Look through a video on your device
Video frame checker
Choose a video to compare a few frames in your browser. This can help you spot details to investigate, but it cannot tell you on its own whether a video is a deepfake. The file stays on your device.
Drag and drop a video to preview frames
Creates five preview frames in this browser so you can review motion and consistency yourself. This check does not decide whether a video is real or AI-made. Supports MP4, WebM, and MOV up to 60 MB.
How to compare frames
Look at the same detail at different moments
The viewer selects a few moments from the video. These questions can help you decide what to examine more closely:
Start with a clear frame
Find a moment where the person or object is easy to see. It gives you something to compare with later frames.
Watch for changes during movement
Look at details around a moving face or object. Blur and lighting can also change an edge, so do not judge from one frame.
Compare small details
See whether glasses, clothing, signs or other visible details change unexpectedly. Check the original video if something looks odd.
Check the background
Repeated patterns may look different during movement or compression. A change is a clue to investigate, not a verdict.
Four things that can affect what you see
A strange detail can come from editing, filming or compression as well as AI. Consider these possibilities before drawing a conclusion:
Movement
Camera movement and video compression can make fine details shift or blur. Compare several moments in the original file.
Facial details
Blink timing and reflections vary naturally. A single unusual expression does not show whether a face was changed.
Edges around objects
Fast motion, focus and editing can blur edges. Look for a pattern across the video rather than one frozen frame.
Speech and picture
Check whether speech and mouth movements seem aligned. Network delay or editing can also put them out of sync.
What this check cannot tell you
The viewer samples a few frames. It does not run an AI video detector, inspect every moment or verify who made the recording. Different editing tools, codecs and cameras can create similar visual changes.
| If you notice | What else could explain it | Useful next step |
|---|---|---|
| A detail changes | Movement, focus, lighting or compression | Watch the surrounding seconds in the original video. |
| A face edge looks soft | Low light, motion blur or ordinary editing | Compare several clear frames and check the source. |
| Sound seems out of sync | Recording or playback delay | Play the original recording with sound. |
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this page tell me whether a video is AI-generated?
No. It lets you inspect selected frames in your browser. You may notice changes worth checking, but a few frames cannot establish how the whole video was made.
What should I look for between frames?
Compare details such as hands, clothing, signs and the background at different moments. Unexpected changes can have many causes, including video compression, lighting, motion or editing.
Does an unusual face or blink prove a deepfake?
No. Camera movement, low light, compression and ordinary editing can produce similar effects. Treat an unusual detail as a reason to check the original and its source, not as proof.
Does this tool upload my video to a remote server?
No. This frame viewer reads the selected video in your browser. The file is not sent to What Made It? servers by this tool.
