AIForge-Doc: A Benchmark of AI-Forged Document Images
AIForge-Doc is the first large-scale benchmark of AI-forged document images, targeting financial and identity document fraud. Every tampered image was produced by a diffusion-model inpainting pipeline — a threat model that existing forgery detectors cannot reliably handle.
At a Glance

|---|---|
| Total forged images | 4,061 |
| Training split | 3,249 (80 %) |
| Testing split | 812 (20 %) |

| AI inpainting tools used | 2 (Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, Ideogram v2 Edit) |
| Source datasets | CORD v2, WildReceipt, SROIE, XFUND |
| Document types | Receipts (89.7 %), Forms (10.3 %) |
| Languages | 9 (EN, ID, DE, IT, ES, FR, PT, ZH, JA) |

File names are 9-digit zero-padded integers (000000001.png), identical to the
DocTamper dataset convention so that existing evaluation pipelines require no modification.

Forgery Generation Pipeline
Each forgery is created in four steps to prevent global image drift:
- Field selection — A numeric or key field (price, date, ID, phone) is chosen from the source annotation and a plausible replacement value is generated.
- Context crop — The bounding box is expanded 50 % on each side (minimum 100 px) to provide font and colour context for the inpainting model.
- Masked inpainting — The context crop is inpainted with the replacement text using a diffusion-model API (white mask = tamper region, black = preserve).
- Patch-back — Only the exact field bbox region is pasted back into the full image;
the ground-truth mask marks those pixels as
255.
This technique ensures that only the tampered field is replaced while the rest of the document (background, typography, logos) remains authentic.
Baseline Results
Evaluated on the TestingSet (812 forged + 812 authentic paired images).
Image-Level Detection (AUC-ROC)
| Method | AUC | 95 % CI | AP |
|---|---|---|---|
| TruFor (Guillaro et al., 2023) | 0.751 | [0.726, 0.776] | 0.709 |
| DocTamper (Qu et al., 2023) | 0.563 | [0.535, 0.591] | 0.564 |
| GPT-4o (zero-shot) | 0.509 | [0.481, 0.537] | 0.516 |
Pixel-Level Localisation (TruFor only)
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| IoU | 0.358 |
| F1 | 0.434 |
| Pixel-AUC | 0.916 |
Key finding: Even the best-performing detector (TruFor) achieves only 0.751 AUC — well below the ≥ 0.95 reported on traditional Photoshop-tampered benchmarks. DocTamper and GPT-4o are near-random, confirming that AI-generated forgeries represent a qualitatively different and substantially harder threat model.
