Need to detect if a video is AI-generated? TrueSight is a free AI video detector that analyzes actual video frames — not just metadata — to identify deepfakes and AI-created content across all major platforms.
How the AI Video Detector Works
TrueSight goes beyond surface-level checks. Here's how the detection process works:
- Frame extraction: Captures multiple frames from different points in the video
- AI-powered analysis: Each frame is examined for artifacts, inconsistencies, and patterns typical of AI-generated content
- Confidence scoring: Returns a clear verdict — "AI Generated", "No AI Detected", or "Unclear" — with a confidence percentage
- Verification badge: Get a downloadable badge image proving you verified the video
Why Use an AI Video Checker?
AI-generated videos are becoming harder to spot by eye. In 2026, they're used for:
- Political misinformation and election manipulation
- Fake celebrity endorsements and financial scams
- Fabricated "evidence" in legal and social contexts
- Impersonation and identity fraud
An AI video checker gives you an objective, frame-level analysis that your eyes can't match. Whether you're a journalist fact-checking a source, a social media user verifying a viral clip, or a researcher studying synthetic media, TrueSight helps you detect AI videos quickly.
Three Ways to Detect AI Videos
1. Chrome Extension (Best Accuracy)
Install the free TrueSight extension. While watching any video in Chrome, click the extension icon to scan it. The extension captures frames directly from your browser for the most accurate analysis.
2. Website Link Scanner (No Install)
Paste any video URL into the scanner at tsdetect.com. Works with YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and hundreds of other video platforms. No extension or signup needed.
3. Upload Scan (Private Videos)

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an AI video detector?
An AI video detector is a tool that analyzes video content to determine whether it was created or manipulated by artificial intelligence. TrueSight examines individual frames for subtle artifacts that AI-generated videos leave behind — things like unnatural lighting, texture inconsistencies, and temporal anomalies.
How do I check if a video is made by AI?
Install the free TrueSight Chrome extension or paste a video URL into the website scanner. TrueSight captures frames from the video and analyzes them, returning a verdict with a confidence percentage.
Is this AI video detector free?
Yes. The Chrome extension and website link scanner are completely free. Optional paid upload scans are available for private video files that can't be analyzed via URL.
How accurate is AI video detection?
Frame-based analysis is significantly more reliable than metadata-only tools. TrueSight provides a confidence score with every scan. Some heavily compressed or very short videos may return "Unclear" — this is by design to avoid false positives.
