What is Error Level Analysis (ELA)?

ELA re-saves an image at a known quality and compares it to the original. Areas that have been edited show different error levels than untouched areas, making manipulations visible as brighter regions in the ELA output.

Can this tool detect AI-generated images?

While ELA and noise analysis can sometimes reveal inconsistencies in AI-generated images, dedicated AI detection requires specialized models. This tool focuses on traditional forensic techniques like metadata analysis, ELA, and clone detection.
