Remove AI Metadata from Photoshop and Firefly Exports

Photoshop Generative Fill and Adobe Firefly can embed C2PA Content Credentials and related metadata. Learn how to strip those signals before sharing.

Why Adobe exports carry provenance

Adobe’s Content Credentials / C2PA pipeline is designed to document how an asset was made or edited. Generative Fill, Firefly, and related features may write manifests and XMP into the exported file by default.

That is useful for transparency workflows, and inconvenient when you only want a clean deliverable without those machine-readable labels traveling to social apps.

Export, then strip

Keep your master PSD or project file as-is. For sharing, export PNG, JPEG, or WebP, then run the export through a local metadata cleaner.

  • Export a standard web-friendly format (PNG, JPEG, or WebP).
  • Open Unmade AI and process the file in your browser.
  • Download the cleaned copy and upload that version to clients or social platforms. If Generative Fill was the trigger, see why Generative Fill adds Made with AI.

Honest limits

Unmade AI removes removable C2PA, EXIF, and XMP chunks when present. It does not remove visible generative watermarks or change pixel-level “AI detection.” Prefer HEIC/AVIF conversions to PNG/JPEG first if your export is in an unsupported format.
