No account, no word limit

We never ask for a name, an email address or a university.

No invented number

Separate findings, not one percentage. Style is never counted as evidence.

Says what it cannot do

Claude's statistical watermark is checkable by nobody today, including us.

The short answer

This watermark checker is free with no sign-up, no email address and no word limit, and it will stay that way. The detection is character arithmetic that runs in your browser, so there is no expensive model to pay for and nothing to meter. It finds invisible Unicode characters, hidden encoded messages and mixed-alphabet words, and it tells you plainly that Claude's actual statistical watermark cannot be checked by any public tool today.

How to run a free watermark check

  1. 1

    Paste your text, or drop in the file

    Copy rather than retype — invisible characters only survive a copy-paste. PDF, DOCX and TXT are read locally, and a DOCX also gives up its editing time and save count.

  2. 2

    No account, no word limit

    You are never asked for a name, an email address or a university. The text is analysed in your browser and the analysed text is then stored on our EU servers for twelve months, never linked to your identity.

  3. 3

    Read each finding separately

    You get one card per layer, each with its own confidence, and no combined percentage. Character findings are definite. Style habits are not evidence and are labelled as such.

Why is it free?

Because it costs us almost nothing. Every layer of this check is arithmetic over the characters in your text, and your browser does it in milliseconds. There is no API call and no model inference, so there is no marginal cost to pass on and no reason to put a limit on it.

That is also why there is no paid tier here and no upsell inside the result. Where we do charge — the full AI check, at €4.99 once — it is for something that genuinely costs money to run.

What is the catch?

The honest one: this check answers a narrower question than you probably want answered. It tells you what invisible characters are in your document. It cannot tell you whether Claude wrote your text, because nobody can do that yet, and it cannot tell you whether a university's AI detector will flag you.

If that second question is the real one, our AI check is the tool for it, and it publishes its false-positive rate beside every verdict — free for the first 1,500 words.

Frequently asked questions

No. The check runs on your own computer, so there is nothing for us to meter. Paste a full thesis if you want to.
No. No account, no email address, no name. We never ask who you are — anonymity is the point of this site, not an afterthought.
Yes. It costs nothing to operate, so there is nothing to recover. There is no paid tier of this tool and none planned.
PDF, DOCX and TXT files are opened and read inside your browser — the file itself is never uploaded. The text extracted from it is stored anonymously on our EU servers for twelve months and then deleted automatically. No account, no name and no email address is ever attached to it.

The real question: will your work be flagged as AI?

That is what universities actually run, and those detectors are wrong about human writing more often than they admit. Our AI check publishes its false-positive rate beside every verdict. Free for the first 1,500 words.
