C2PA Remover: How to Remove C2PA from an Image
Free C2PA remover for images (and video via our MP4/MOV guide). Learn how to remove C2PA Content Credentials and strip AI provenance metadata in your browser.
What is C2PA / Content Credentials?
A C2PA remover targets Content Credentials (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) embedded in image files. Adobe and other tools often write these manifests so apps can read editing history or generative tool names.
Those records can note editing history, generative tools, or software names. Social apps and viewers may surface labels such as “Made with AI” or “AI info” when they find that metadata, not only when pixels look synthetic. For Instagram specifically, see why Instagram shows Made with AI and how to remove AI Info.
Where C2PA lives in common formats
Removable C2PA data is stored in container metadata, not as a visible watermark on the picture:
- JPEG: APP11 / JUMBF segments that carry C2PA manifests
- PNG: chunks such as caBX (and related provenance text)
- WebP: RIFF chunks that hold C2PA or JUMBF payloads
How to remove C2PA (C2PA remover workflow)
To remove C2PA from an image, strip the removable Content Credentials chunks in a local tool. Unmade AI is a free C2PA remover for PNG, JPEG, and WebP that runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to our servers.
- Open Unmade AI and drop your image (or choose multiple files).
- Wait for local processing. Each file shows which metadata tags were removed.
- Download the cleaned file before uploading to Instagram, X, LinkedIn, or elsewhere. Platform-specific walkthroughs: Instagram AI Info, LinkedIn CR badge, X / Twitter. For MP4/MOV, see remove AI metadata from video.
What this does not do
Removing metadata does not erase visible watermarks, and it cannot guarantee how a platform will classify an image. Some services also use non-metadata signals.
Use Unmade AI for metadata hygiene and privacy on files you are allowed to modify and share.
