How to Remove AI Metadata from an Image
AI metadata is information stored alongside image pixels. It may include a generator name, a prompt, a seed or editing software details. Remove AI Detection From Image lets you inspect supported metadata blocks and remove selected blocks locally, without re-encoding the picture.

The result depends on what is present in the file. A PNG may contain generation parameters in text chunks. A JPEG or WebP may carry software or provenance information in EXIF or XMP. A missing prompt does not prove that an image was made without AI; the file may never have included one.
Remove AI Detection From Image shows common EXIF fields and text previews. Some application blocks are listed as binary data rather than interpreted field by field. Select only the blocks you intend to remove: a block can also contain copyright, author or capture information.
Remove AI metadata in your browser
Use the free tool on the homepage. The current version handles one JPEG, PNG or WebP file at a time, up to 25 MB.
- Choose your original image and expand “View information” for each detected block.
- Review software tags, text and generation parameters when present. Choose the blocks to remove.
- Click Clean. The tool creates a separate copy and checks that the result can be decoded.
- Inspect the remaining metadata, then download the copy. Your original file is not overwritten.
Does removing metadata stop AI detection?
No detector outcome is guaranteed. This tool edits the file container; it does not change the image pixels. Pixel-based detection and embedded invisible watermarks are separate from EXIF or XMP metadata.
For example, Google describes SynthID as a watermark embedded in generated content. This metadata cleaner does not remove SynthID. It also cannot promise to change a platform’s AI label or remove information already stored by another service.
Verify the copy before sharing
Reopen the downloaded copy and inspect it again. A remaining orientation-only EXIF block is intentional: it helps keep the picture displayed in the same direction. Color profiles are retained as well.
The inspector supports specific metadata structures, not every possible field or container. Unknown PNG chunks are retained. Embedded content credentials may become invalid after provenance information is removed. Keep your original when attribution or provenance matters.
