C2PA Checker & AI Watermark Checker
Upload one image to check C2PA Content Credentials first, then review supporting AI-watermark, pixel, and metadata signals without inventing unsupported provider results.

Analysis starts after upload. The browser reads the original and C2PA locally, then sends a resized, metadata-free copy to Hive only when trusted AI provenance is not confirmed. Hive may retain detection data for 14 days by default; actual retention follows its current policy and account settings.

Deepfake probability
—
Deepfake is a separate face-manipulation signal; it does not by itself mean the whole image is AI-generated.
AI watermark checks are strongest when they find signed provenance or a provider watermark. Missing signals do not prove the image is human-made or unedited.
How to read the result
0%–30% No strong AI signal; real photos and ordinary screenshots often fall here.
31%–89% Inconclusive; compression, redraws, AI edits, reposted screenshots, and mixed editing appear here more often.
90%–100% The pixel model found a strong AI signal.
100% Verified AI Not a Hive model probability; trusted signed provenance directly confirms the AI origin.

Trusted AI provenance
Confirms AI provenance only when the active Manifest is Trusted and includes an explicit generative-AI assertion.

How this C2PA checker reads Content Credentials
C2PA Content Credentials are signed provenance records, not an AI probability score. EasyGlobe reads the original file in the browser first and keeps the credential result separate from watermark clues and pixel analysis.
-
1. Use the original
Upload the source file
Screenshots and social reposts can strip Content Credentials, so start with the least-modified copy available.
-
2. Read locally
Inspect the active manifest
The browser checks supported C2PA data before any resized analysis copy is created.
-
3. Check trust
Separate Trusted from Valid
A Trusted credential is stronger than a valid signature whose signer is not in the current trust list.
-
4. Interpret carefully
Treat “not found” as unknown
Missing credentials do not prove authenticity; use pixel, metadata, source, and provider checks as separate evidence.
What this C2PA and AI watermark checker covers
C2PA checker and AI watermark queries are different from generic AI detector queries. Searchers want to know whether a file contains durable provenance evidence, not just whether it looks generated.

Invisible watermarks
Explains provider-specific watermark boundaries and makes clear that EasyGlobe does not use Google’s private SynthID verifier.
Content Credentials
Reads C2PA locally before upload so signed provenance can be surfaced early in the review.
Metadata context
Adds file type, dimensions, and other basic details that help reviewers understand the evidence.
AI watermark types compared
Different tools use different trust signals. A good AI watermark checker separates invisible marks, signed provenance, visible labels, and ordinary metadata instead of collapsing them into one score.
Signal type
Best use
Weakness
Invisible watermark
Provider-specific evidence such as SynthID when supported.
Coverage depends on the generator and may degrade after edits.
C2PA credential
Signed origin, editing history, tool names, and AI-use declarations.
Can be stripped by platforms, screenshots, or file conversion.
Visible label
Fast human review when a platform visibly marks generated media.
Easy to crop, cover, remove, or fake.
Basic metadata
File format, dimensions, size, and limited tool context.
Useful context, but not reliable proof by itself.
AI watermark signal hierarchy
The practical rule is simple: a verified signal matters more than a visual guess. Missing evidence should be treated as inconclusive, especially for legal, editorial, moderation, or brand-safety decisions.
Strong
A watermark confirmed by its official provider verifier, or Trusted signed provenance that explicitly declares AI use.
Useful
Structured AI-use assertions inside the active manifest. A merely Valid, untrusted signature is reported separately.
Weak
Generic classifier scores or ordinary metadata that can help triage but should not be treated as proof.
Missing
No signal found means the checker found no supported evidence. It does not certify the image as real.
When to use an AI watermark detector
Watermark and provenance checks are best for workflows that need a defensible evidence trail.
Editorial verification
Check whether a submitted image carries AI provenance before using it in reporting or publishing.
Marketplace review
Triage product, avatar, or listing images where synthetic media disclosure matters.
Brand safety
Review influencer, ad, and user-generated creative before approval or escalation.
Moderation queues
Use strong signals to prioritize manual review without over-trusting generic AI classifier scores.

C2PA checker FAQ
How to read Content Credentials, trust state, watermark, and metadata results.
A C2PA checker reads a file’s Content Credentials, active manifest, signature validation state, and structured provenance assertions. EasyGlobe reports this evidence separately from pixel-based AI probability and provider-specific watermarks.
Upload the original image instead of a screenshot. EasyGlobe reads supported Content Credentials in the browser, reports whether a credential is Trusted, Valid but untrusted, invalid, or not found, and then shows any supporting signals separately.
No. Screenshots, social platforms, compression, exports, and unsupported generators can remove or omit Content Credentials. A not-found result is inconclusive, not proof that an image is human-made or unedited.
C2PA can provide signed provenance locally. SynthID is Google’s private watermark technology, and this site does not use its private verifier. Keeping the results separate prevents a general AI probability from being mistaken for a watermark.
