLV, TS, MTS, M2TS, 3GP, 3GPP, 3G2, WMV, ASF, VOB, OGV, RM, RMVB, MPG, MPEG, M2V, F4V, MXF; the free online tool on this page takes files up to 2 GB) or paste a URL (YouTube, Vimeo and direct media links).
- Let the AI look and listen: It reviews the frames and the audio and forms a view on whether the video looks AI-made.
- Read the opinion: You get the AI’s answer in plain language, with the reasons it points to. Ask a follow-up question if you want more detail on any part of it.
A short, well-lit clip with clear audio gives the AI more to work with than a heavily compressed clip or one with no sound. Treat the answer as a starting point for your own judgment, not a final ruling.

Who Uses This
Fact-checkers and journalists run a viral clip through the checker before quoting it in a story, and read the AI’s reasoning rather than treating the answer as proof on its own. A clip flagged as likely AI-generated still needs the same verification any unconfirmed claim would get.
Brand-safety teams at agencies check sponsored UGC and influencer deliverables for footage that looks AI-generated but was not disclosed as such in the brief.
HR and recruiting teams check a pre-recorded candidate video as a first read when something about a remote interview looks off, before deciding whether to ask follow-up questions.
Dating-platform trust-and-safety teams get a second opinion on a profile or verification video when a synthetic face is suspected.
KYC and fraud teams at fintechs run a submitted video through the checker alongside their existing identity checks when the footage looks unusual, not as a replacement for those checks.
Content creators check clips that appear to impersonate them, to help decide whether to flag or report the footage.
