Midjourney v7 image checker
Check if an image is AI-generated when someone says it is Midjourney v7. The version is a generation-record question. This page does not see a version number in the pixels.

What a v7-era file tends to keep
v7 is a later Midjourney model, not a separate website. A file made while v7 was the default is still a Midjourney delivery: the useful copy is the download from Midjourney, and the weak copy is a screenshot or a social re-encode. Newer Midjourney versions can exist alongside v7. This page does not tell those versions apart.
Midjourney’s own authenticity page applies to images it delivers, including current ones: a hidden ID tag, checked on their site, and easily lost. Independent descriptions of downloads made after the later metadata update mention a prompt, a job id and an IPTC algorithmic-media flag in unsigned XMP. Older v6-era files often predate that packaging. We have not measured a set of confirmed v7 originals.
If you need the version, ask for the job record in the Midjourney account that created it. A filename containing “v7”, a caption, or a familiar draftsmanship style does not establish the model. Our optional classifier estimates AI generation in general. It has not been validated as a v7 attribution model.

Metadata and Content Credentials
Nothing on Midjourney’s Content Authenticity page says v7 embeds a C2PA manifest. Third-party roundups that claim C2PA for Midjourney disagree with that page and with other 2026 write-ups that report no manifest. Until Midjourney documents C2PA for a specific download path, do not assume a v7 file has signed Content Credentials.
What you can do here: read whatever source text is still in the file, and optionally request a general model score. What you cannot do here: verify their ID tag, trust an edited prompt string, or treat a missing credential as evidence the picture is a photograph.
This site can notice source text in the first part of a file. It does not verify C2PA signatures, asset bindings or certificate trust, and it has no SynthID decoder.
Visual tells, treated cautiously
v7 changed Midjourney’s look again. The changes are not a test you can apply by eye.
Cleaner small structure
Hands, type and repeating detail fail less often than in much older versions. Clean detail is also what a camera produces.
Less obvious ‘AI gloss’
People describe v7 as less waxy than early v6. Retouching and other current generators sit in the same range.
Prompt-like composition
Centered subjects and cinematic grade show up because prompts ask for them. A photographer can frame the same way.
How this check handles the file
Source clues are checked in your browser first. When needed, file-header data and a smaller image copy may be sent to our backend and detection provider. Model copies have embedded metadata removed. Image URLs are retrieved by our server; see the privacy policy for processing and provider retention. Privacy details
Sources for the generator notes
Questions about Midjourney v7.
The answers below are about this generator’s files, not a promise to name the model.
Can this tell Midjourney v7 from v6?
No. We do not have a v7 classifier. A generation record from the Midjourney account is the version evidence. Visual style overlaps v6, later versions and other tools.
Do v7 images include C2PA?
Midjourney’s authenticity documentation describes a hidden ID tag and their own verifier, not a C2PA manifest. Do not assume signed Content Credentials. If a manifest is present, this site still does not verify the signature.
Where should a screenshot go?
You can check it here. Expect missing source text. An inconclusive or unavailable model result is not a camera verdict.
Is the check free?
No account is required. Limits and provider availability still apply.
