Deepfake Detection API

Analyse a selfie or short video for generative artefacts, face swaps and replay attacks and return a risk score, so liveness checks are not fooled by AI-generated media.

What the Deepfake Detection API does

Send a selfie image or a short video clip. The API returns a deepfake probability, the attack types detected (face swap, synthetic generation, screen replay) and a pass or fail against your threshold.

Benefits of the Deepfake Detection API

Flag synthetic or manipulated faces in selfies and video frames.

Closes the AI gap

Liveness alone no longer stops generated faces; this does.

Drops into existing flows

Same media you already capture for Face Match and Liveness.

Use cases

Deepfake Detection API: frequently asked questions

What teams ask before adding the Deepfake Detection API to their integration.

No. Liveness proves a real person is present; deepfake detection proves the face is not synthetic. Run both for high-risk journeys.
