Is this video AI?

Paste a link to a video. We'll tell you whether YouTube itself has marked it as made with AI, and what that label actually means.

How to get the link

  1. Tap Share on the video

    In the YouTube app it is the arrow under the video. On a Short it is on the right side.

  2. Tap Copy link

    Then come back here and paste it into the box above.

  3. On Android, skip the copying

    Open this page in Chrome, tap the three dots, then Add to Home screen. After that, ImposterShield shows up in the Share menu of the YouTube app and checks the video in one tap.

What this can and can't tell you

YouTube puts a "Made with AI" label on a video when the AI tool left proof inside the file, or when the person who posted it said so. We read that label for you, so you don't have to dig through the description to find it.

If there's no label, that does not mean the video is real. Plenty of AI videos carry no proof at all, especially re-uploads and screen recordings. When we can't tell, we say so. We will never hand you a made-up percentage.

YouTubeWorks from a link, here, on any phone.

TikTok and FacebookThey only show their AI label inside their own app and website, so a link isn't enough yet. On a computer, our free Chrome extension reads it for you.

We use the link only to look up YouTube's public page for that video. We don't keep it, and there's nothing to sign up for.
