Photography Validation

The complete analysis takes between 3 and 5 business days, depending on image complexity. In urgent cases, we can expedite the process.

It is essential to send the original uncompressed image, as it came from the camera or was received. Preferably in RAW or maximum quality JPEG format. Do not send it via WhatsApp or social media that compress images.

We can detect most manipulations, especially if common techniques were used. Very professional manipulations may be harder to prove, but metadata and structural analysis usually reveal evidence.

EXIF metadata is technical information that cameras and smartphones save in photos: date, time, camera model, settings, GPS location, software used, etc. It is very useful for determining authenticity.

We can still perform visual, structural, and physical coherence analysis (lighting, shadows, perspectives). The absence of metadata itself can be an indication of manipulation.

Yes, our reports have full legal validity. They are prepared by digital forensic experts who can ratify their conclusions before the court.

If EXIF metadata is present and has not been modified, yes. We can also determine if the date has been altered through coherence analysis.

ELA is a forensic technique that detects differences in JPEG compression levels within an image. When a JPEG photo is edited and saved again, modified areas will have different compression levels than the rest, revealing manipulation. It is especially useful for detecting photo composites, cloning, and inserted objects.

Yes, although the analysis of scanned analog photographs is different. We focus on detecting digital manipulations made after scanning, verifying the authenticity of the digitization process, and analyzing possible retouches. For old physical photos, we also offer physical support analysis if available.

Yes, we use specific techniques to detect AI-generated images (Midjourney, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion) or AI-enhanced images. We look for characteristic patterns in textures, impossible geometries, physical inconsistencies, generation artifacts, and other signs that reveal synthetic content. AI generators leave specific detectable "fingerprints."

We analyze all common formats: JPEG/JPG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, GIF, RAW (CR2, NEF, ARW, DNG, etc.), HEIC, WebP, and many others. RAW formats are ideal because they contain more forensic information. We also work with images extracted from PDFs, Word documents, or screenshots, although with limitations.

Yes, our forensic experts are prepared to appear in court, ratify the expert report, explain the technical methodology applied, and answer questions from the judge and parties. Their experience and professional certifications guarantee technical credibility before any court.

There is no limit. We can analyze from a single image to complete collections of hundreds or thousands of photos. In cases with multiple images, we can do cross-analysis to detect inconsistencies between photographs supposedly taken at the same time and place. The price is adjusted according to volume.

Platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter automatically recompress images when sending or uploading, which removes or modifies EXIF metadata and hinders forensic analysis. It is always better to work with the original image. If you only have the compressed version, we can analyze it but with significant technical limitations and warnings in the report.
