How do I detect AI-generated photos in Chrome?

Install Faux Spy from the Chrome Web Store (free). Then right-click any image on any website and select 'Investigate this image.' Faux Spy analyzes the image and returns a verdict — Real, Likely AI, AI Photo, or AI Art — with a confidence score in about 2 seconds. No uploading or tab switching required.

Is Faux Spy free on Chrome?

Yes. The free tier gives you 10 scans per day with no account or signup required. Pro ($9.99/month) unlocks unlimited scans, AI Photo vs. AI Art distinction, Case Files history, and deepfake detection. Token top-up packs ($1.99, $5.99, $11.99) are also available for one-time needs.

Does the Chrome extension work on all websites?

Yes — Faux Spy works on any image on any website you can visit in Chrome. This includes dating apps (Tinder, Hinge, Bumble in browser), social media (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, X, TikTok), news sites, marketplaces, forums, and anywhere else images appear.

How accurate is the AI image detector Chrome extension?

Faux Spy achieves approximately 94% accuracy on images from major AI generators including Midjourney, DALL-E 3, Stable Diffusion, and Adobe Firefly. It uses a two-stage detection pipeline: a local machine learning model for fast pre-filtering, then a cloud ensemble (Sightengine + HiveModeration) for more complex cases.

Why you need an AI image detector in Chrome

AI-generated profile photos are now indistinguishable from real ones to the human eye. A 2025 Microsoft study found people correctly identify AI images only 61% of the time — barely better than guessing. The problem: modern AI generators create faces that have never existed, so reverse image search finds nothing. There's no original photo to match against.

Romance scam victims in the US lost $1.14 billion in 2023 (FTC). The entry point is almost always a convincing fake profile photo. AI generators like Midjourney, DALL-E 3, and Stable Diffusion produce these at scale — a scammer can generate 100 unique fake identities in minutes.

Faux Spy uses machine learning pixel analysis to find what human eyes miss. AI generators leave subtle artifacts in image noise, frequency patterns, and lighting behavior. The detector finds these in seconds, on any image, right inside Chrome.
