How to Inspect, Clean, and Verify Your Image
Choose your images once. We check, clean and verify them automatically, then show what changed before you download.
Clean
Supported AI workflow and privacy fields are cleaned automatically, along with embedded PNG Content Credentials.
Verify
We scan the new copy again, so you can see what was removed and what stayed.
Download
Save a separate copy after reviewing the verification report. Your original file stays untouched.
What the scan tells you
What This AI Metadata Cleaner Can Remove
Remove recognized generation fields such as prompts, node workflows, model settings, seeds, and samplers from supported JPEG and PNG structures. These fields may reveal how an image was made. A software name or C2PA record alone does not prove AI generation. Mixed or unsupported metadata can remain; check the result before sharing.

Supported Formats and Cleaning Options
Inspection and removal have different limits. This table describes the options currently available in the workspace.
JPEG metadata that mixes workflow details with attribution or camera fields may be preserved. Compressed PNG text that cannot be inspected safely also stays in place. Supported does not mean every field in every file.
Read the PNG cleaner limitationsTry the built-in sample
What Changes—and What Stays
The safe sample is a one-pixel PNG with a parameters field containing steps=30, seed=42, and sampler=euler. It is a test file, not a customer result.
Before cleaning
The scanner finds one AI generation parameters field. Choose “Try a safe sample” above to see automatic cleaning and its result.
After automatic cleaning
The supported parameters text chunk is removed. The PNG image data stays unchanged; the tool scans the new copy and checks that it can still be opened.
For your own files
Results depend on the format and fields present. Supported private EXIF fields are removed by default. Copyright, orientation, and color data stay. Review unresolved findings instead of assuming the whole file is metadata-free.
For a field-by-field explanation, read the workflow metadata article. To check a downloaded copy, use the Image Metadata Checker.

Check location and device details
Check whether your image contains GPS or device details before sharing it. Automatic cleaning removes supported EXIF location and device fields from a copy. Review unresolved metadata before sharing.What the tool can do
Metadata is only one part of an image
We can inspectSupported metadata inside JPEG, PNG, and WebP files.
We can cleanSupported AI workflow and privacy fields in JPEG and PNG, without re-encoding the image data. Default Content Credentials removal applies to PNG caBX records only.
We cannot promiseA particular detector result, platform approval, or pixel-watermark removal. Visual repair is not ready yet.
For background on provenance, see the official C2PA and Content Credentials explainer. Finding an embedded record is different from validating its signature or checking an external provenance history.

AI metadata cleaning: the safe sample before and after
Choose “Try a safe sample” in the cleaner above. These results describe that synthetic one-pixel PNG with the default settings.
Your files can contain different or unsupported fields. A result marked partial needs review; an unchanged result means no supported data needed cleaning. Reopen the downloaded copy in the Metadata Checker for an additional check.

Quick answers
Questions About AI Metadata Removal
Which image formats can I clean?+
Automatic cleaning removes supported generation and privacy fields from JPEG and PNG files. WebP is inspection-only. Not every metadata field is supported, so review the verification report before sharing the result.
Does the image leave my browser?+
No. Scanning, cleaning, verification, and downloads happen in your browser. The tool does not upload your image or its filename, and no account is required.
Can I remove GPS and EXIF data?+
Default cleaning removes supported GPS, capture dates, device identifiers, MakerNotes and JPEG thumbnails. Copyright and orientation stay. Unsupported fields may remain; review the result.
Will this lower image quality?+
For supported files, cleaning does not decode or re-encode the image data. The tool scans the output again and checks that the browser can read it before offering a download. Keep your original and review the copy.
Can I remove Content Credentials?+
Embedded PNG caBX Content Credentials are removed by default. Open Cleaning settings to keep them. JPEG and WebP credentials cannot be removed. Removing an embedded record does not erase external provenance records.
Does removing metadata make an image undetectable?+
No. Metadata is only one signal. Platforms may also use pixels, watermarks, provenance records, or signals this tool cannot access. A cleaned copy does not guarantee a detector result or platform approval.
How can I verify the cleaned copy?+
Read the verification card after cleaning to see what was removed, preserved, or left unresolved. You can also open the downloaded copy in the metadata checker and scan it again. A completed download does not mean every metadata field was removed.
Are there file or batch limits?+
Each file can be up to 25 MB. The desktop workspace accepts up to 30 files and 200 MB per batch; narrower mobile layouts accept up to 10 files and 100 MB. Processing time depends on your device and files.
