AI metadata removal

Remove AI metadata from images

AI image generators can embed metadata that identifies their output. RAIW removes supported AI-provenance fields while preserving standard information such as Author and Copyright by default.

Metadata cleanup without pixel changes

When you generate an image, tools like ChatGPT Images 2.0 (gpt-image-2), DALL-E, Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, and xAI Grok embed hidden data fields into the file. These fields include EXIF AI tags, XMP DigitalSourceType, C2PA Content Credentials, and custom PNG text chunks.

Quick clean reads the file and removes supported AI-provenance fields. It normally preserves image pixels and dimensions; Standard output may resize a large image, and a container fallback may re-encode the file.

What is preserved?

Not all metadata is bad. Standard EXIF data (such as Author, Copyright, camera make, and lens information) is preserved by default. The tool produces a clean file that no longer carries signals linking it to an AI generator, but keeps the attribution you want.

Standard processing and privacy

Metadata stripping is a lightweight file operation.

  • Fully secure: This mode is processed quickly on our backend servers.
  • Data handling: Uploaded images and results currently have no automatic expiry. We retain them until they are no longer needed or we receive a valid deletion request that identifies them. We never sell them.

Frequently asked questions

Will stripping metadata change the image quality or dimensions?
Quick clean normally preserves the image pixels and dimensions while removing supported AI-provenance fields from the file container. Standard output may resize images above the free resolution limit, and a container fallback may re-encode the file. Choose Original resolution when dimensions must stay unchanged.
Is standard EXIF data preserved?
Yes. Standard EXIF fields like Author, Copyright, and Camera data are retained by default. Only AI-specific provenance tags are targeted.
Are PNG text chunks, XMP, and C2PA all removed?
Yes. The tool strips custom PNG text chunks (often used by Stable Diffusion), XMP DigitalSourceType attributes, and C2PA Content Credentials manifests.
What does "metadata cleanup" actually mean in practice?
In practice, it means taking a file that broadcasts its AI origin to detection tools, and returning a standard image file that simply contains image data and standard attribution.
