Tool Information
Mirage is an Apple application for detecting signs of image editing and inspecting possible manipulation.
Users install the verified app, analyze a lawful image, treat results as probabilistic clues, preserve the original and metadata, and use qualified forensic experts for legal, journalistic, or safety decisions.
The app is free to download and paid access starts around $8.41 per month; exact regional pricing and renewal terms are shown by Apple.
Detection can produce false positives and negatives and cannot prove authenticity alone. Chain of custody, metadata, multiple methods, expert review, privacy, and billing terms matter.
