Remove C2PA Content Credentials from images

Technical owner for C2PA manifests: JPEG APP11 / JUMBF, PNG caBX, WebP credential chunks, and Content Credentials XMP. Inspect the file, strip the manifest, verify the cleaned bytes — all in the browser.

Metadata-only. Not SynthID / TrustMark removal. Platform AI labels are not guaranteed gone after cleaning.

What we strip

C2PA (Content Credentials) is a Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity spec. Tools store a signed manifest beside the pixels. Remove AI Meta rewrites the container so those boxes and pointers are gone from JPEG, PNG, and WebP. That is a different job from remove AI metadata in general language, and from Instagram AI Info which is the social-product framing of the same class of tags.

Where metadata lives (MVP formats)

Format C2PA / Content Credentials EXIF / GPS AI text / XMP
JPEG APP11 / JUMBF segments; XMP pointers APP1 Exif APP1 XMP; IPTC APP13
PNG caBX chunk eXIf tEXt / iTXt / zTXt (e.g. parameters)
WebP C2PA / caBX-class RIFF chunks EXIF chunk XMP chunk

What each strip mode removes

Mode Removes Keeps (typical)
AI provenance (default) C2PA/JUMBF, Content Credentials XMP, AI DigitalSourceType, known AI PNG text Ordinary camera EXIF when it is not AI/C2PA-linked
Privacy EXIF GPS, device/camera EXIF, common IPTC (+ C2PA by default) Pixels only — privacy-first pass
Strip all All detected EXIF / XMP / IPTC / C2PA categories in the report Image payload / structural chunks

Honest SynthID boundary

SynthID / TrustMark / soft-binding watermarks are not ordinary EXIF or C2PA metadata. Remove AI Meta does not claim pixel-watermark removal, “undetectable AI”, or guaranteed platform AI-label erasure. If Instagram still shows AI Info after a clean verify pass, the signal was not (only) file metadata.

HEIC/HEIF: not shipped client-side yet. Export to JPEG / PNG / WebP first — we will not fake HEIC support.

What we will not claim

A stripped file can still contain pixel watermarks. Camera EXIF is a separate privacy pass — remove EXIF and GPS if that is the job. We never claim “undetectable AI”. Competitors that blur C2PA with SynthID (common on aimetadatacleaner / removeailabel-style pages) are selling a different product.

Report you should expect

After Clean & verify, the After panel re-scans the cleaned bytes with category groups (C2PA, AI, XMP…). C2PA chips should clear when the manifest lived in a path we rewrite — MetaStrip / Vaultaire-level readability without overselling detector evasion.
