Remove AI label signals from images
Platforms show a "Made with AI" label when they detect C2PA Content Credentials or IPTC AI-disclosure metadata in your image. RAIW strips those signals — free for metadata, paid for invisible pixel watermarks.
Choose your platform
Each platform has its own signals and detection behavior. Pick yours for a specific guide:
- Instagram AI label — usually removed; Meta also runs pixel classifiers
- Etsy AI disclosure — C2PA + IPTC; high commercial impact
- LinkedIn CR badge — C2PA only; reliably removed
- X / Twitter AI label — mostly metadata; removed in most cases
- Pinterest AI label — C2PA + pixel classifier; often removed
- TikTok AI label — C2PA + IPTC + AIGC metadata
- YouTube thumbnails — C2PA from thumbnail images only; video not supported
What triggers the AI label
Platforms use automated systems to detect generated images by reading embedded metadata. The two primary triggers are:
- C2PA Content Credentials - provenance manifests embedded by most AI image generators (ChatGPT, Adobe Firefly, Google Gemini, Canva AI)
- IPTC
digitalSourceType- an XMP field marking the image as algorithmically created or AI-edited
These triggers also fire for minor AI edits: a single Photoshop Generative Fill brushstroke marks the image as compositeWithTrainedAlgorithmicMedia, which still labels the image as AI.
What RAIW removes — and what it cannot
The free mode strips the C2PA Content Credentials manifest, the IPTC digitalSourceType field, and other AI provenance metadata — for free, no account required.
What we cannot do: some platforms (Instagram, Pinterest) also run a proprietary pixel-level classifier that operates independently of metadata. Stripping metadata does not disable that classifier. Competitors who claim to "bypass detection" are overclaiming.
The paid All-in-one mode disrupts invisible pixel watermarks (SynthID and similar) that some platform classifiers may also check — but no tool can guarantee a result against a closed, evolving classifier.
Processing and privacy
- Free: Metadata strip happens instantly on our backend at no cost.
- Data handling: We may keep uploaded files and results for up to 90 days to run and improve the service, then delete them; we never sell them.

Frequently asked questions
- What triggers the 'Made with AI' label on social platforms?
- The two primary triggers are C2PA Content Credentials — a signed manifest embedded by most AI image generators — and the IPTC digitalSourceType XMP field. This also applies to minor AI edits: Photoshop's Generative Fill marks images as 'compositeWithTrainedAlgorithmicMedia', which still triggers the label.
- Which platforms reliably remove the label after a metadata strip?
- LinkedIn is the cleanest case: it checks C2PA only, so the strip reliably removes the badge. X (Twitter) is similar. Instagram and Pinterest also run pixel-level classifiers independent of metadata — the label usually disappears after metadata removal, but is not guaranteed. See the per-platform guides for details.
- Does RAIW remove the label from Photoshop Generative Fill edits?
- Yes. Photoshop embeds a C2PA manifest marking the image as 'compositeWithTrainedAlgorithmicMedia', which triggers the label even for minor AI edits. RAIW strips that manifest, removing the label signal.
- Can RAIW guarantee the label will disappear?
- No. Metadata removal is definitive for the file — the signals are gone. But some platforms (Instagram, Pinterest) also run proprietary pixel classifiers that operate independently of metadata. Competitors who promise to 'bypass detection' are overclaiming. RAIW removes what can be removed and is honest about the limits.
- Is RAIW free?
- Removing the C2PA manifest, IPTC fields, and other AI metadata is completely free. The paid All-in-one mode also disrupts invisible pixel watermarks (SynthID and similar) that some platform classifiers may check.
No signup required. Visible and metadata removal always free. GPU modes cost $1.49 per image. Supports PNG, JPG, WebP, AVIF, and HEIC.
