How we detect Midjourney images
Midjourney is famous for its cinematic, painterly look, and it is one of the generators our detectors were trained on. We also check the file: Midjourney downloads often keep a recognisable filename (your username, prompt words and a long ID), and some exports include metadata that names Midjourney or labels the image as AI-generated.
Midjourney giveaways
- Dramatic, film-like lighting and very rich colour grading.
- Hyper-detailed textures (skin, fabric, stone) that look almost too sharp.
- Aspect ratios like 16:9, 2:3 or 4:5 at sizes such as 1456×816 or 816×1456.
- Background people and objects that dissolve into soft, dreamy shapes.
Frequently asked questions
Can it detect Midjourney v7?
Yes in most cases, though every new version is a little harder. If the file still has its metadata, the result is confirmed.
Can I check a screenshot or an image I found on social media?
Yes. Screenshots and re-saved social media images lose their file labels, so the result relies on the pixel detectors alone. Crop to just the picture you want to check (no app buttons or captions) for the best result.
Is IsItMadeByAI really free?
Yes. Every scan is free, there is no sign-up, no credit card and no watermark on your results. The site runs on open-source detection models, which is how we keep it free.
