FotoForensics

The program works in the following way:
- You upload the image
- The source decodes the image into tiny numbers

Fake Image Detector
Another more or less popular fake image detector app. We need to say that it is much more simple than the previous app for Android and it only can possibly tell if the image is fake or not. To do that, you need to upload the photo to the app and it will tell you immediately.
However, the app in general is more a joke. There are no professional algorithms that can really tell you if the image is a real fake. Moreover, the interface design is just terrible. We only added this app to the list because there is a few of them out there.

Image Analysis Toolset – IAT
This is more animage analyzer and it isn’t meant to detect the fakeness in pictures, however, you can do some manipulations and try to reveal some aspects on images.
For example, you can use the color meter and see if there are any fluctuation in colors, or just to see which fitlers were applied to the pic. The logo meter will help you to find the tinies logos on the picture and revel its belonging to the other source, for example.
