The necessity to verify the authenticity of a photo and determine if it has been manipulated can present a challenge. This could be important in ensuring the credibility of an image in online news or social media, or in uncovering fraud in professional photography and digital art. An efficient tool is needed to identify potential anomalies or changes in the structure of an image. Moreover, the ability to extract metadata and provide information about the image, its creation, and the device on which it was created, would be beneficial. Such a tool should be easy to use, suitable both for digital investigators and individuals who need to confirm the authenticity of an image.

FotoForensics helps to verify the authenticity of photos by detecting changes in the image structure that could indicate possible editing or manipulation. It uses the Error Level Analysis (ELA) technique to check the consistency of an image and identify deviations, so that users are alerted to potential anomalies. In addition, the tool can extract metadata from the images and provide information such as creation date, devices used, and other detailed information. Through these features, FotoForensics offers a comprehensive solution for verifying the authenticity of images for digital investigators and anyone who needs to confirm the authenticity of a photo in an easy and efficient way.
