Add a Free AI Detection Badge to Your Website — Here's Why and How
If you run a blog, education site, or content platform, there's a simple way to build trust with your audience: show them you care about AI transparency. WriteMask's free AI detection badge lets visitors check any text for AI patterns — right from your site.
It takes one line of code. No account needed. No cost. Here's why it matters and how to set it up.
Why Add an AI Detection Badge?
AI-generated content is everywhere. Readers are increasingly skeptical about what they're reading. An AI detection badge on your site signals something powerful: you're transparent about content quality.
Here's what it does for you:
- Builds trust. Visitors see that you take content authenticity seriously. That matters more than ever in 2026.
- Increases engagement. People click the badge to check text. That's interaction, time on site, and a reason to come back.
- Adds utility. Education blogs, writing communities, and content review sites give readers a genuinely useful tool.
- Zero maintenance. The badge loads from WriteMask's CDN. No updates, no dependencies, no breaking changes.
Who Should Use This?
The badge is especially valuable for:
- Education blogs — students and teachers want quick AI checks
- Writing communities — forums and critique sites where authenticity matters
- Content agencies — show clients you verify content quality
- News and media sites — demonstrate editorial standards
- Anyone who publishes content — transparency is a competitive advantage
How to Install It (60 Seconds)
Add this single line of code anywhere in your HTML:
<script src="https://writemask.com/widget.js"></script>
That's it. The badge appears automatically. Clicking it opens WriteMask's free AI detector where visitors can paste and check any text.
Customization Options
The badge supports two customization options via data attributes:
Theme — match your site's look:
- Light theme (default):
<script src="https://writemask.com/widget.js" data-theme="light"></script> - Dark theme:
<script src="https://writemask.com/widget.js" data-theme="dark"></script>
Size — fit your layout:
- Small (default): compact badge for sidebars and footers
- Large:
<script src="https://writemask.com/widget.js" data-size="large"></script>
You can combine both: <script src="https://writemask.com/widget.js" data-theme="dark" data-size="large"></script>
What Does the Badge Look Like?
The badge is a clean, professional trust seal with WriteMask branding. It says "AI Detection by WriteMask" with a shield icon. It's designed to look like a quality mark — similar to SSL badges or review platform seals that visitors already recognize and trust.
On hover, it lifts slightly with a subtle shadow effect. Clicking opens the AI detector in a new tab. The whole thing loads in under 3KB with zero external dependencies.
Where to Place It
The most effective placements:
- Footer — visible on every page, doesn't interfere with content
- Sidebar — especially on blog layouts with a sidebar widget area
- About page — reinforces your commitment to authentic content
- Individual blog posts — place it at the end of articles
It's Free. No Catch.
The badge is completely free. No account required. No tracking pixels. No data collection from your visitors. It simply links to WriteMask's free AI detector — a tool that's already free to use without login.
We built this because AI transparency should be easy and accessible. The more sites that offer AI detection, the more trust there is in online content overall.
