Does this actually work on Facebook and Instagram?

Yes — Meta's AI label is triggered by C2PA / IPTC 'digitalSourceType' tags in the file. Once those bytes are gone, there is nothing left in the file itself for the platform to detect. Meta may still label an image if it is a known viral AI picture matched by their own classifier, but the automatic metadata-based label is bypassed.

What exactly does it remove?

Everything that lives in metadata: EXIF (camera model, GPS, timestamps), XMP (Adobe / editor tags including AI provenance), IPTC (Photoshop / caption data), and C2PA JUMBF manifests. Color profiles (ICC) are preserved so the image still looks right.

Is the image re-compressed or does it lose quality?

No. The tool rewrites the file's metadata segments only — the actual image data (JPEG scans, PNG IDAT, WebP VP8) is copied byte-for-byte. There is zero quality loss.

Is my image uploaded anywhere?

No. The stripping runs entirely in your browser. Your image never touches a server.

Which formats are supported?

JPG / JPEG, PNG, and WebP. This covers ~99% of images shared online. HEIC is not supported directly — convert it to JPG first with the HEIC → JPG tool.

Is removing AI metadata legal?

In most jurisdictions, yes — metadata is not the image itself. Some platforms' terms of service may require disclosure of AI-generated content regardless of metadata. Check the rules of the platform you are posting to.

What people use it for

Post AI-generated art on Facebook or Instagram without the 'Made with AI' tag.
Share a Midjourney or DALL·E render on LinkedIn without the AI Info label.
Remove GPS coordinates from a photo before uploading it publicly.
Strip camera model, serial number, and shot timestamps for privacy.
Clean IPTC / Photoshop editing history out of a client deliverable.
Sanitize screenshots or renders before sending them to a client.

If you have been looking for a way to remove AI metadata from an image, strip C2PA from a picture, or hide the 'Made with AI' label on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, this is the tool. It rewrites JPG, PNG, and WebP files to remove every metadata segment — including the C2PA / JUMBF provenance manifests embedded by DALL·E, Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, and other generators — while leaving the pixel data completely untouched.

Social platforms detect AI-generated images by reading the file's C2PA content credentials and IPTC digitalSourceType tag. Once those bytes are gone, the automatic detection has nothing to latch onto. The tool also strips EXIF (camera model, GPS location, timestamps), XMP (editor tags, Photoshop history), and IPTC data, so the output is a clean, anonymous image with the exact same visual quality as the source.

Everything runs locally in your browser through a byte-level parser — no re-encoding, no server round-trip, no signup. That makes it safe for confidential renders, client work, and personal photos you would rather not upload to a random metadata-cleaner website.

How it works

1
Drop your image
Add a JPG, PNG, or WebP file. Pro users can drop a whole batch at once.
2
We strip the metadata locally
A browser-side parser walks the file's segments and removes EXIF, XMP, IPTC, and C2PA / JUMBF chunks byte-for-byte.
3
Download the clean image
The output has identical pixels, no metadata, and no visible watermark. Post it anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

C2PA (Content Provenance and Authenticity) is a metadata standard backed by Adobe, Microsoft, OpenAI, and others. Image generators like DALL·E, Midjourney, and Adobe Firefly embed a signed C2PA manifest that identifies the picture as AI-made. Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok read that manifest and add an 'AI Info' or 'Made with AI' label. Stripping it removes the signal those platforms use to label your image.
