🧩 How to use the app

Once the app is open, here’s how to check an image:

1. Select the Image
   Click the “Browse” or “Select Image” button to find the picture you want to test. The app supports common formats like JPG, PNG, and TIFF.

2. Start the Detection
   Press the “Analyze” or “Check Image” button to begin. The software will review the image's metadata and run its machine learning checks.

3. View the Result
   After a moment, the app will display whether it found signs that the image was AI-generated or likely real.

4. Additional Info
   You can see details about the metadata that influenced the decision. This helps you understand why the software reached its conclusion.

🔍 What is metadata and why does it matter?

Metadata is hidden information stored inside image files. It includes details like:

• When and where the image was created
• The device used to take the photo
• Software used to edit the image
• Technical data about how the image was saved

AI-generated images often have missing or unusual metadata because software creates them differently than real cameras. Our app looks for these clues to tell what is real.

⚙️ Settings and Options

The app includes simple settings that let you adjust how deep the checks go:

• Basic Scan: Quick check of key metadata fields
• Full Scan: More detailed analysis for better accuracy
• File History: Optionally save past scan results for review
• Update Checks: Enable automatic updates to keep detection methods current

You can access these from the settings menu in the app.

📂 Supported Image Types

The app works with most popular image types:

• JPEG / JPG (.jpg, .jpeg)
• PNG (.png)
• TIFF (.tif, .tiff)
• BMP (.bmp)

If your image type is not supported, convert it to one of these formats using any free image converter online.

❓ Troubleshooting

If you run into any problems, try these steps:

• Make sure your system meets the requirements listed above
• Download and install the latest version from the releases page
• Restart the app and try again
• Test with another image to see if the issue is specific
• If the app won’t open, try running it as an administrator on Windows or check macOS security settings for permission to run apps from identified developers
