68% of people asked about buying a used car worry about hidden faults or undisclosed damage. No other concern came higher. Cazoo survey of 2,025 UK adults, 23 October 2026, reported by AM Online
And AI can now erase a dent or change a mileage photo in seconds. Most people can’t tell by looking.
Car photos you can prove are real, not edited with AI.
A buyer can’t see the car until they make the trip, so the photos do the persuading. Here’s how to send car photos any buyer can prove are real, for free.
Free on Android. The buyer needs nothing but a browser.
How it works between a seller and a buyer
Four steps for each side. Neither of you needs an account.
If you’re selling
Show the car exactly as it is today, dents and all. Buyers who can check your photos have one less reason to doubt the rest of the listing.
- Install RIALITI Capture. It’s free on Google Play and takes a minute.
- Take the car photos inside the app. Only photos taken in RIALITI Capture get a public record. If anyone edits one later, by hand or with AI, it no longer matches.
- Send them wherever you already do. Share straight from the app to Facebook Marketplace, WhatsApp, your listing or an email.
- The record travels with the photo. Each photo can be checked by anyone, even after WhatsApp has shrunk it.
The photos go out the usual way: Facebook Marketplace, WhatsApp, a listing, an email.
If you’re buying
Cars are the biggest purchase-scam category in Santander UK’s claims: £660,960 from January to March 2026, more than four times the next category.

- Ask for RIALITI photos. Before you travel or pay, ask the seller to take the photos in RIALITI Capture. It’s free for them too.
- **Open check.rialiti.io.** It works in any browser, on any phone or computer. No app needed.
- Upload the photo you were sent. Save it from the chat or the listing first. A copy that came through WhatsApp is fine.
- Read the answer. It tells you whether the photo traces back to a real capture, and when it was taken. An AI image or an AI-edited photo traces back to nothing.
What the answer means
- A match means the photo is a real capture from a phone camera, not edited, and taken on the date shown.
- An AI image, or a photo edited with AI, traces back to nothing. It has no record to match, so it can’t be proven real.
- It can’t tell you what’s outside the frame, how the car drives, or who owns it. A photo with no match proves nothing either way, so ask for one taken in the app.
What to photograph
Take these in the app, in one go, in daylight. Tick them off as you go.
The ticks stay on this page only. Nothing is saved or sent.
Questions
How can I tell if a car photo is AI?
Mostly, you can’t. In a 2025 test, people judged real photos correctly 49% of the time and AI images 52%, about a coin toss, and only 9% got 70% or more right (Conjointly, 301 US adults). So don’t guess: ask for photos taken in RIALITI Capture and check them.
Can RIALITI tell whether an image is AI?
No. It proves real ones. A photo taken in the app can be shown to be real and unedited. Anything without a record, AI or not, can’t be proven either way.
Does the buyer need to install anything?
No. Anyone can check a photo for free at check.rialiti.io, in any browser. Only the person taking the photos needs the app.
Can I check a photo that came through WhatsApp?
Yes. WhatsApp makes photos smaller when it sends them, and that copy can still be checked against the original capture.
I’m on iPhone. Can I use it?
You can check photos from an iPhone at check.rialiti.io. Taking photos needs the Android app for now, because RIALITI Capture is not on iPhone yet.
