How to check Vinted photos for AI warning signals
AI-generated photos can make a item look convincing even when important details are false or missing. Use visual checks and the free Vinted AI Checker before making a decision.
Why review the photos?
Synthetic images can hide counterfeit or nonexistent second-hand items.
Check reflections and details
Compare lighting, shadows, text, seams, labels and repeated shapes across every available photo.
Ask for more evidence
Request a new photo or video showing a specific detail when the listing and its images do not agree.
Use the Vinted AI Checker
- Paste the Vinted item URL or upload its photos.
- The checker reviews each image for patterns associated with AI generation.
- Read the warning signal and context for every image separately.
A score is a warning signal, not proof of origin, authenticity, fraud or authorship.
Open the Vinted AI CheckerQuestions and limitations
Does a high score prove the photo is fake?
No. Compression, editing and new generators can affect results. Confirm concerns with provenance, additional photos and human review.
Does a low score prove the item is genuine?
No. “No strong AI signal found” is not proof that an image or item is authentic.
What should I do when unsure?
Pause the transaction or conversation and ask for independent, current evidence.
