How do I remove AI metadata from an image for free?

Open Unmade AI in your browser, drop a PNG, JPEG, or WebP into the drop zone, then download the cleaned copy only when metadata was removed. C2PA Content Credentials, EXIF, and XMP are stripped locally—no upload to our servers, no account, and no tracking.

What is C2PA metadata and why remove it?

C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) embeds “Content Credentials” in a file so apps can read who created or edited it—including AI tools. Social networks use that signal for “Made with AI” style labels. Unmade AI removes embedded C2PA / JUMBF-style payloads in PNG, JPEG, and WebP when they appear in the file.

Do Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter/X all show AI labels from metadata?

Yes—many large platforms read the same kinds of embedded provenance (C2PA, EXIF software fields, XMP). Instagram is the label people quote most often, but LinkedIn, X (Twitter), Facebook, TikTok, and others can surface similar “AI generated” or “AI info” notices when that metadata is present. Stripping metadata before upload removes that signal for apps that rely on file metadata (not on pixels alone). Platforms may still run separate classifiers.

How do I remove EXIF data from images before posting?

EXIF can store camera model, GPS, timestamps, and software strings. Unmade AI strips EXIF and XMP in your browser when those chunks exist, without changing visible pixels—useful when you want a smaller metadata footprint or fewer “edited in …” clues before you publish.

Why does Instagram show “Made with AI” on my photo?

Most “Made with AI” or “AI info” labels come from embedded metadata (especially C2PA from Photoshop Generative Fill, Lightroom, Firefly, or ChatGPT image export), not from visible pixels alone. Removing that metadata before upload often removes the label on platforms that read the file’s credentials—Instagram, LinkedIn, X, and others included where they rely on the same signals.

How do I remove the “Made with AI” label before uploading?

Export or save your image, run it through Unmade AI to strip C2PA / EXIF / XMP, download the cleaned file, then upload that version. This is the same workflow people use for Instagram, LinkedIn, X, Facebook, or TikTok when the warning comes from file metadata rather than platform-side detection.

Does Unmade AI upload my images?

No. Processing runs entirely in your browser. Your bytes never leave your device for Unmade AI, and we do not use accounts or analytics on this flow.

Which image formats does Unmade AI support?

PNG, JPEG/JPG, and WebP. HEIC, AVIF, or RAW may be added later; convert to PNG or JPEG first if you need to clean metadata today.

Will removing metadata change how my image looks?

Unmade AI targets metadata chunks (C2PA, EXIF, XMP, related PNG chunks). Visible pixels stay the same in normal cases. It does not remove visible watermarks or invisible pixel-level fingerprints, and we cannot promise every platform will never classify an image as AI.

What it does

Strip metadata beforeyou hit publish.

Unmade AI is a free, browser-based image metadata cleaner for PNG, JPEG, and WebP. Everything runs on your device: no upload to our servers, no account, and no tracking.

It removes removable AI metadata from your files—C2PA Content Credentials, EXIF fields, and XMP records—so downstream apps no longer read those signals. Pixel data stays intact in the planned lossless pipeline.

That matters when social apps surface labels such as “Made with AI” from metadata left by tools like Photoshop Generative Fill, Lightroom, or Firefly—not necessarily from the image pixels alone.

C2PA & Content Credentials
Remove embedded manifests so apps no longer read Content Credentials or provenance claims in your PNG, JPEG, or WebP.
EXIF & XMP
Clear camera, software, and sidecar metadata—typical sources of “Made with AI” signals alongside C2PA.
Private by design
Runs in your browser: no upload to Unmade AI, no account, and no tracking.

Local only
Your files stay on your device. Processing runs in your browser—nothing is uploaded to Unmade AI.
Metadata scope
We remove removable metadata—C2PA Content Credentials, EXIF, and XMP—when those chunks exist in your PNG, JPEG, or WebP.
Honest limits
We do not strip visible watermarks or guarantee how a platform classifies an image. Use it only on content you may modify and share.
