It is a simple web application that tells you in one word if this image is edited or not, it depends on the raw metadata of the photo to determine this but this is far away from enough since most photos, especially the ones on social media get their metadata removed or edited.
You can test them all depending on your need or how depth you want to analyze the photo and do your photo forensics to get too much useful data or you can combine them all to determine at the end of this photo is manipulated or not.
