Trust Shorts, Reels, and TikToks again.ScrollSafe spots likely AI in seconds.
Built specifically for short-form feeds, ScrollSafe adds a subtle badge to YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok so you can see when a clip is probably synthetic.
Labels appear automatically while you scroll.
Short-form feeds are flooded with AI videos.
TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts move too fast for manual verification. That makes it easy for synthetic clips to go viral without context or accountability.
- Convincing deepfakes used for misinformation
- AI ads blending into organic content
- No platform-native signal about authenticity
ScrollSafe surfaces the truth with clear labels.
ScrollSafe delivers an always-on transparency layer for short-form video. We look at on-page metadata, captions, and frame signatures to estimate whether a clip is likely AI—without slowing down your scroll.
- Instant badges for Shorts, Reels, and TikToks
- Inline context on why something looks synthetic
- Privacy-first design with zero tracking
How ScrollSafe Works
Advanced detection, simplified for you. No complex setup, just browse like you always do.
Detect
ScrollSafe locks onto short-form players the moment Shorts, Reels, or TikToks enter view.
Analyze
We run ScrollSafe’s signal stack — visual fingerprints, temporal artifacts, and feed telemetry — against our heuristics.
Label
A compact badge appears on the player with a tooltip explaining why it's Verified, Suspicious, or Likely AI.
Doom Scroller
Our always-on crawler runs on ScrollSafe servers, patrolling public feeds, flagging AI clips, and preloading metadata so the extension can warn you before you reach them.
Coverage & Support
Optimized for short-form feeds. ScrollSafe currently supports Shorts, Reels, and TikTok with more platforms in R&D.
* Detection accuracy varies by platform compression and video quality.
Privacy-first by design.
ScrollSafe was built to improve the web, not to track you. We believe transparency starts with our own practices.
What we never collect
We never see your passwords, private messages, bank details, or unrelated browsing history. Our extension only activates on specific video platforms you choose.
Anonymous Metadata
To improve detection, we may collect anonymous video signatures. This contains zero personally identifiable information (PII).
Permissions Explained
Needed to scan video elements on supported sites and inject the "ScrollSafe" badge overlay into the UI.
Allows you to manually trigger a re-scan or report detection errors via a simple right-click.

Frequently Asked Questions
Today ScrollSafe runs on YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok on desktop Chrome. We’re experimenting with other short-form feeds and will roll them out once the signal is trustworthy.
We combine heuristics from the page (author, caption, hashtags) with a frame-level deep scan when you request it. The badge shows a likelihood—not an absolute verdict—so you can decide when to treat something as AI.
No. The content script only inspects the current short-form player, and deep scans run on our backend when you explicitly request them. Browsing performance stays the same.
We don’t see your passwords, private messages, or unrelated browsing history. The extension stores a short “recent videos” list locally so you can revisit detections, and deep-scan frames are deleted after inference.
Chrome requires that permission to let us find the short-form video element on a page and inject the ScrollSafe badge. We scope it only to YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.
