FactHeck

FactHeck tells you whether a viral video, image, or social-media post is true โ€” and whether it was made by AI โ€” in about a minute. Misinformation moves fastest on short-form video, where claims are thrown out quickly and almost never sourced. Paste a link to a TikTok, Instagram Reel, YouTube Short, or X post and FactHeck does the work: it pulls out the specific factual claims, checks each one against independent evidence, and gives you a clear, sourced verdict you can actually read. WHAT YOU GET โ€ข Per-claim verdicts โ€” each claim is rated and explained, not reduced to a single score โ€ข Real sources โ€” see the evidence behind every verdict โ€ข AI-generated media detection โ€” check whether an image or video looks AI-generated โ€ข Deep Check โ€” trace a viral story back to its original source, see what changed in the retelling, and whether anyone independent confirms it โ€ข Fast โ€” most checks finish in about a minute โ€ข Share straight from TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube via the share sheet โ€” no copy-paste HOW IT WORKS FactHeck breaks a post down into its claims, gathers evidence from independent sources, and rates each claim with citations. For images and video, it analyses technical and contextual signals to estimate whether the content was AI-generated. WHY FACTHECK โ€ข Independent โ€” verdicts follow the evidence, not the people, brands, or platforms involved in a claim โ€ข Transparent โ€” every verdict shows its sources and reasoning โ€ข Private โ€” we don't post anything on your behalf, and we don't sell your data FREE & SUBSCRIPTIONS Your first check each day is free, no account needed. Create a free account for more (including 1 Deep Check a month), or subscribe for higher limits: โ€ข Premium โ€” more checks each month, 4 Deep Checks a month (up to 2 a day) โ€ข Pro โ€” highest limits, 15 Deep Checks a month (up to 5 a day) FactHeck is built and operated by SAFEGUARDAI (MIRA) LTD, an independent organisation.
