Image Forensic Tool

The Image Forensic Tool provides a structured workflow to assess image integrity. It accepts a single image upload and returns a forensic report that combines metadata analysis with artifact detection to indicate authenticity status. This is designed for investigative journalists, law enforcement analysts, editors, and researchers who require defensible, reproducible results.
Conceptually, analysis proceeds by extracting EXIF and IPTC metadata, then applying a suite of detectors for signs of manipulation, such as inconsistent JPEG double compression, resampling artifacts, irregular noise patterns, and inconsistent color filtering. The results are summarized into a score and a list of indicators that can be reviewed by a human expert.
The tool is valuable because it consolidates metadata retrieval, forensic checks, and reporting into a single workflow, reducing manual labor and minimizing interpretation errors. It supports common image formats, provides both machine-friendly and human-friendly outputs, and exports to JSON or PDF for archival and legal review; it also offers a provenance trail that captures timestamps and source identifiers.
Core features include an authenticity_score, detected_indicators with severity, extracted_metadata, and an exportable report. Use cases include verifying user-supplied images, validating stock or user-generated content, supporting digital evidence workflows, and performing media due diligence for newsrooms and legal teams. It differentiates itself by combining multiple detectors with transparent scoring, auditable logs, and reusable report templates.
