Is this really a PNG?
Drop a file with a .png extension and we will compare its magic bytes to the PNG (Portable Network Graphics image) signature. Bytes never leave your browser.

How we check
Every PNG file starts with a fixed sequence of bytes called a magic-byte signature. We read the first few bytes of the file you drop, compare them against the signature for Portable Network Graphics image, and report MATCH, MISMATCH, AMBIGUOUS, or UNKNOWN. On desktop we also run an AI content classifier on ambiguous content, locally in your browser.
Nothing is uploaded. The bytes never leave your device. Read the full data flow on the Magic numbers explainer.
