Hi HN,
I built DeepFakeCheck.com a lightweight web tool that lets you upload an image and immediately check if it’s AI-generated or real, powered by the SightEngine API under the hood.
Why I made it:
Deepfakes are increasingly used (misinfo, identity fraud) and most people have no quick way to verify images.
I wanted something simple, no account needed initially, and transparent.
For this test launch I will manually increase the free scans to 25 (instead of the usual 3) after sign up so you can test it thoroughly for free and give feedback. Please be patient while I check the signups as much as possible and manually increase the credits from 3 to 25 (usually within minutes) unless I am sleeping.
Try it here: DeepFakeCheck.com
What I’d love:
Your feedback on accuracy, UI, friction, what you’d fix.
Any ideas for integrations (Slack-bot, API, browser extension) or real-world use cases.
Any issues, edge cases you’ve found.
Technical notes:
Built with Next.js + Tailwind and deployed on Vercel.
SightEngine API for detection.
Redis via Upstash for rate limit / caching of free scans.
No images are stored: all uploads only live briefly for processing, then discarded.
Thanks for checking it out. I’ll be actively monitoring comments here and open to follow-up improvements.
Rody
