Free Content Credentials Remover
Strip C2PA content credentials and embedded AI metadata from images—download a cleaned copy in your browser. Free, private, no account needed.
Remove content credentials
Your file is processed locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to our servers.
This removes embedded metadata (C2PA, EXIF, XMP where applicable)—not invisible pixel watermarks such as SynthID. You are responsible for how you publish cleaned files.

JPEG and PNG use lossless stripping; other formats re-encode via canvas
What gets removed
C2PA content credentials live in JUMBF containers—JPEG APP11 segments, PNG caBX chunks, and similar structures. This tool strips those containers plus other metadata segments (EXIF, XMP, text chunks) depending on the format.
JPEG and PNG use lossless byte-level stripping that preserves pixel data. Other formats fall back to canvas re-encoding, which produces a fresh file without embedded metadata.
Why people remove credentials
Creators and marketers sometimes strip credentials before publishing—to reduce automatic AI labels, protect client privacy, or simplify assets for platforms that mishandle provenance metadata.
Use this as a pre-publish hygiene step when you understand what you are sharing. Removing metadata does not change the visual content—it removes the signed history attached to the file.
How this tool works
- Upload an image—we scan for existing C2PA credentials.
- Click remove to strip metadata using the best method for your file type.
- We verify the cleaned file, then you download it—still entirely on your device.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. The remover is free, requires no account, and runs entirely in your browser.
No. Stripping and verification happen on your device. Your original file never leaves your browser.
Removing metadata from files you own is generally permitted. Some jurisdictions require AI labeling for commercial distribution—check your obligations before publishing cleaned AI-generated images.
Removing C2PA metadata may reduce platform detection that relies on embedded credentials. Platforms can still use other signals; results are not guaranteed.
The checker reads and displays C2PA manifests. This remover strips metadata and gives you a cleaned file to download, then verifies no credentials remain.
JPEG and PNG are stripped losslessly—the pixel data is unchanged. WebP, AVIF, and other formats are re-encoded through canvas, which may slightly reduce quality.
No. This tool removes file-embedded metadata only. Invisible pixel-level watermarks are not affected.
C2PA JUMBF manifests, PNG caBX chunks, JPEG APP metadata segments, and—when re-encoding—EXIF and XMP tags embedded in the file container.
