Photo and video verification
Look closer before you share it.
Loupe checks whether a photo or video is what it claims to be: edited, recycled from another year, or made by a machine.

Four tests on this photo

- First seenin the app
- Camera tracein the app
- Made by a machinein the app
Three more tests are in the app. One of them finds where this picture first appeared. We pasted the second island into this sample ourselves.
Four ways a picture lies.
It was edited
Something was added, removed or moved.
- 2019
It is old
A real picture from another year or another place.
Wrong camera
The file names one device. The sensor pattern says another.
- AI
Nobody took it
No camera was involved at all.
Video gets the same, frame by frame.
And one more test: the picture against its own sound.
00:14 a cut the sound track does not have

Before you download Loupe
Does it upload my file?
No. The picture is examined on your PC. Only the “first seen” test goes online, to look for earlier copies.
Can it be sure?
It reports what each test found and how strong the finding is. A clean result means nothing was found, which is not the same as proof.
Which files?
Photos and screenshots in the common formats, and video files. Screenshots lose the camera trace, and Loupe says so.
Where does “first seen” come from?
Public search indexes and web archives. It shows the earliest copy it can find, with the date and the page.
Look closer.
