Big Tech Meta Meta built an AI detection tool to ID images and video created with its new models It has rate limits for some reason. By Karissa Bell July 7, 2026 7:23 pm EST Screenshot via Meta Meta is working on a tool to ID images and video created with its new image generation model, Muse Image. The company showed off a preview of the web-based tool that can check for the invisible watermarks used by the new model. This watermarking system, called Content Seal, remains in place "even when cropped, compressed, resized, or screenshotted," Meta explains in a blog post . "We're previewing a detection tool that lets you check whether an image carries a Content Seal watermark, providing an initial way to help you better understand if an image was made with Meta AI." Content Seal seems to be a somewhat new approach for Meta. The version that's part of Muse Image is proprietary, though the company has previously released open-source versions of the tech, Meta told Engadget.
Meta's new models don't include any visible watermarks, like some previous versions of Meta AI that added a small logo to the bottom right corner. For now, Meta AI's detection abilities are limited to images that are created or edited with Muse Image, though the company said it plans to expand Content Seal watermarks to AI-generated and edited videos as well. Meta is also working on a separate video generation model called Muse Video that will be "coming soon." I tried out the new detection feature on images I created today with Meta AI and the web-based tool was able to detect a watermark for edited images and entirely AI-made creations (like the one pictured above). It also found the watermark in screenshots of my images.
