Certify deepfakes, fake videos, cloned audio and AI-manipulated content with EU and international legal validity
When you are a victim of a deepfake – manipulated video with your face, cloned audio of your voice, AI images depicting you in false situations – or discover artificially intelligence-generated content used to defame, defraud or extort money from you, it is fundamental to forensically certify the deepfake content before it is deleted, modified or becomes contestable. With forensic deepfake and AI-manipulated content certification, fake videos, cloned audios and synthetic images are acquired through verifiable technical methodologies, analyzed with AI detection tools and transformed into an opposable, intact, and timestamped evidentiary package, compliant with the legal requirements of the European and international regulatory framework.
We certify deepfakes on any platform and format: deepfake videos (YouTube, TikTok, Twitter/X, Facebook, websites), deepfake audios (phone calls, WhatsApp/Telegram voice messages), AI-generated images (Midjourney, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion), deepfake revenge porn. The service can be performed remotely for clients in any European and non-European country, preserving forensic integrity and evidentiary value.
Why Screenshots or Simple Downloads of Deepfakes Are Not Enough
- A screenshot of a deepfake video or simple download of the file is easily contestable (“could have been modified after download”) and is regularly rejected in court as technically weak evidence.
- Deepfakes disappear rapidly: uploaders delete them once discovered, platforms remove reported content, links become inactive, accounts are suspended.
- Without a documented process of forensic acquisition with frame-by-frame analysis, metadata extraction, certified AI detection and digital chain of custody, the irrefutable proof that the deepfake existed and of its technical characteristics is missing.
- Non-certified downloads do not include essential technical elements: original upload timestamp, EXIF metadata, AI artifact analysis, audio waveform, verifiable cryptographic hash.
Types of Certifiable Deepfakes and AI Content
🎬 Deepfake Video Certification
- Face swap deepfake: one person’s face replaced with another’s (e.g., politician saying never-stated things, CEO authorizing fraudulent transfers);

Forensic Technical Analysis to Detect and Certify Deepfakes
🔬 Frame-by-Frame Video Analysis
Forensic frame-by-frame analysis of the deepfake video reveals:
- Digital AI artifacts: distortions, glitches, inconsistencies between consecutive frames typical of AI generation;
- Lighting inconsistencies: unnaturally changing light direction, impossible shadows;
- Abnormal face edges: blurring, irregular contours where face was replaced;
- Abnormal eyelid blinking: unnatural blinking frequency (many deepfakes have this defect);
- Desynchronized lip movements: imperfect lipsync relative to audio;
- Unnatural skin texture: too smooth skin or repetitive AI-generated patterns;
- Missing eye reflections: lack of reflections in eyes or incoherent reflections;
- Irregular frame frequency: FPS changes indicating manipulation.
Output: detailed report with screenshots of suspicious frames highlighted, temporal anomaly analysis.
🎵 Audio Waveform and Frequency Analysis
Forensic analysis of deepfake audio identifies:
- Unnatural frequency patterns: AI-cloned voice has spectrogram different from real human voice;
- AI artifacts in audio: glitches, clicks, discontinuities typical of voice synthesis;
- Absent/unnatural breathing: many AI audios forget natural breathing sounds;
- Robotic intonation: flat prosody, lack of natural emotional variations;
- Abnormal background noise: artificially generated background noise;
- Suspicious compression: traces of text-to-speech conversion;
- Missing natural harmonics: synthetic voice lacks overtones of human voice.
Tools used: spectrographic analysis, Adobe Audition forensics, iZotope RX, professional frequency analyzers.

- EU AI Act (Regulation EU 2024/1689): 2024 NOVELTY! World’s first regulation on artificial intelligence. Mandates transparency on AI-generated content, prohibits deceptive deepfakes, imposes watermark on synthetic content. Provides legal basis for actions against harmful deepfakes.
- e-Privacy Directive 2002/58/EC: protection against unauthorized interceptions and recordings (applicable to deepfake audios);
- Criminal law aggravated defamation: defamation via online-published deepfakes;
- Fraud: deepfake use to obtain illicit profits (BEC fraud, phone scams);
- Extortion: deepfakes used for blackmail;
- Cryptographic integrity (SHA-256 hash): digital fingerprint of original deepfake file;

GDPR Compliance and Personal Data Protection
Deepfakes contain biometric data (faces, voices) which are sensitive personal data according to GDPR. We manage everything in full compliance with GDPR (EU 2016/679), applying data minimization, purpose limitation (legal rights defense of deepfake victim), maximum technical security, access traceability and strictly limited retention.
The acquisition of deepfakes to document fraud/defamation/extortion constitutes a legitimate interest (Art. 6, par. 1, let. f GDPR) for protection of the victim’s fundamental rights. Biometric data are processed according to Art. 9 GDPR (exception for establishment/exercise of rights in court). Upon request, redaction of non-essential parts for court filing.
