How it works
Drop, remove, download
Three steps, no account. The download keeps full quality and loses its AI metadata.
01
Drop
Drop an AI image. The Advanced panel is open at quality 100 with both Remove boxes ticked.
02
Remove
Nothing to press. To keep camera data, untick Remove EXIF metadata before you drop. A HEIC keeps none.
03
Download
The file keeps its format at full quality (a HEIC comes back as JPG), with no AI tag or C2PA.
What AI metadata is in my image?
An AI image can carry your prompt, your workflow and an account ID, not only a label. We made one image with each of 8 AI tools on 24 October 2026, from one prompt, and read every file. ChatGPT’s PNG holds a 23.7 KB C2PA manifest signed by OpenAI Media Service. Its actions include c2pa.watermarked.unbound: OpenAI’s own record that the pixels carry a watermark too. Google’s manifest from Gemini names SynthID: “Applied imperceptible SynthID watermark.” ComfyUI saved the prompt (2.2 KB) and the whole workflow graph (17.1 KB) in the PNG, so anyone with the file can load your workflow. Meta AI wrote a made-by-AI tag into XMP and a Facebook ID into IPTC. Prompts, workflows and IDs say more about you than the picture does.
Why a real photo can come back marked as AI
An AI edit can mark a photo you took yourself. Generative Fill in Photoshop can add Content Credentials and an AI source type to the file you export. A platform that reads those fields may then call the whole picture AI-made. Removing the AI metadata takes the file-level marker off; what you say about the edit is still your call.
How do I remove AI metadata from an image?
Drop it and download. The Advanced panel opens at quality 100 with Remove EXIF metadata and Remove AI image metadata both ticked, so every field below goes. We ran all 8 files through the engine twice: with the defaults, and with Remove EXIF metadata unticked. No AI field was left in either run.

Source: one test file per AI tool, each carrying the real metadata of an image we made with that tool on 24 October 2026. Saved by our engine at quality 100 in its own format. Gone means the reader found no trace of the field in the download.
How we tested: each test file is a 64 × 64 picture carrying the metadata of one of our own AI images, copied byte for byte. Our engine (version 10, sharp 0.35.5) saved each file, and a script read the C2PA store, the XMP, the IPTC and the PNG text of every input and every download. We had no Midjourney, Adobe Firefly or Stable Diffusion file to test. How we measure names the sources and the settings.
Remove the AI tag, keep your camera data
Untick Remove EXIF metadata and the camera make, the date, GPS and copyright stay with the file, with a standard sRGB colour profile. A HEIC keeps none of its camera data: our engine reads only its pixels. Remove AI image metadata stays ticked, so the AI fields still go: in that run the Meta AI file kept neither its made-by-AI tag nor its Facebook ID. Untick both boxes to keep the AI tag as well. Content Credentials never survive compressing, because the signature covers the original bytes. For camera metadata alone, the remove EXIF data page shows what a photo carries and how to strip it.
What this cannot remove
Metadata is the part of a file you can delete. Some AI marks live in the pixels or outside the file, and no metadata remover reaches them.
SynthID and other pixel watermarks
Google's SynthID sits in the pixels and is made to survive crops, filters and compression. Meta's invisible watermark and C2PA soft-binding marks such as TrustMark and Digimarc work the same way, and a soft-binding mark can lead a reader back to the original manifest, kept online. Blinkimg never changes pixels to defeat one.
Labels from a platform's own checks
Meta and TikTok also label posts from their own detection, not only from metadata. A file with no AI fields can still get a label.
Your own disclosure
TikTok asks creators to label realistic AI content, and Meta asks people to disclose realistic AI video and audio. Platform rules on AI disclosure still apply to you. Removing metadata does not change how an image was made.
Developers get the same default: every job through the developer API removes AI metadata unless stripAiMetadata is set to false. Related: Remove EXIF data · Image tools
Questions, answered
Short answers specific to this tool. Try it above and the editor settles the rest.
Q:Does this remove SynthID?
No. SynthID is a watermark Google puts in the pixels themselves, made to survive crops, filters and compression. A metadata remover leaves the pixels alone, so SynthID stays in the picture. The Content Credentials in our Gemini test file say "Applied imperceptible SynthID watermark." The download loses that record, not the mark it describes.
Q:Will Instagram still label my image?
It can. Meta says it labels images from industry signals such as C2PA and IPTC metadata, from its own detection, and from the AI info setting you turn on when you post. Removing the metadata takes away the signals inside the file, not the other two. A file with no AI fields can still be labelled.
Q:Is my camera EXIF kept?
Not by default. Remove EXIF metadata starts ticked, so the download carries no camera make, date, GPS or XMP. Untick it in the Advanced panel before you drop the file to keep them; a HEIC keeps none. Remove AI image metadata stays ticked, so the AI tool name, the made-by-AI tag and Meta's Facebook ID still go.
Q:What is C2PA?
C2PA, from the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity, is the open standard behind Content Credentials: a signed record, stored in the file, of which tool made an image and how it changed. Our ChatGPT, Gemini and Ideogram files each carried one. The signature covers the original bytes, so no re-encoded copy can keep a valid one.
Q:Does it lower quality?
The download is re-encoded once at quality 100, the highest setting, in the format you dropped, and a HEIC comes back as JPG. A PNG keeps every pixel. A JPG, WebP or AVIF at 100 is close to the original but a fresh encode, usually larger than the file you dropped. Lower the Quality slider when size matters more.
Q:Is it free?
Yes. There is no signup, no account and no charge, and the same daily allowance as every tool on the site counts beside the tool. Drop up to 50 images in one run and get one ZIP back. We keep nothing: files are processed and wiped automatically. The developer API removes AI metadata by default too.
