Use Cases
Different users need different things from a video scan. Find your scenario below.
Problem: You receive a viral video that could affect a story, but you cannot verify its source.
How to use: Paste the video URL or upload the file. Review the score, confidence label, and evidence frames. Use the result as one input alongside source verification and editorial judgment.
Recommended: AI Video Detector
Scan results are not proof. They support editorial triage, not final publication decisions.
Problem: You want to make sure the content you are reposting or collaborating on is not AI-generated.
How to use: Before reposting, paste the video link into the scanner. Check the verdict and evidence frames. If the score is high, ask the original creator for source confirmation.
Recommended: Platform-specific detector
Filters and compression can affect results. Upload the original file when possible.
Problem: Someone sent you a suspicious video and you want to check before sharing it.
How to use: Upload the video or paste the link. A quick scan takes 15–60 seconds. If the score is high, do not share until you verify the source.

Videos forwarded through messaging apps are heavily compressed, which can reduce accuracy.
Problem: You need to screen influencer submissions or ad creatives for AI-generated content.
How to use: Run each submission through the scanner before approving. Flag high-score results for manual review. Document the scan result for your records.

AI-generated product demos and virtual try-ons are increasingly common in advertising.
Problem: You want to teach students about media literacy and the existence of AI-generated video.
How to use: Use the scanner as a demonstration tool. Show students how the score, evidence frames, and reason codes work. Discuss limitations and false positives.
Recommended: Methodology
This tool is for educational demonstration, not academic integrity enforcement.
Problem: Your queue includes user-submitted videos and you need a fast first-pass check.
How to use: Paste the video URL into the scanner. Use the verdict and confidence label to sort your queue: high scores get priority review, low scores move on. Keep the scan result as a record.
Recommended: AI Video Detector
The scanner is a triage tool, not a moderation decision. Final decisions require human review.
Problem: You received a video in a DM, email, or forwarded message that looks suspicious.
How to use: Upload the video or paste its link. If the score is high, treat the video as potentially manipulated. Do not send money, click links, or share personal information based on the video alone.
Recommended: Deepfake Video Detector
Scammers increasingly use AI-generated video for impersonation. A low score does not guarantee the video is real.
Problem: You need an initial technical signal before deciding whether to escalate a video for forensic analysis.
How to use: Upload the original video file. Review the score, evidence frames, and reason codes. Use the result to decide whether the clip warrants professional forensic review.
Recommended: Methodology
Scan results are not legal or forensic proof. They are a first-pass signal for review escalation.
The homepage works for any video file or direct video URL. Public YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram page URL parsing is available on Pro. If you have a specific platform link, use the platform-specific detector for better context. For deepfake concerns (face swaps, impersonation), use the Deepfake Video Detector.
