Forensically

Free browser photo-forensics tools by Jonas Wagner.

Published by Jonas Wagner.

In short

Forensically is the browser photo-forensics page at 29a.ch/photo-forensics, made by Jonas Wagner. On 24 Oct 2026 the page said it is a set of free tools for digital image forensics, including clone detection, error level analysis, and metadata extraction. The changelog’s latest entry is 2025-03-29. C2PA was added on 2024-04-12. No dollar price and no SPDX field were printed. The FAQ says images stay on your computer. Metadata and files is the category. A highlighted region is a lead, not proof the picture was altered.

Product pricing strategy

02

Free

Forensically printed no dollar price on 24 Oct 2026. The title says free online photo forensics tools, and the about text says a set of free tools for digital image forensics. Free is that sentence. There is no checkout, no plan name, and no SPDX field. The page does not name a license identifier this listing could copy. The changelog dates, 2024-04-12 and 2025-03-29, are not prices. The C2PA section points at contentcredentials.org and a separate command-line project for more detail. Those links are not Forensically fees. Jonas Wagner is named as the maker. The footer does not add a company price. A synthetic pattern opened in the browser stayed local, which matches the FAQ, and that test had no charge because the page has nowhere to pay.

Utility and features

03

The page title is Forensically, free online photo forensics tools. The about text says Forensically is a set of free tools for digital image forensics, that it includes clone detection, error level analysis, meta data extraction and more, and that it is made by Jonas Wagner. It says to think of it as a magnifying glass that cannot tell true from false, and it prints absence of evidence is still not evidence of absence. The tool list includes Magnifier, Clone Detection, Error Level Analysis, Noise Analysis, Level Sweep, Luminance Gradient, Principal Component Analysis, Meta Data, Geo Tags, Thumbnail Analysis, C2PA Content Authenticity, JPEG Analysis, and String Extraction. The header shows a beta mark.

  • Free, with no SPDX field. The title and the about text say the tools are free. The page prints no dollar amount and no license identifier.
  • Changelog ends at 2025-03-29. That entry modernized dependencies. C2PA was added on 2024-04-12. The page still shows a beta mark.
  • Images stay in the browser. The FAQ says files are not uploaded. RAW is unsupported. The local frames used a synthetic pattern, not a person’s photograph.

The FAQ says images are not uploaded and stay on the computer. RAW is not supported. The highest quality format named is 24-bit PNG. The C2PA section says the metadata is displayed if present, that fetching of remote resources is disabled, and that signed metadata still isn’t inherently trustworthy. The changelog lists 2024-04-12 for the C2PA tool and 2025-03-29 for modernized dependencies and improved performance. No price and no SPDX field appear on the page. A local session opened a synthetic color pattern, not a photograph of a person, and showed the magnifier and the clone-detection controls.

  1. 1

    Call a highlighted region a lead. The page says the tools cannot tell true from false.

  2. 2

    Quote the free sentence and say no SPDX field was printed. Do not invent a license.

  3. 3

    Keep a C2PA panel on its own. Signed metadata is not, in the page’s words, inherently trustworthy.

Caveats

04

The page says a magnifying glass cannot tell true from false, and that absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Clone detection highlights similar regions. Similar regions can be a repeating texture. Error level analysis depends on the JPEG quality setting in the panel, which the help text says should match the original quality. A bright region is not a verdict.

C2PA metadata, when the panel shows it, is signed and, in the page’s words, still isn’t inherently trustworthy. The tool is described as relatively basic. The 2025-03-29 changelog line is dependency work, not a new verdict engine. No SPDX field was printed, so this listing does not invent one. The frames on this page are a synthetic pattern. They are not a case photo, and they are not a face. FotoForensics and ExifTool are different tools.

Potential use cases

06

  • A highlighted region is about to be briefed as proof the picture was altered. On 24 Oct 2026 the page said the tools are a magnifying glass that cannot tell true from false, and that absence of evidence is still not evidence of absence. Clone detection highlights similar regions. Similar regions can be a repeating texture. The frames here are a synthetic color pattern, not a face.
  • Free is about to fill in a license. The title says free online photo forensics tools, and the about text says a set of free tools. No dollar price and no SPDX field were printed. The changelog’s latest line is 2025-03-29, for modernized dependencies. C2PA was added on 2024-04-12. Those dates are not a license identifier.
  • A C2PA panel is about to be treated as a verdict. The page says signed metadata still isn’t inherently trustworthy, and it describes the tool as relatively basic. Remote fetching is disabled. The FAQ says images stay on the computer and RAW is not supported. The highest quality format named is 24-bit PNG.

Hard cases

The case where the first result is easy to over-read.

A similar region is called a fake

Clone detection highlights similar regions of the loaded file. The page says a magnifying glass cannot tell true from false. The file opened for this listing is a synthetic color pattern. A bright region in that pattern is the tool’s output, not a verdict about a case photo.
