AI Metadata Remover

See which AI tags, Content Credentials and prompts your image carries, then remove them in one click. Runs in your browser, nothing is uploaded

What this AI metadata remover clears, and what it leaves

AI image tools write records into the file next to the picture: C2PA Content Credentials from ChatGPT, OpenAI and Gemini, IPTC tags that mark an image as AI-generated, EXIF fields like Software, XMP creator tools, and PNG text chunks where Stable Diffusion and ComfyUI store the full prompt. This tool lists what it finds, then cuts those blocks out of the file. It does not re-encode the image, so pixels, dimensions and the color profile stay exactly as they were
  • Detects C2PA, IPTC AI tags, EXIF, XMP and PNG prompt text
  • Removes metadata blocks without re-encoding pixels
  • JPG, PNG and WebP, up to 50 MB, free
  • Runs locally in your browser, no upload

How to remove AI metadata from an image

01

Choose or drop your image

JPG, PNG or WebP. The file is read in your browser and never uploaded

02

Check what was found

See each metadata block and any AI signals, such as C2PA Content Credentials or a generator name

03

Remove and download

Get a clean copy with the same pixels; your original file is not changed

Stripping metadata vs re-saving the image

Both drop the metadata. Only one keeps the image itself unchanged

AI metadata remover FAQ

Does this remove SynthID or other invisible watermarks?
No. SynthID and similar watermarks are hidden in the pixel values, not in the file's metadata, and this tool does not change pixels. It only removes the metadata records stored alongside the image
Will platforms stop labeling my image as AI after this?
We can't promise that. Platforms can also use their own detectors and pixel watermarks, which metadata removal does not affect. Follow the disclosure rules of the platform you post to
What metadata does it remove?
EXIF (including GPS and Software), XMP, IPTC, C2PA Content Credentials, JPEG comments, PNG text chunks such as Stable Diffusion parameters and ComfyUI workflows, and other non-image chunks. Color profile and image data are kept
Is my image uploaded?
No. Reading and cleaning both happen in your browser, and the clean copy is saved straight to your device
Why is the clean file a little smaller?
Because the metadata blocks are gone. C2PA Content Credentials alone are often 6 to 25 KB. The image data itself is copied byte for byte
My photo shows up rotated after cleaning. Why?
Some cameras store rotation in EXIF instead of rotating the pixels. Removing EXIF removes that flag too; rotate the image once in any editor before or after cleaning
How do I remove a visible watermark instead?
Use the Gemini watermark remover for the Gemini star logo, or the image watermark remover for other visible marks
