What Can StarCheck Detect?
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the AI image detector?
StarCheck AI uses the Hive AI detection engine, which has been independently benchmarked at over 90% accuracy on images from DALL-E 3, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion. Results may vary on heavily post-processed real photos.
What AI image generators can you detect?
StarCheck AI can detect images generated by DALL-E 2 & 3, Midjourney (all versions), Stable Diffusion, Adobe Firefly, Imagen, and most other major AI image generation models.
Is the Chrome extension free?
Yes — StarCheck AI is free with 10 image scans per day. Our Pro plan (coming soon) offers unlimited scans, video deepfake detection, and batch analysis.
Do you store the images I scan?
No. Images are never stored on our servers. The image URL is sent to our detection API for real-time analysis only and is not retained after the result is returned.
How does AI image detection work?
AI image detectors analyse subtle patterns that differ between real photographs and AI-generated images. These include inconsistencies in lighting, texture patterns, facial geometry, background coherence, and metadata signatures left by generation models.
Can the detector be fooled?
Like all AI detectors, StarCheck AI can be fooled by images that have been heavily edited after generation or processed through "glazing" tools designed to defeat detectors. We continuously update our model to keep up with new generation techniques.
