Prepare photos for a Bluesky post

Check the image file you plan to share in your next post.

Supported stored metadata through image re-encoding.

A finished file. A reviewed copy.

Prepare the exact asset you intend to use.

Choose the Bluesky file
Finish each photo in a multi-image post before checking its supported metadata.
Review what changes
Read the supported findings before cleaning. A full clean removes supported camera, location, editing and provenance records. Use GPS-only cleaning when you need to retain other camera settings.
Inspect the downloaded copy
Inspect every finished image and keep your accessibility description separate from file metadata.

Know the output before you start.

This workspace accepts JPG, PNG, and WebP still images. Up to 30 files, 15 MB each, and no more than 50 megapixels. Animated PNG and WebP are rejected.

JPG, PNG, and WebP stay in the same format. The copy is re-encoded, so compression and color can change. A HEIC still uses the separate HEIC cleaner. A video uses the video cleaner. This workspace does not extract frames from a video.

JPG, PNG, WebP: New copy in the same image format
HEIC / HEIF: Use the HEIC cleaner
MP4 / MOV: Use the separate video workspace

Keep: The original and any project or attribution record you need

Before your next export or upload.

Answers for this destination.

Which Bluesky file should I choose?

Finish each photo in a multi-image post before checking its supported metadata.

What should I check after preparing my Bluesky image?

Inspect every finished image and keep your accessibility description separate from file metadata.

Will this change an existing Bluesky post?

No. This tool creates a local file copy. It cannot change a published post, an account setting or a platform decision. Keep required disclosures and review the platform’s rules.

Does a clean metadata report prove an image is not AI-generated?

No. Metadata can be absent, edited or forged. Cleaning stored fields does not remove invisible watermarks, erase visible text or logos, establish authenticity, or guarantee how a platform labels an upload.
