AI generation metadata
Detect and strip AI generation data from PNG text, XMP fields, C2PA manifests, prompts, seeds, model names, and workflow hints when they are stored in the file.
Remove AI Metadata from Images Before You Share
Remove AI Metadata is a browser-based image metadata inspector and privacy cleaner. See and remove GPS, EXIF, PNG prompts, C2PA and AI tags without uploading anything.

AI labels explained
What does the AI label on a photo mean?
When Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and other platforms show labels such as “Made with AI,” the label can be triggered by hidden metadata inside the image file. AI tools and editors may write invisible provenance data that a platform can read during upload.
RemoveAIMetadata.com focuses on removing stored metadata for privacy. It is not a bypass tool and does not promise to turn off every AI label on every platform.
AI tool names such as Midjourney, DALL-E, Adobe Firefly, Stable Diffusion, or ComfyUI.
Generation parameters such as prompt, seed, sampler, model, workflow, settings, timestamps, and version data.
C2PA content credentials and other provenance records that describe how a file was created or edited.
By AI tool
What each AI tool leaves in your file
Each generator writes different traces. Here is what ChatGPT, Gemini, Midjourney, Firefly and Stable Diffusion store, what this tool removes, and what stays in the pixels.
| AI tool | What it leaves | What this tool removes | What it can't remove |
|---|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT / DALL-E (OpenAI) | C2PA Content Credentials signed by OpenAI, plus an invisible SynthID watermark in the pixels. | The C2PA manifest and any EXIF or XMP fields. | The SynthID watermark, because it is part of the image itself. |
| Gemini / Nano Banana (Google) | C2PA Content Credentials and an invisible SynthID watermark; Gemini app images can also show a visible sparkle mark. | The C2PA manifest and AI source fields stored as metadata. | SynthID and any visible mark drawn into the image. |
| Midjourney | XMP and IPTC fields that mark the image as AI-generated, often with the prompt and job ID. | All of these fields, including the prompt. | Nothing stored in the file is kept, but the picture itself can still look AI-made to a detector. |
| Adobe Firefly / Photoshop Generative Fill | C2PA Content Credentials that record the generative edit, plus XMP edit history. | The C2PA manifest and the XMP history. | Credentials Adobe may keep in its cloud, which can be matched back to the image from its pixels. |
| Stable Diffusion / ComfyUI | PNG text chunks with the prompt, seed, sampler, model and, for ComfyUI, the full workflow. | All PNG text, including the prompt and workflow. | An invisible watermark that some pipelines add, such as the SDXL reference code. |
Removing metadata does not remove invisible watermarks such as SynthID, so platforms and detectors can still recognise those images. This is a privacy tool, not a bypass tool.
What it removes
Remove AI metadata, photo metadata, and hidden file details
Check and clean images before you publish, send, or upload them. The cleaner deletes stored photo metadata that can expose private details, editing history, or AI creation signals.
EXIF, GPS, and camera data
Clean device names, camera settings, timestamps, and GPS location metadata from photos before you share them.
XMP, IPTC, and editor fields
Strip creator tools, author fields, copyright notes, editorial metadata, and embedded editing history that the browser can read.
PNG, JPEG, WebP, and HEIC workflows
Use lossless strip for supported PNG/JPEG files or redraw mode for browser-supported formats, including HEIC decoded locally before export.
How to remove photo metadata
How to remove AI metadata in three quick steps
1
Upload images locally
Drop a photo onto the upload box. The scan starts in your browser, so your files never leave your device.
2
Review hidden signals
See whether the image contains EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC, C2PA, AI tags, or PNG text fields before you clean it.
3
Clean and download
Choose redraw or lossless mode, clean the file, check the rescan, then download the clean file (with a Credit Pack or Pro, a whole batch downloads as one ZIP).
Features
A fast AI metadata cleaner built for private uploads
Browser-only processing
Images are scanned and cleaned locally. Nothing is uploaded to a server at any step.
AI tag remover for stored metadata
Find AI provenance text, content credentials hints, prompt fields, and generator records that are stored as metadata.
Batch cleanup with a Credit Pack or Pro
A Credit Pack or Pro cleans up to 50 images per run and downloads them as one ZIP. Free credits clean one image at a time.
Lossless or redraw mode
Keep PNG/JPEG pixels intact where possible, or redraw the image to remove more metadata across browser-supported formats.
Before/after verification
Check cleaned output, remaining signals, file size, dimensions, and SHA-256 hashes after processing.
Honest about what it can't remove
It removes stored metadata. It does not remove pixel watermarks such as SynthID, and it does not make AI images undetectable.
Private and fast
Clean images without waiting on uploads
Because everything runs in your browser, cleanup starts immediately and sensitive photo metadata stays on your device.

Etsy and POD sellers
Prepare product mockups and listing images with fewer hidden AI or editor traces.
Privacy-conscious users
Remove hidden photo metadata before sending images to friends, forums, or public sites.
FAQ
Questions about AI metadata, labels, and privacy
What does this AI metadata remover actually remove?
It scans each image for stored metadata, then removes AI generation tags, EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC, PNG text, and C2PA Content Credentials when they are present in the file.
Is it free, and do I need an account?
You can clean 2 images free without an account, and a free account cleans 2 images free every day. Beyond that, each cleaned image uses 1 credit from a Credit Pack or a Pro plan; see the pricing page.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Every image is scanned and cleaned locally in your browser, so your files never leave your device and are never uploaded to our servers. Only the number of cleaned images is sent, to count credits.
How long does it take to remove metadata from an image?
Usually a few seconds per image. There is no upload or queue: scanning starts as soon as you add files and cleaning runs on your own device. Files can be up to 50 MB each, and a Credit Pack or Pro cleans up to 50 images per run.
Can this turn off the AI label on Instagram or Facebook?
It removes stored metadata that may contribute to an AI label, including C2PA and AI generation tags. Platforms can also use other signals, such as invisible watermarks, so no metadata remover can guarantee that an AI label will never appear.
Does it remove SynthID or other pixel watermarks?
No. It removes file-level metadata. It does not remove robust watermarks embedded in the pixels, such as the SynthID watermark that Google and OpenAI add to their images.
How do I delete photo metadata?
Upload a photo, review the metadata findings, choose your cleanup mode, click clean, then download the stripped image. That is the fastest way to remove photo metadata before sharing.
Can I use the cleaned images commercially?
Remove AI Metadata does not add watermarks or claim any rights to your files. Whether you can use an image commercially depends on its source, such as the license or terms of the AI tool that generated it, not on whether its metadata was removed.
How is this different from ExifTool or exporting without metadata in Photoshop or Lightroom?
ExifTool is a powerful, free command-line tool that you install and run yourself, and Photoshop or Lightroom export settings can drop some metadata, but they are paid Adobe apps and may not show C2PA or AI generation fields. Remove AI Metadata runs in the browser with nothing to install, shows what it found, including C2PA and AI generation tags, cleans one image at a time (or up to 50 per run with a Credit Pack or Pro) and rescans every output.
Can it make an AI image undetectable?
No. RemoveAIMetadata.com is a privacy tool for stored metadata, not a bypass product. It removes stored metadata and is clear about its limits.
