AI Metadata Remover

Inspect, clean and verify what your images reveal.

See the GPS location, device details, C2PA Content Credentials and AI prompts hidden in a photo or AI image, remove them, and get a report that re-checks the clean copy. Honest about limits: invisible watermarks like SynthID stay in the pixels.

WHAT IT FINDS AND REMOVES

The data that travels with your files

BlankAI walks the actual structure of each file, reports what it finds, and writes a new copy that contains only pixels.

GPS

GPS and location

Coordinates, altitude and direction that phones write into every photo taken with location on.

EXIF

EXIF device data

Camera and phone model, lens, serial numbers, capture time and software.

C2PA

C2PA Content Credentials

Signed manifests from ChatGPT, Gemini, Adobe Firefly, Microsoft Copilot and cameras that record how a file was made.

XMP

XMP and IPTC

Editing history, captions, credits and the IPTC digital source type that marks images as AI-generated or AI-edited.

AI

Prompts and workflows

Stable Diffusion parameters, ComfyUI node graphs, and prompts written into EXIF by FLUX and Midjourney.

PNG

PNG, WebP and AVIF chunks

tEXt, iTXt and eXIf chunks in PNG, EXIF and XMP chunks in WebP, and metadata items in AVIF and HEIC.

CHECK

Output re-scan

After cleaning, BlankAI scans the new file for the same containers and tells you if anything survived.

FMT

Format kept

PNG stays lossless with transparency, WebP stays WebP. JPEG quality is yours to choose.

HONEST LIMITS

What an AI metadata remover can and cannot do

In 2026 most large AI services mark images in more than one layer. Metadata is the layer a cleaner can remove, and it is where personal details like your location and prompts live. Watermarks in the pixels stay, and so do platform rules on disclosure.

HOW IT WORKS

How BlankAI removes AI metadata

Everything runs in your browser tab. A typical photo takes well under a second; large HEIC files take a little longer to decode.

01

Scan the original

BlankAI reads the file's own structure (JPEG segments, PNG and WebP chunks, HEIC and AVIF items) and lists every metadata block it finds.

02

Redraw the pixels

The image is decoded and drawn onto a canvas. A canvas holds pixels only, so no metadata container can come along.

03

Encode a fresh file

The canvas is saved as a new file in the format you chose. PNG stays lossless; JPEG and WebP use the quality you set.

04

Re-scan the output

The new file is scanned again. The report tells you it is clean, or exactly what is left.

WHO IT IS FOR

Control what your files say about you

Sharing photos privately

Remove GPS and device details before sending photos by email, cloud links, marketplaces or messaging apps that keep metadata.

Photographers and retouchers

See whether a small AI fix wrote an AI label into your export, and decide what to keep before you post.

AI artists

Keep your prompts, seeds, workflows and username out of the files you share, while keeping your originals.

Social media managers

Check what each platform will read from a file, including C2PA and IPTC signals, before scheduling posts.

Designers and agencies

Hand clients clean deliverables without editing histories, file paths or tool metadata from your pipeline.

Journalists and researchers

Inspect provenance locally. BlankAI shows what a manifest mentions without sending the file anywhere.
