Was It AI image detector
Vendor WasItAI Official site wasitai.com How this card is sourced
Updated · AI Detector Index editors
WasItAI accepts images up to 8MB and 10000x10000 pixels and returns a verdict on whether the picture came from an AI generator, according to the wasitai.com home page read 9 November 2026. The free plan covers 10 images a month and the detector carries a BETA label, per the same site. Was It AI is the first image-only card in the detector index, and how this card is sourced explains why its ownership field is thin.

WasItAI detects AI-generated images and nothing else. The home page FAQ names the generators the vendor says it covers: "Midjourney, DALL·E, GPT Image (OpenAI), Stable Diffusion, Adobe Firefly, Flux, Imagen (Google), Nano Banana, Grok, Bing Image Creator, and GAN-based tools such as StyleGAN and BigGAN" (wasitai.com, read 9 November 2026). The result is a confidence score with a detailed report, and a "Report Wrong Result" button lets a user dispute a verdict and, with consent, share the image for model improvement.
Access comes three ways: the web uploader, which takes a dropped file or an image URL; a browser extension for Chrome and other Chromium browsers and for Firefox, with Safari marked "coming soon", which adds a check button over images on any page; and an API, which the vendor says businesses use "to run content-at-scale AI detection" (wasitai.com, read 9 November 2026). The extension needs a free account with API access.
The site publishes no company name, address or parent. The privacy policy, effective 2026-03-27, names Lemon Squeezy as the payment processor and gives an email address as the contact (privacy policy, read 9 November 2026). Two multi-modality cards that also state image detection are Hive and Winston AI; the deepfake-video card closest in purpose is Reality Defender.

The uploader states "Max image size 8MB, 10000x10000px" and warns that "using screenshots may decrease detection quality" (wasitai.com, read 9 November 2026). Guests can check images without an account until a guest limit, after which the site asks for a free account. Plans are metered in images per month and every plan includes API access, per the API and pricing page read 9 November 2026. The page shows a dollar sign and says tax is determined at checkout; no currency code is named.
On retention the privacy policy says: "Images submitted for analysis are processed solely to return a detection result. We do not store submitted images beyond the duration required to complete the analysis request. Images are never shared with third parties or used to train our models without explicit consent" (wasitai.com/privacy, read 9 November 2026). Log data is deleted after 90 days and account data within 30 days of account deletion. The home page FAQ repeats the point: "The images are not stored on our servers for future use."
What the vendor claims
Our AI image detection checker uses advanced algorithms to analyze characteristics and patterns within an image, comparing them against a vast database of real and AI-generated images to accurately determine the image's origin. (No numeric accuracy figure published.)
WasItAI publishes no accuracy percentage and no false positive rate. The home page FAQ describes the method rather than measuring it: the checker "uses advanced algorithms to analyze characteristics and patterns within an image, comparing them against a vast database of real and AI-generated images to accurately determine the image's origin" (wasitai.com, read 9 November 2026). The home page also states that 35 million AI images are created a day and 15 billion exist online; the card records these as the vendor's own figures about the market, not about the detector.
The vendor's caveat is on the same page: "there might be certain limitations based on factors like image quality, resolution, or the complexity of the AI used to generate the image. If possible, make sure to use the original image, because screenshots may decrease detection quality." The BETA label on the uploader is the other caveat, and the card keeps it.
A screenshot of a picture is a different file from the picture, and WasItAI's own warning says the detector knows the difference even when the viewer cannot.
What independent studies found
No study record in the index has tested WasItAI, and none of the nine records in the studies index evaluated an image detector; every indexed sample is text. The detectors with a record are ranked on AI detectors ranked by independent testing, and all of them are text tools.
Until an image benchmark enters the index, the only figures on this card are the vendor's limits and prices. A confidence score on a JPEG is a probability from one model on one file, and the vendor's report button exists because that probability is sometimes wrong.
Where Was It AI appears in the index
Rankings
Fits these use cases
No ranking lists WasItAI. The free tier is 10 images a month, but the free tier ranking sorts words per month, so the card has no value there; the card has no study, no published rate and no language list (detectors.json, read 9 November 2026).
WasItAI appears on AI detectors by content type as an image-only card, the audience view that fits it. All of the AI detectors on the register show the same fields, so a reader can set the 10 free images a month against the free text allowances on the other cards without changing pages.
