CleenVerify was developed as a part of the SVDJ Accelerator.

Latest Generators

We run regular benchmarks to adapt our verification suite to the newest AI-generator models, such as Nano Banana 2 and Flux.2.

Auditable

Our verification engine does not run on an AI LLM, it runs on a proprietary logic that is auditable.

Customizable

Different organizations have different requirements when it comes to image verification. We work with you to adjust our tool to your use case.

Five independent verification categories for every image.

CleenVerify works with deterministic verification methods to provide evidence for our verdicts. We complement these with our forensic verification suite.

Provenance (C2PA): Whether the image carries signed proof of the file’s origin
Metadata Analysis: Relevant information is detected, corroborated and surfaced for accurate results
Compression Analysis: Whether the files’ encoding shows signs of having been edited
AI-generation Detection: Whether the image was created by an AI model
Local Forensics: Which parts of the image have been changed
More OSINT Categories: Additional open-source intelligence checks are available

Infrastructure for newsrooms.

We learn from the ecosystem and build only what the sector needs. No ads, no irrelevant features.

Journalism Focused, Netherlands Based

We are based in Amsterdam. Our software fits the editorial workflows of journalists. It makes editors faster at verification and lowers the risk of unknowingly distributing deepfakes and other AI-generated media.

Your Partner in Adopting Innovation

We help you integrate C2PA checks, AI labelling and watermark detection into your systems, bridging adoption gaps and establishing provenance and trust across the media supply chain.

Built to Your Requirements

We align with your criteria for data processing, GDPR, EU data sovereignty and AI use policies.

Ready for the EU AI Act.

Transparency rules now reach the newsroom. CleenVerify helps you meet them with checks you can audit.

Article 50 of the EU AI Act requires providers to mark specific AI-generated content in a machine-readable way. It also requires deployers to disclose deepfakes.
The final Code of Practice on Transparency of AI-Generated Content names C2PA-style metadata and watermarking as example techniques.
Dutch media groups state that the Act obliges media organisations to make clear when AI was used in certain cases, such as deepfakes.
Privacy by design: CleenVerify acts as a GDPR data processor, stores data in the AWS EU region (Frankfurt), and uses no facial recognition or biometric data. More EU-Sovereign solutions are available on demand.
