Remove Metadata from AI Images

Remove Metadata from Any AI Image
This tool strips all embedded metadata from AI-generated images, including EXIF data and C2PA (Content Credentials) that identify images as AI-generated.
Platform-Specific Guides
How This Tool Works
This tool uses your browser’s built-in Canvas API to process images. When you upload an image:
- The file is read entirely in your browser
- It’s drawn to an HTML canvas element
- The canvas exports a new image file
This process inherently strips all metadata because the Canvas API only preserves pixel data, not file metadata. Your images never leave your device.
Why Remove AI Image Metadata?
- Privacy: Metadata can reveal information about when, how, and by whom an image was created
- Compatibility: Some platforms reject images with AI provenance markers
- File size: Stripping metadata reduces file size
- Personal projects: Use AI images for creative work without origin markers
About AI Image Filenames
AI platforms often use distinctive filename patterns that reveal the image source—like DALL·E 2024-01-15... from ChatGPT or username_prompt_hash.png from Midjourney. Even after stripping metadata, sharing a file with these names can identify its AI origin.
Enable “Use generic filenames” above to rename your downloads to neutral names like img_k9m_1.png. Each batch gets a unique identifier so files won’t overwrite previous downloads.
