The difference is in the details – drag the slider

Typical differences in workmanship: stitching consistency, edge finishing, detail quality. Left – factory quality, right – common replica flaws.

The same detail with typical replica flaws: crooked stitching, glue residue, rough edges Replica
Macro detail of an item: clean factory workmanship – even stitching, tidy edges Authentic
An illustration of typical flaws (AI-generated image), not a photo of a specific product. The flaws are shown deliberately large and obvious so they read at a glance: on a good replica the same differences can be far subtler, so "mine is not this bad" does not by itself mean "authentic". In the app, the AI inspects these same zones on your photos.
