Visual verification support

InVID

A specialist tool that supports image and video checks through frame-based inspection, but does not settle context on its own.

Best used for

  • Checking a suspicious image
  • Extracting frames from a short video
  • Building a visual clue list

Where it helps journalists

  • Helps break a scene into checkable elements
  • Opens the door to further visual investigation

Limits and caution

  • The tool does not understand political or temporal context by itself
  • Visual matches can still mislead

Do not rely on it for

  • Fixing location or date without other evidence
  • Proving authenticity from the tool alone
