How ImgShield combines provenance, metadata, editing traces, and limited model signals.
Evidence is layered
ImgShield separates explicit provenance and generation records from camera metadata, editing traces, file structure, and optional model output. Strong records are reported differently from weak or missing clues.
A score is not proof
A pixel-model estimate is only one signal. It can be affected by compression, screenshots, edits, and changes in image-generation systems. The page explains which evidence contributed to the result.
Review before deciding
For an important decision, preserve the original, record the source context, and seek an independent review. A missing record should be described as missing evidence, not as proof of deception.
