Remove C2PA Content Credentials from images

Technical owner for C2PA manifests: JPEG APP11 / JUMBF, PNG caBX, WebP credential chunks, and Content Credentials XMP. Inspect the file, strip the manifest, verify the cleaned bytes — all in the browser.

Metadata-only. Not SynthID / TrustMark removal. Platform AI labels are not guaranteed gone after cleaning.

What we strip

C2PA (Content Credentials) is a Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity spec. Tools store a signed manifest beside the pixels. Remove AI Meta rewrites the container so those boxes and pointers are gone from JPEG, PNG, and WebP. That is a different job from remove AI metadata in general language, and from platform owners (Instagram AI Info, Facebook AI Info, TikTok AI label) which frame the same class of tags for each upload surface.

Where metadata lives (MVP formats)

Format C2PA / Content Credentials EXIF / GPS AI text / XMP
JPEG APP11 / JUMBF segments; XMP pointers APP1 Exif APP1 XMP; IPTC APP13
PNG caBX chunk eXIf tEXt / iTXt / zTXt (e.g. parameters)
WebP C2PA / caBX-class RIFF chunks EXIF chunk XMP chunk

What each strip mode removes

Mode Removes Keeps (typical)
AI provenance (default) C2PA/JUMBF, Content Credentials XMP, AI DigitalSourceType, known AI PNG text Ordinary camera EXIF when it is not AI/C2PA-linked
Privacy EXIF GPS, device/camera EXIF, common IPTC (+ C2PA by default) Pixels only — privacy-first pass
Strip all All detected EXIF / XMP / IPTC / C2PA categories in the report Image payload / structural chunks

Honest SynthID boundary

SynthID / TrustMark / soft-binding watermarks are not ordinary EXIF or C2PA metadata. Remove AI Meta does not claim pixel-watermark removal, “undetectable AI”, or guaranteed platform AI-label erasure. If Instagram still shows AI Info after a clean verify pass, the signal was not (only) file metadata.

HEIC/HEIF: not shipped client-side yet. Export to JPEG / PNG / WebP first — we will not fake HEIC support.

What we will not claim

A stripped file can still contain pixel watermarks. Camera EXIF is a separate privacy pass — remove EXIF and GPS if that is the job. We never claim “undetectable AI”. Competitors that blur C2PA with SynthID (common on aimetadatacleaner / removeailabel-style pages) are selling a different product.

Report you should expect

After Clean & verify, the After panel re-scans the cleaned bytes with category groups (C2PA, AI, XMP…). C2PA chips should clear when the manifest lived in a path we rewrite — MetaStrip / Vaultaire-level readability without overselling detector evasion.
