Visual forensics API

AI Image Forgery
& Synthetic Media Detection

Detect pixel-level edits and screen AI-generated or AI-edited images before they enter KYC, lending, insurance, and document-processing workflows. Continue with specialized OCR and structured extraction when the same documents need to move downstream.

Two detection layers

Compare image forgery and AI image detection

Image forgery detection examines an existing image for local manipulation. AI image detection screens whether generative AI created or edited the image. TurboLens keeps the results separate so teams can route each risk through the appropriate review workflow.

Image Forgery Detection

Find evidence of local manipulation in an existing image. TurboLens analyzes pixel structure for splicing, copy-move edits, retouching, and altered fields.

Decision output

Real or forged verdict, tampered-pixel proportion, suspicious-region coordinates, and a visual heatmap.

Early access

AI-Generated & AI-Edited Detection

Screen images for synthetic origin or generative edits, including fully AI-generated documents and images modified with AI editing tools.

Decision output

Three-state screening result—AI-generated, needs review, or likely human-made—plus an AI probability score.

One call before extraction

Add authenticity checks without rebuilding your pipeline

TurboLens adds a visual-forensics decision before the rest of your workflow. Your team controls the threshold and whether a flagged image is rejected, escalated, or queued for human review.

}
  1. Submit

    Send a document page or image to the API before OCR and downstream processing.

    01
  2. Analyze

    Run pixel-level forgery analysis and, when enabled, synthetic-media screening.

    02
  3. Route

    Continue clean files automatically and send flagged results to your review workflow.

    03

Built for high-trust decisions

Catch suspicious evidence at the point of submission

Visual forensic signals help operations teams focus manual review where it matters while genuine submissions continue through the existing workflow.

KYC & onboarding

Stop altered identities before account creation

Screen passports, national IDs, driving licences, and supporting documents for photo swaps, edited fields, and synthetic creation.

Lending

Flag manipulated evidence before underwriting

Find suspicious edits in payslips, bank statements, tax forms, and other income evidence before a credit decision is made.

Insurance

Route suspicious claim evidence earlier

Check receipts, invoices, medical documents, and claim photos for local tampering or generative edits before payout review.

API-first

Put visual forensics in front of every downstream decision

Keep your OCR, face matching, watchlist screening, and case-management tools. TurboLens adds an authenticity signal through a REST endpoint before extraction.

Common questions

Image authenticity detection, explained

What is image forgery detection?

Image forgery detection analyzes an existing image for evidence of local manipulation, such as splicing, copy-move edits, retouching, or altered fields. TurboLens returns a real-or-forged verdict, the proportion of suspicious pixels, region coordinates, and a heatmap that helps reviewers see where an edit may have occurred.

How is AI-generated image detection different from forgery detection?

Forgery detection looks for edits made to an existing image, while AI-generated image detection estimates whether generative AI created or modified the image. These are separate forensic questions, so TurboLens treats them as two complementary screening layers rather than one interchangeable score.

Can TurboLens detect AI-edited images as well as fully generated images?

The synthetic-media service is being developed to screen both fully AI-generated images and images changed with generative editing tools. It is currently offered as early access, with a three-state result and probability score designed to support—not replace—human review and business rules.

Where does visual forgery detection fit in a document workflow?

Most teams place visual forensics immediately after upload and before OCR, extraction, or approval. Clean submissions continue through the existing pipeline. Flagged images can be rejected, escalated, or sent to a manual-review queue according to the organization’s own thresholds and risk policy.
