About this check

What Fake Screenshot Detector actually does.

The Fake Screenshot Detector targets fabricated receipts, payment confirmations, chat logs, and scam evidence. It treats UI screenshots as documents — the typography, spacing, and exact wording that real apps use are surprisingly hard to fake at scale. Upload a screenshot to receive a fraud-focused Truth Score.

How it works

  • 1UI layout checks compare typography and spacing against known mobile and web app patterns.
  • 2Amount and timestamp consistency flags impossible balances or out-of-order timelines.
  • 3Edit-residue detection surfaces splices, recolored regions, and mismatched compression bands.

When to use it

Real situations this page is built for.

  • Someone sent payment proof for a crypto trade or marketplace deal.
  • A 'screenshot of a DM' is being used to publicly accuse someone.
  • A refund or transfer confirmation needs to be verified before release.

Limitations

Screenshots taken from phones with custom themes, beta apps, or non-English locales may produce false positives.

Honest scope

What this detector does not do.

Naming the gaps explicitly so the score is interpreted in context.

  • Whether a transaction actually happened — only that the image looks edited.
  • Account-level fraud history (platform-side).
  • Custom-themed apps and beta UIs that may falsely flag as edited.

FAQ

Fake Screenshot Detector questions

Can it verify a payment actually happened?

No. It only flags whether a screenshot looks edited. Confirmation of an actual transfer must come from the bank or platform.

Does it work on chat-message screenshots?

Yes — chat layout consistency is one of the signal sets. The longer the conversation, the better.

What about cropped screenshots?

Cropping reduces signal but does not invalidate it. Provide as much of the original frame as possible.
