Making Deepfake Detection Accessible to Everyone

AI-manipulated media has moved from novelty to widespread threat. A recent Gartner survey found that 62% of organizations have already encountered generative AI attacks, highlighting how quickly synthetic content is outpacing traditional verification methods. Analysts, investigators, lawyers, and journalists need tools that deliver reliable detection at the pace these threats evolve, without relying on IT setup or complex integrations.

Reality Defender’s latest product, RealScan, makes that possible. 

Reality Defender’s RealScan product is a secure web app that detects deepfakes and AI-generated manipulation across audio, video, and images. Built on Reality Defender’s proven detection models, RealScan lets users sign up, upload media, and receive clear, defensible results in seconds. No developer resources or onboarding required. As the next evolution of Reality Defender’s detection platform, RealScan delivers trusted authenticity verification for teams of any size, from small investigations to large enterprise and government operations.

Deepfake Detection Has Become Essential

Media verification shouldn’t require IT support, engineering time, or sales processes. As AI-generated content becomes easier to create and harder to detect, many professionals are left without the means to check what’s real.

We built RealScan to make deepfake detection more accessible, giving analysts, journalists, investigators, lawyers and analysts the ability to spot deepfakes directly in a user-friendly web application. RealScan delivers the same level of robustness and analysis that enterprise customers expect, but is available instantly to individual users and small teams via our Analyst self-serve plan.

For organizations that require broader coverage, deeper integrations, or advanced deployment options, we continue to offer scalable enterprise access that incorporate real-time detection in calls and videos, greater security and scalability and flexible deployment options.

We’ve Released a New Self-Serve Experience

RealScan introduces a completely redesigned web experience built for speed, clarity, and accessibility. The new interface makes it easier to upload and review results, with explainable outputs that include Manipulation Probability Scores, visual indicators, and contextual summaries.

For the first time, Reality Defender’s trusted detection technology is available to everyone. Users can create an account, upload files, and start verifying media directly from the browser, no integrations or technical setup required.

A Four Step Process to Verify Media

Here’s how RealScan helps you authenticate content in just a few clicks:

1. Upload: Add your files directly through the web app. Drag and drop videos, images, or audio clips, paste a link, or upload in bulk with the Chrome Extension.
2. Analyze: Each file runs through Reality Defender’s advanced detection models, assessing for signs of AI manipulation across multiple modalities in just seconds.
3. Review: See results in a clear, explainable format. Every scan includes a Manipulation Probability Score and visual indicators to highlight potential areas of alteration in audio or images.
4. Report: Download results as PDF or CSV reports to document findings, share insights, or include in case files.

How RealScan Benefits Your Team

AI-manipulated media impacts every sector differently, from falsified evidence in courtrooms to synthetic images created to sway political opinion. RealScan is built to meet those challenges head-on, giving teams the clarity and confidence to verify what’s real. While the examples below highlight common use cases across law, media, legal, and corporate environments, RealScan’s accessibility makes it suitable for any organization that needs fast, explainable verification.

Law Enforcement

Manipulated evidence and falsified recordings are increasingly entering investigations, requiring teams to verify every piece of digital media before it’s used in a case. RealScan provides explainable results that help investigators validate evidence quickly and maintain confidence in their findings.

Media & Journalism

Newsrooms face mounting pressure to authenticate visuals and audio before publication as synthetic clips circulate online. With RealScan, journalists and editors can verify videos, images, and recordings in seconds. Instant results support fast editorial decisions without compromising rigor.

Legal Services

Courts and legal teams are encountering AI-generated media in discovery, expert reports, and client submissions. RealScan enables attorneys and forensic specialists to confirm authenticity before materials reach the courtroom, ensuring evidentiary integrity and compliance with disclosure requirements.

Across all these roles, RealScan shortens verification time and makes trustworthy detection as simple as drag-and-drop.

A Growing Ecosystem for Deepfake Detection

When we launched our free developer API in July, we saw an immediate surge of interest from developers and researchers eager to integrate deepfake detection into their own applications. That demand confirmed what we already believed, access to trustworthy detection shouldn’t be limited to large institutions.

RealScan is the next step in that mission. By introducing a self-serve web product, we’re extending the same trusted detection capabilities to analysts, journalists, and investigators who need fast, defensible results without any technical setup. As AI-generated media evolves, we’ll continue expanding RealScan’s capabilities to cover new formats and workflows.

Reality Defender now offers a complete range of solutions to meet every level of need:

• Developers: RealAPI encompasses API and SDK access with a free tier for testing.
• Analysts and Investigators: RealScan, our self-serve web app for rapid media verification.
• Enterprises: Comprehensive deployments that include live detection for audio and video calls, secure environments, and full integration support.

Whether you’re writing code, verifying evidence, or securing communications at scale, our mission remains the same to make deepfake detection available everywhere it’s needed.
