How can I check if a video is AI-generated?

Upload a file or paste a supported link into DetectVideo AI. The tool runs an AI video check and returns a confidence score, verdict, and short explanation to help you judge whether the clip looks AI-generated, human-made, or potentially manipulated.

Is DetectVideo AI free to use?

Yes. DetectVideo AI includes a free AI video detector workflow for quick checks. If you need larger uploads, more scans, richer reporting, or deeper analysis, paid plans are available for heavier verification needs.

What video links and file formats are supported?

The tool supports links from YouTube, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok, Vimeo, X/Twitter, and Facebook, as well as direct video uploads in common formats such as MP4, MOV, WEBM, MKV, AVI, WMV, FLV, MPG, MPEG, M4V, and 3GP.

Can I use DetectVideo AI for YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels?

Yes. DetectVideo AI is built for real-world social workflows, including YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok videos, and other short-form content that often goes viral before it is properly verified.

How accurate is the AI video detector?

DetectVideo AI is designed to provide a strong practical signal, but no detector can guarantee absolute truth. The best way to use the result is together with source validation, context, and human judgment.

What is the difference between the free and paid plans?

The free version is best for quick checks and smaller workflows. Paid plans unlock larger uploads, more scans, deeper reporting, stronger processing priority, and richer verification features for more serious use cases.

5. Results are probabilistic

DetectVideo AI provides probabilistic outputs such as scores, labels, explanations, summaries, and related analysis indicators. These outputs are generated through automated systems, heuristics, and machine-learning methods, and they may be incomplete, inaccurate, or wrong.

No tool can guarantee human authenticity. Results are probabilistic and must not be treated as absolute proof.

You remain solely responsible for evaluating the reliability, context, source, and consequences of any result before relying on it.

6. No legal, forensic, regulatory, or professional advice

The Service is offered as a technical analysis tool only. It does not provide legal advice, forensic advice, regulatory advice, journalistic advice, investigative conclusions, or any other professional opinion. Any decision you make based on the Service is made at your own risk and under your own responsibility.

7. Service availability and changes

We may update, improve, restrict, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We do not guarantee that any feature, output format, scan pack, limit, report format, integration, or workflow will remain available, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

We may also change free-tier limits, paid scan pack features, upload limits, support scope, or technical rules at any time, including where reasonably necessary for security, abuse prevention, infrastructure protection, legal compliance, or product improvement.

8. Scan packs, credits, and redemption

Certain features of the Service may be offered through paid scan packs, credits, redeem codes, or similar access mechanisms. Purchased scan credits are intended to be used within the Service in accordance with the applicable pack or feature rules shown at the time of purchase.

You are responsible for safeguarding any redeem code or access credential delivered to you. We may require email verification, browser-based continuity measures, redemption checks, or other technical validation methods to support access continuity and abuse prevention.

We may cancel, revoke, freeze, or refuse credits, codes, or access where we reasonably suspect fraud, abuse, payment reversal, chargeback activity, unauthorized sharing, or violation of these Terms.

9. Payments and refunds

Payments are processed through third-party payment providers, including Stripe. By making a purchase, you also agree to the applicable terms and policies of the payment provider used for that transaction.

Unless otherwise required by applicable law, paid scan packs, redeemed credits, completed digital access grants, and used scans are generally non-refundable. If you believe a billing or delivery error occurred, you may contact us and we may review the matter in good faith.
