Bing Image Creator image detector
Fewer than 1 in 2,000 original camera photos are wrongly flagged (0.05%)
Can Perspicax detect Bing Image Creator images?
Yes. Bing Image Creator runs on MAI-Image 2.5, Microsoft's own family of image models, and Perspicax caught 100.0% of MAI-Image 2.5 images in testing. It checks the pixels, so it doesn't depend on a label surviving in the file.
Where these images come from
Microsoft's Bing Image Creator, in Bing and the Bing app, makes images with Microsoft's MAI-Image 2.5 models, its default since July 2026. Microsoft also uses MAI-Image 2.5 for some image tools in PowerPoint and OneDrive. Before its own models, Bing Image Creator used OpenAI's.
Labels and watermarks
Microsoft has added Content Credentials to images from Bing Image Creator since 2023. Like every label in a file, they disappear with a screenshot, a re-save or most social uploads, and a missing label proves nothing. Perspicax checks the image itself.
