Is fal down?
fal looks healthy. The official status page reports all systems operational and our independent checks are passing.
faldown detector & server status
Is fal down or not working right now? This live fal down detector combines fal.ai's official status feed, our own independent checks, and first-party user reports — and shows whether it's the falAPI, the app, or a specific capability that's affected, plus the upstream AI provider it depends on. Use it to tell whether falis having an outage today, and whether it's down for everyone or just you.
Crowd signal — your reports, not our automated checks.

Uptime & history
Tracking since Jun 22, 2026% of our checks that found fal fully operational — a degraded check counts against it, because a slow or partly-broken service is not a working one. Down and degraded time are counted at our 5-minute check resolution, so both are approximate. Longer windows fill in as data accrues — we never show uptime we haven't measured.

What this page can and can't tell you
- How we decide. We combine fal.ai's official status feed, our own independent check from US East (Virginia), and first-party reports from readers. The confidence badge shows how many of those signals agree.
- On root cause. We have no visibility inside fal.ai's systems. We report what the signals show rather than guessing at an internal cause.
- Outages are rarely all-or-nothing. Some are regional. Some hit one surface while the rest works, so the fal API can fail while the app is fine. The capability panel breaks it down.
- Green doesn't mean everyone. If our check reaches falbut you can't, the problem is more likely local: your network, a VPN, browser extensions, or cache.
Frequently asked
Is fal down right now?+
Right now, fal appears to be operational. fal looks healthy. The official status page reports all systems operational and our independent checks are passing.
Is there a fal down detector?+
Yes — this page is a live fal down detector. It combines fal's official status feed, our own independent reachability check, first-party user reports, and the AI dependency graph, then shows a confidence level so you can tell a real outage from a local glitch. fal is currently operational. We only show signals we can actually verify — never invented report totals.
Is there a fal outage today?+
No active fal outage is detected right now — it appears operational. For past incidents and dated outage recaps, see fal's status history below.
What is fal's server status and API status right now?+
fal is currently operational. Server status and API status aren't always the same — the fal API can fail while the web app works, or vice-versa. The capability panel on this page breaks status down by surface (API, app, and any image/voice features) so you can see exactly which part is affected.
Is the fal API down? (fal.ai API status)+
Check the API row in the capability panel above — fal is currently operational overall, but the API can carry its own status. For developers, "fal.ai API status" problems usually surface here first, because we read fal.ai's own status feed and watch the API surface directly.
Why is fal slow or not working?+
Common causes are an upstream provider incident, API rate limits during peak demand, a regional CDN issue, or maintenance. fal is currently operational. We show the official status, our independent check, and a confidence level so you can see which signals point to a real problem.
Is fal down for everyone or just me?+
We check fal from our own servers, independent of your device or network, and combine that with fal.ai's official feed and user reports. If our independent check reaches fal but you can't, the problem is most likely local — try a different network, disable a VPN/extensions, or clear your cache. If our check and the official status both show problems, fal is down for everyone.
How can I tell if it's fal or my own connection?+
AIDownCheck runs an independent reachability check from our own servers, separate from fal's official status page. If our check passes but you still can't connect, the problem is more likely local — try a different network, clear your cookies, disable VPN/extensions, or use a different browser. If our check is failing too, it's more likely fal's side.
What can I use while fal is down?+
Good alternatives include Replicate, Groq. We track their live status too, so you can switch to one that's currently operational.
Where is fal's official status page?+
fal's official status page is at https://status.fal.ai. AIDownCheck reads it automatically and combines it with our own checks — so you get the answer without juggling tabs.
