Can it check WhatsApp videos?

Yes. Save the video from WhatsApp and upload it, or install our app and share the video straight to it. Forwards are heavily compressed, so a Deep Scan helps.

What if the video is real but the story is false?

That's common: real footage, wrong place or date. For links we search published fact-checks of the claim and show any we find. Our answer about the picture is separate from the story told about it.

Quick Scan is free to try, with no sign-up. Deep Scan, which checks every second of picture and sound and gives you the full report and a PDF, is a small one-time payment or part of a monthly plan.

Is this video real? Check it in under a minute

Before you forward it, check it. Real footage, an AI-made clip and a real video with an AI voice can look the same on a phone screen. Our checks read the picture, the sound and the post itself to tell them apart.

Three questions to ask about any viral video

Is it AI-made? Paste it above: our checks look at the motion, the frames, the voice and any AI labels.
Is it old? Many “breaking” videos are real but years old or from another country. For links, we look up published fact-checks of the claim.
Is it edited? A real clip with a new voice-over is still misleading. Deep Scan checks the voice separately from the picture.

Before you share

Look for the original: search the post's words and find who posted it first.
Check the details against the claim: signs, language, weather and number plates should all fit.
Send the report, not the rumour: share the result link so others see the reasons too.

What the answer means

You get the winning side as a percentage, like “85% Real” or “92% AI”, a plain answer such as “Most likely AI-generated”, and the reasons with timestamps. It's evidence to weigh, not a final verdict.

How often it's right

of 601 AI videos flagged in an independent test: 97%
of 84 real videos passed: 96%
each clip tested as published, WhatsApp-quality, 360p and heavily compressed: 4×

No detector is 100% sure, so every answer comes with its reasons, and an honest “not conclusive” when the signals don't agree. Full results (measured 2026-10-10).
