How Pixitly Works

📸 PixCheck Lab

1. Drop any photo into the lab (or click to browse).
2. Hit Run PixCheck.
3. Get your verdict: metadata forensics, fingerprint hunt, and pixel-clue scan — with a plain-English explanation of what gave it away.
4. Everything runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.

🎮 The Game — Pixel or AI?

1. Pick a difficulty: Rookie, Sleuth, or Forensic.
2. A mystery image appears, heavily pixelated.
3. Reveal more to sharpen it — or trust your gut and guess now. Earlier correct guesses score way more.
4. Choose REAL PHOTO or AI-MADE.
5. After each round, see exactly what gave it away. Streaks multiply your score.
6. 10 rounds per game. Your best score is saved on your device.

🕵️ Detective tips

• Hands & teeth: AI still fumbles fingers and smiles.
• Too perfect: real photos have dust, grain, happy accidents.
• Background weirdness: check edges, text, and repeating patterns.
• Noise: natural camera noise is even; AI noise can be patchy.
