What this tool does

Images often carry more than pixels. Cameras and phones add EXIF fields such as date, device and GPS position. Editors add XMP and IPTC records. Some AI tools write prompts and generation settings into PNG text fields or add C2PA Content Credentials.

The tool reads your file, shows which of these blocks it contains and removes the ones you choose. The picture itself is not touched: the blocks are cut out of the file without decoding or re-encoding the image, so quality and colors stay the same.

How to use it

  1. Choose a photo or drop it into the upload area. Cleaning starts right away.
  2. Switch what to remove if you want: AI marks, or location and personal data.
  3. Download the cleaned image and check the summary.

Supported formats and what is removed

  • JPEG: EXIF, XMP, IPTC / Photoshop (APP13), C2PA / JUMBF (APP11) and comments. The ICC color profile is kept. The orientation tag is kept by default so photos are not rotated.
  • PNG: text chunks (tEXt, zTXt, iTXt), XMP, eXIf and the C2PA chunk (caBX). The color profile is kept.
  • WebP: EXIF, XMP and C2PA chunks. The color profile, alpha and animation data are kept.

Limits you should know about

  • AI marks are found in metadata only. If the metadata is already gone (for example, removed by a messenger such as Telegram), the file cannot tell whether the image is AI-made. Pixels are not analysed.
  • Invisible watermarks (for example SynthID) are part of the pixels, not metadata. They are not removed.
  • Removing metadata does not make an image undetectable as AI-generated, and this tool makes no such promise.
  • C2PA data is removed when it is stored inside the file in the standard places listed above. Content Credentials stored elsewhere, for example in the cloud, are outside the file and are not affected.
  • Each category is removed as a whole block. Removing only the GPS fields from EXIF is not supported.
  • Other formats, damaged files and files over 50 MB are rejected with an explanation instead of being changed.

Frequently asked questions

Does the tool upload my image?
No. The file is read and cleaned in your browser. It is never sent to a server.
Will removing metadata reduce image quality?
No. Metadata blocks are removed from the file without decoding the picture, so the pixels are exactly the same.
Does it remove C2PA Content Credentials?
It removes C2PA data stored inside JPEG, PNG and WebP files in their standard locations. After cleaning, the file is parsed again and the result tells you whether the selected categories are gone. Credentials kept outside the file are not affected.
Why does it say there are no AI marks when the photo is AI-made?
Marks are searched in metadata only. Telegram and many other services remove metadata when you send a file, so there is nothing left to find. It does not mean the image was made by a person.
Can it remove invisible AI watermarks such as SynthID?
No. Those watermarks live in the pixels, not in metadata, and this tool does not touch them.
Will the image look the same after cleaning?
Yes. The color profile is kept. For JPEG photos the orientation tag is kept as well, so they are not rotated.
Why was my file rejected?
Only JPEG, PNG and WebP files up to 50 MB are accepted. Damaged or unsupported files are rejected so that nothing is silently broken.
