Free AI metadata cleaner

Remove AI detection metadata from images

Remove the AI records platforms read, such as Content Credentials, AI tags and prompts, before you upload. It can't change pixel detectors or SynthID.

  • C2PA credentials
  • IPTC AI tags
  • PNG prompts

Supported embedded metadata through a full image clean.

Can you remove AI detection from an image?

You can remove the metadata part. Pixel detection is different.

Platforms spot AI images in two ways. They read metadata like C2PA Content Credentials and IPTC AI tags, and some also run their own visual classifiers.

This tool handles the first one. It makes a clean copy of the image without its supported metadata, so the file no longer carries the tags a platform reads.

It does not change how the image looks, so it cannot change what a visual detector or an invisible watermark like SynthID says.

What gets detected, and what this changes

What gets detected, and what this changes
Metadata (C2PA, IPTC AI tags, prompts)Removed by this tool
Invisible watermark (SynthID)Not changed: use the SynthID removal flow
Pixel-based AI detectorsNot changed: they look at the image itself

How to prepare an image for upload

Check, clean, check again.

  1. Check the original

    Run the AI metadata checker to see what the file carries.

  2. Make a clean copy

    Upload here and download the copy without supported metadata.

  3. Check the copy

    Confirm the AI tags are gone before you upload it.

What this can and cannot change

Be clear about the limits before you rely on it.

Follow each platform’s disclosure rules. Removing metadata does not change what you are required to disclose.

JPG, PNG and WebP still images. Up to 30 files, 15 MB each. Images up to 50 megapixels; animated PNG and WebP are not supported. Free, no account.

Examples

What a clean copy changes, file by file.

ChatGPT image

chatgpt-image.png

The C2PA credential and other supported metadata come off the copy.

Edited photo

The composite AI source tag comes off. The edit itself is still visible in the picture.

Gemini image

Metadata comes off, but SynthID stays in the pixels. This tool cannot change that.

Nothing to remove. You can still download a checked copy.

Remove AI detection from image: common questions

Answers about results, privacy and limits.

Will Instagram or Facebook still add an AI label?

They read the C2PA and IPTC tags this removes, but they can still label content from invisible watermarks or other signals, and their disclosure rules apply.

Does this beat AI image detectors?

No. Detectors analyse the pixels, which this does not change.

Does it reduce quality?

The copy is re-encoded. For no re-encoding, use the C2PA remover or the AI-only metadata remover.

Does this remove SynthID or other invisible watermarks?

No. SynthID is part of the pixels, not the metadata, so no metadata tool can remove it. Use the SynthID removal flow on the homepage for that.

Will this remove the AI Info label on Instagram?

It removes the C2PA and IPTC signals Meta reads. Meta can still label content based on other signals or your own disclosure.

Can I remove a label from a post that is already up?

No. The platform keeps its own copy. Delete the post and upload a cleaned copy if that fits its rules.

Does this beat AI detectors?

No. Visual detectors look at the pixels, which this tool does not change.

Is it free? Do I need an account?

Yes. It is free, with no account, credits or trial. The file and batch limits are shown on the upload box.

Do my files leave my device?

No. Files are read in your browser. Save your results before you clear the batch or leave the page.
