Verify before you publish
Location verification for newsrooms. GeoInfer checks where an image was taken, useful for breaking news, conflict reporting, and an environment where AI-generated content is increasingly common.

Almost every platform removes it, and reverse search only finds copies. The prediction comes from the picture itself.

The Value Gap
The Cost of Publishing Unverified Imagery
One misattributed image can undermine an entire investigation. Retractions are expensive, not just financially.
Editorial Credibility
Reduce the risk of publishing recycled, misattributed, or manipulated images. Visual verification adds a documented layer to your editorial process.
Faster Source Verification
Check the geographic origin of submitted images in seconds, not hours of manual OSINT work.
Conflict Zone Reach
Geolocate imagery from areas reporters can't reach. Visual-only analysis works when on-the-ground verification isn't possible.
Differentiator
Traditional OSINT takes hours.
GeoInfer takes seconds.
No Metadata Required
Works when social media platforms strip location data and sources are anonymous. No GPS, no EXIF needed.
Conflict-Zone Ready
Effective in areas with no Street View coverage, limited satellite imagery, and no physical access.
Handles AI-Edited Content
Identify location inconsistencies in AI-generated or manipulated images by comparing visual content against real-world geography.
Outcomes
What Changes
Publication confidence
Images can be independently checked against their claimed location before they reach print or broadcast.
Verification speed
Hours of manual OSINT geolocation reduced to seconds of automated visual analysis.
Source integrity
Systematic visual verification for incoming tips, citizen journalism, and social media content.
Global reach
Verify imagery from conflict zones, disaster areas, and restricted environments, without physical presence.
How It Works
How It Fits Into Your Workflow
GeoInfer connects to newsroom editorial processes as a visual verification step.
Source Verification
Check where an image was actually taken versus where it's claimed to be from. Especially useful for anonymous sources and citizen journalism.
Conflict Geolocation
Geolocate images from conflict zones, natural disasters, and humanitarian crises when physical access is limited or dangerous.
Fact-Checking
Detect recycled or misattributed images in news cycles. Identify when old photos are presented as current events.
OSINT Integration
Batch-process images from social media, messaging apps, and digital archives for systematic location verification.
