Toren is a web-based detector for AI-generated, deepfaked or edited images, video and text. Scans can start from a direct media URL, an uploaded file or pasted text. Results provide a verdict, confidence score and short explanation. For images and video, Toren examines compression fingerprints, frame consistency and metadata; text analysis looks at style and structure patterns. Video checks multiple moments across a clip rather than one frame, but video URL scanning is disabled, so video must be uploaded. Creating an account provides 25 free tokens. Typical costs are one token for text, two for images and four for video. Paid choices include one-time packs from $1.65, paid once for 100 tokens to $42.99, paid once for 2,500 tokens, plus monthly subscriptions from $1.99 a month for 150 tokens to $199.99 a month for 25,000 tokens. Logged-in users can revisit results for up to five days. Toren says uploaded originals are deleted after analysis, while results remain temporarily. It describes detections as estimates that can be wrong, especially with low-quality or heavily edited files.
