## What is Actually Real??

Actually Real? scans any photo and tells you whether it looks AI-generated - and shows you exactly why, not just a score.

HOW IT WORKS
- Every scan runs four independent checks: a trained AI-detection model, a compression-artifact analysis that flags exactly which regions look synthesized, a camera-metadata check, and a Content Credentials (C2PA) check where available. You get a clear verdict — Likely Real, Likely AI, or Uncertain — with a confidence level, plus a heatmap showing precisely which parts of the image triggered the result.

HONEST ABOUT UNCERTAINTY
- No detector is ever 100% certain, and we don't pretend otherwise. Every scan shows you each individual signal — including when they disagree — so you can judge for yourself instead of trusting a single black-box number.

FREE TO START
- Get 5 scans a day at no cost. Upgrade to Unlimited for unrestricted daily scanning.
Perfect for checking suspicious photos, verifying images before sharing, or just satisfying your curiosity about what's real.
