How It Works
Three Steps. Instant Result.
Upload any JPEG, PNG, or WEBP. OziShield checks it and returns a plain-English read.
01
Upload Your Image
Drag and drop a JPEG, PNG, or WEBP file. Your image is processed in memory and is not stored.
02
Automated Checks
OziShield runs an AI detection model alongside compression and metadata checks to look for signs of editing or generation.
03
Plain-English Result
You receive one of three reads: No Strong Signals, Uncertain, or Manipulation Detected.
Detection Engine
What RealCheck Looks At
Three checks run together — no single one decides the result on its own.
CHECK 01
Error Level Analysis
Re-compresses the image and measures pixel-level differences. Selectively edited regions can show up as uneven compression.
CHECK 02
Metadata Check
Checks whether the image still has intact embedded metadata — often stripped or altered during editing or re-export.
CHECK 03
AI Detection Model
A dedicated deepfake-detection model analyses the image (and any detected face) for signs of AI generation or manipulation.
Understanding Your Result
What Each Result Means
RealCheck gives one of three plain-English reads, not a numeric score.
NO STRONG SIGNALS
No manipulation indicators were found. This does not guarantee the image is authentic — only that none were detected at this time.
UNCERTAIN
One check returned a positive signal. Worth a closer look before you trust or share the image.
MANIPULATION DETECTED
Multiple checks returned positive signals. Don't publish or act on this image without independently verifying the source.
Privacy Architecture
Your Image Isn't Stored
Here is exactly what we do and do not keep.
No Image Storage
Processed in memory and not retained after analysis.
No Biometric Data
Face detection is used only to focus the AI check — no biometric profiles are built or stored.
No IP Addresses
IPs are one-way hashed for rate limiting only.
No Data Sold
No advertising, no data partnerships, no third-party sharing.
Important: OziShield RealCheck checks images for signs of manipulation or AI generation. Results are indicative signals — not proof of authenticity or manipulation, and not a substitute for professional or legal advice. Sophisticated AI-generated images may show no detectable signals at all. Ozinexus Technologies Pty Ltd (ABN 35 414 180 295) — Sydney, Australia.
Public Endorsement
Acknowledged by Dr. Shashi Tharoor MP
Member of Parliament, India.
"So @SimmiAhuja_, now settled in Australia, tells me she has completed the first version of a tool called #OziShield, which helps people quickly check if a link, SMS or email might be a scam or fraud: ozishield.com — Simmi says she built it after seeing so many people around us lose money to online scams. She wanted to create something simple that even non-technical users can understand and use in seconds. This tool is free forever! Do try it out and let her know what you think."
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is RealCheck completely free?
Yes. RealCheck is free to use with no login required.
Do you store my image?
No. Your image is processed in memory and is not retained after analysis.
What does RealCheck actually check?
Three things: error level analysis (looking for uneven compression from editing), a metadata check, and a dedicated AI detection model that looks for signs of deepfake generation. All three are combined into one plain-English result.
Can it detect all deepfakes or edited images?
No tool can catch everything. Sophisticated modern AI generators can produce images with no detectable signals. RealCheck is most useful against photoshopping, compositing, and lower-quality AI generation — it gives you a signal, not a guarantee.
What file types are supported?
JPEG, PNG, and WEBP files.
Can I use the result as evidence?
RealCheck results are a starting signal, not proof. If you're dealing with a serious situation involving a manipulated image, contact the relevant platform, the eSafety Commissioner, or police directly rather than relying on this tool alone.
