Remove C2PA metadata
Remove C2PA Content Credentials from images.
C2PA Content Credentials are a signed provenance manifest that labels a file as AI-made or edited. We strip the JUMBF/APP11 segment and “Made with AI” XMP/EXIF fields from images you own. Learn where these live in our metadata primer, or read the full walkthrough.

How it works
Upload. We strip the credentials. You download.
The signed manifest and the provenance labels, cleared in one pass.
We process it privately
We remove the C2PA manifest (JUMBF/APP11 or caBX) and the “Made with AI” XMP/EXIF fields, in isolation.

What it removes
What Content Credentials actually store.
C2PA is provenance metadata, not a pixel watermark. It is invisible in the picture but fully readable by any verifier, and removable from files you own.
The signed C2PA manifest
A cryptographically signed record embedded as a JUMBF/APP11 segment in JPEG or a caBX chunk in PNG, listing the tool and edit history.
“Made with AI” fields
XMP and EXIF entries that flag the file as AI-generated or edited are stripped alongside the manifest.
The deep-clean pass
Metadata removal is followed by a pixel-regeneration pass that disrupts embedded signals like SynthID, which a metadata wipe cannot touch.
Understanding C2PA
Content Credentials, and how removal works.
What C2PA is
C2PA (the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) defines Content Credentials, a signed manifest that records how an image was made and edited. In a JPEG it is stored as a JUMBF box inside an APP11 marker segment; in a PNG it lives in a caBX chunk. Tools like ChatGPT, DALL·E, Adobe Firefly, and many cameras attach it. Our metadata and Content Credentials primer maps it out.
Invisible, but easy to read
Content Credentials do not change how the picture looks, but anyone can inspect them at contentcredentials.org/verify and see the “Made with AI” label and edit trail. That is often what triggers AI labeling on social platforms, even when nothing is visible in the image itself.
How we remove it
A standalone C2PA metadata strip is pixel-preserving. Delete SynthID currently follows metadata removal with its deep-clean regeneration pass, which can alter fine details even when the visible composition stays similar. It pairs naturally with the ChatGPT & DALL·E remover and the general AI watermark remover.
What metadata removal does not cover
Stripping Content Credentials does not touch embedded pixel watermarks such as SynthID, which survive a metadata wipe and require pixel regeneration instead. If your file has both, handle both. Read what SynthID is and pick an output with the format guide.
Straight answers
C2PA Content Credentials, answered.
What are C2PA Content Credentials?
They are a signed provenance manifest that records how an image was created and edited, including a “Made with AI” label. In JPEG they sit in a JUMBF/APP11 segment; in PNG they sit in a caBX chunk.
How do I remove C2PA metadata?
Upload an image you own and we strip the C2PA manifest and the “Made with AI” XMP/EXIF fields so verifiers no longer find Content Credentials. The first 3 images are free.
Does removing C2PA also remove SynthID?
No. C2PA is metadata alongside the pixels, while SynthID is embedded in the pixels. Stripping Content Credentials leaves SynthID intact, so an embedded signal needs regeneration.
Will removing Content Credentials change the image quality?
A standalone metadata strip does not alter pixels. Delete SynthID currently also runs its deep-clean regeneration pass, so the downloaded result may contain changes to fine image details.
How do I confirm the credentials are gone?
Upload the processed file to contentcredentials.org/verify. If no Content Credentials are found, the manifest was removed. Treat it as one signal, since platforms may run their own checks.

Remove Content Credentials only from images you created or have the right to edit, and do not use removal to misrepresent authorship or provenance. Delete SynthID is an independent service. See responsible editing and whether removal is legal.
