Remove AI metadata from images
AI image generators embed hidden metadata tags that identify their output. RAIW strips all of these AI-related fields while keeping standard information like Author and Copyright. The actual pixels are completely untouched.
Metadata cleanup without pixel changes
When you generate an image, tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney, and Adobe Firefly embed hidden data fields into the file. These fields include EXIF AI tags, XMP DigitalSourceType, C2PA Content Credentials, and custom PNG text chunks.
RAIW's metadata mode reads your file and strips only these specific AI provenance fields. Because this process only modifies the file container, the visual content of your image is never altered.
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 & privacy
Metadata stripping is a lightweight file operation.
- 100% secure: This mode is processed quickly without saving your data permanently.
- Private: We immediately delete your image after processing.
- Free: Because it requires no GPU computation, it is completely free to use.

Frequently asked questions
- Will stripping metadata change the image quality or dimensions?
- No. Stripping metadata only edits the hidden text fields in the file container. The pixels, colors, and dimensions are completely 100% preserved.
- 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.
