How to use Remove AI Meta

Remove AI Meta inspects and strips image metadata in your browser: C2PA Content Credentials, AI provenance tags, EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC, and known generator text chunks. This page matches the live tool — every step was run with real sample files and captured as screenshots.

One image is free. Pro is $8.99 one-time (unlimited + ZIP). SynthID / TrustMark stay in the pixels. Platform AI labels are not guaranteed gone after a clean After report.

How to use Remove AI Meta on this page: drop a JPEG, PNG, or WebP, pick a mode, clean, and download the file the After report describes.

What it does

• Reads the file you drop and lists findings by category (C2PA, AI, GPS, EXIF, XMP, IPTC, other).
• Strips the categories your mode selected, then re-scans the cleaned bytes (After column).
• Downloads a cleaned still. The picture data is not rewritten for a marketing “AI wipe” — metadata leaves; pixels stay.

Supported formats and limits

• Accepted: JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC/HEIF, AVIF, GIF, TIFF, BMP (from the file picker accept list and byte sniffing).
• Not on the image tool: video (MP4, MOV, WebM). PDFs go to remove metadata from a PDF. Word and Office files go to remove metadata from a Word document.
• Size: browser decode can fail around ~100 megapixels; very large files may strip metadata without a preview.
• Quota: 1 free clean per browser (same file can be re-cleaned in-session without spending quota again). Pro unlocks unlimited cleans and one ZIP for a set.

Strip modes

Steps (with screenshots)

1. Dropzone. Open the home tool (or the tool below). Drop an image or use the file picker.

   

2. Inspect a camera JPEG with EXIF + GPS. We used a real Canon EOS R5 fixture with GPS 37.77472, −122.41917. Inspect only lists findings; the picture is unchanged.

   

3. Choose a mode. Segment control labels: All metadata · AI only · EXIF / GPS. The native select uses the longer names (Strip all / AI provenance / Privacy EXIF).

   

4. Clean and re-scan. Press Clean this file (or Clean one file free). Status becomes “Cleaned. N fields removed. Your picture is unchanged.” Download cleaned image appears.

   

   

5. AI PNG parameters. A PNG with Stable Diffusion-style parameters and DigitalSourceType text chunks reports under AI provenance (2 findings).

   

6. C2PA sample. The public sample JPEG carries C2PA / JUMBF (APP11), a C2PA pointer in XMP, AI provenance XMP, GPS, and EXIF — six findings before clean.

   

7. Paywall (do not pay to follow along). After the free clean, a second file is still cleaned in your browser. The download stays behind one button, Download — $8.99, and the line One-time · No signup · Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay.

   

Honest limits (SynthID, LinkedIn, platforms)

• SynthID / TrustMark: not removed. They are not EXIF or C2PA metadata.
• LinkedIn CR icon: file strip only helps the next upload. No live-post delete control.
• Instagram / Facebook / TikTok / Pinterest labels: metadata prep only. Classifiers and disclosures can still label a clean file.

Troubleshooting (messages from the live tool)

• Videos (MP4, MOV, WebM) aren't supported… — still images only; save a frame as JPEG/PNG.
• PDF files aren't supported… — export a page as an image first.
• This file doesn't look like a valid JPEG, PNG or WebP… — corrupt or mislabeled bytes.
• Your browser couldn't open this image… over roughly 100 megapixels… — re-export smaller.
• This HEIC/HEIF file is valid, but your browser couldn't decode it… — try Safari/Chrome desktop or export JPEG.
• File over 25 MB. Image too wide (max 12000px). Image too tall (max 12000px). Image exceeds 100 megapixels. — save a smaller JPEG and drop that file.
• Download — $8.99 with One-time · No signup · Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay: the free clean is used. Buy Pro or restore a purchase.
