made with Seedance?
A free AI video detector built on the official ModelArk verification API. Upload a video to check for Seedance artifact signals and retrieve the model version and resolution when available.

How it works
Check artifact signals, not just how the video looks
The workflow uses the official ModelArk verification APIs and preserves the uncertainty stated in the returned result.
Check both nodes
Volcengine and BytePlus are queried in parallel, and their official results are combined automatically.
Explain the result
The site shows the match status, model version, resolution, channel and official result message.
Understand the result
Three outcomes, clearly bounded
Automated verification supports review decisions. It is not a legal or forensic determination.

Possibly generated by an official ModelArk model.
No significant signals
This does not rule out Seedance as a source.
Unable to determine
Use a more original or complete source file.
Detection scope: the official API covers the Seedance model family only (Seedance 2.0+ videos, Seedream 5.0+ images) and verifies artifacts generated within roughly the last 30 days. It does not detect Sora, Kling, Runway or generic deepfakes, and re-encoding can remove the signals it relies on.

Common questions
Short answers about formats, privacy, routing and accuracy.
How does the Seedance video detector work?
The site creates an official ModelArk artifact verification task, polls its result, and displays the official signal match, model name and resolution when available.
Does a negative result prove a video was not made with Seedance?
No. A negative result only means that no significant ModelArk artifact signals were detected. It does not rule out Seedance as a possible source.
Which formats are supported?
MP4, MOV and AVI files up to 100MB are supported.
Do I need to choose a verification region?
No. The system checks Volcengine and BytePlus in parallel and combines both official results automatically.
Are uploaded videos stored?
Videos are kept temporarily for verification and deleted when the task succeeds or fails.
Is this an official ByteDance tool?
No. Seedance Check is an independent third-party tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by ByteDance, Volcengine or BytePlus. It calls the publicly available official verification API.
Which AI models can it detect?
Only the Seedance family covered by the official ModelArk verification API (Seedance 2.0 and later video models, Seedream 5.0 and later image models). It cannot detect Sora, Kling, Runway, Veo or generic deepfakes — a negative result never means a video is not AI-generated.
How recent must the video be?
The official API verifies artifacts generated within roughly the last 30 days. Older videos, or videos that were re-encoded, cropped or heavily compressed, may fail to verify even if they were made with Seedance.
