This removes supported embedded metadata. It does not remove invisible watermarks or guarantee a different AI detector result or platform label.
AT A GLANCE
Does removing C2PA metadata remove AI detection?
No. Quiet Media Tools removes supported embedded AI metadata and C2PA manifest containers. It does not remove invisible watermarks, verify authenticity, erase external provenance records or guarantee a different AI detector result or platform label. Metadata removal and AI detection are different tasks.
- Images
- Still JPG, PNG and WebP to PNG; 20 MiB; 4,096 pixels per side
- Audio and video
- Supported descriptive container tags; 64 MiB input
- Privacy
- Selected files are processed locally; no account required
Platforms may use signals beyond embedded metadata. Keep your original if you need its credentials or editing history. Read the method and limits.

FROM FILE TO CLEAN COPY
Remove AI metadata in three steps.
Clean it locally
Images become a fresh PNG without embedded metadata. Supported audio and video tracks are copied into a cleaned container.
Download your copy
Save the result once the checks finish. Keep your original if you need its credentials, color profile, subtitles or artwork.
KNOW WHAT CHANGES
Embedded metadata, format by format.
Images: AI metadata and C2PA
JPG, PNG and WebP are decoded, redrawn and exported as PNG. Optional metadata is discarded, including embedded C2PA manifests, EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC and color profiles. AI prompts or generator details stored in those metadata fields are removed. Visible pixels and pixel-based watermarks remain.
Audio: descriptive tags
MP3, M4A, WAV and FLAC lose supported titles, artist names, comments and artwork. The encoded audio stays intact. The cleaner does not remove signals or metadata embedded inside the encoded audio itself.
Video: supported container metadata
MP4, MOV and WebM retain their encoded picture and sound. Supported descriptive tags, chapters and optional metadata are removed, including supported embedded C2PA UUID boxes in MP4/MOV. Required playback data, timing and orientation remain. Subtitles and timed-data tracks are omitted.
Images must be 4,096 pixels per side or smaller. Animation, encrypted media and unsupported codecs are rejected. Read the complete removal scope.
Is this an AI detection remover?
It is an AI metadata remover. It removes supported embedded fields and credentials; it does not change how the media was made, prove human authorship, rewrite text, or guarantee a different AI detection score.
What are C2PA Content Credentials?
Content Credentials are signed provenance records that can describe a file's origin and editing history. They can accompany camera captures as well as AI-generated media, so their presence alone does not mean a file is AI-generated. This cleaner removes supported embedded copies without validating their signatures. Read the C2PA FAQ.
Will this remove Instagram or other platform AI labels?
That cannot be guaranteed. A platform can use signals beyond embedded metadata, including disclosures and watermarks. Cleaning a local file also does not edit an existing social media post. See Meta's explanation of AI labeling.
Does it remove invisible AI watermarks?
No. Watermarks can be embedded in the image pixels, audio or video signal itself. For example, Google's SynthID image watermark is designed to remain detectable when file metadata is lost. How SynthID works.
Can credentials still be found after removal?
Potentially. Content fingerprints or invisible watermarks can reconnect media with externally stored credentials. Removing an embedded manifest does not delete those external records. Learn about durable Content Credentials.
Does it change quality or upload my files?
Your selected files are processed locally and are not uploaded. Images export as PNG with displayed orientation and transparency preserved, but color conversion, bit depth and file size can change. Supported audio/video tracks are copied without re-encoding. Read the file privacy details.
