Product names only identify where images come from; AI Label Remover is not affiliated with these companies.
Pick the job you need done — every tool has the drop zone built in at the top of the page.
AI generators and AI-assisted editors tag the files they touch: a “generated by AI” source type, a signed C2PA record, the app name, sometimes the whole prompt. Drop an image below to see every AI tag it carries, then clean them out without re-encoding a single pixel.

Inspect and remove C2PA Content Credentials (JUMBF manifests) from JPG, PNG, HEIC, WebP and AVIF files, losslessly and without uploading them anywhere.

Remove EXIF, GPS location and timestamps from iPhone HEIC and HEIF photos without converting them to JPEG. Lossless, in your browser, nothing uploaded.
Open tool
Remove PNG metadata — tEXt, iTXt and zTXt chunks with Stable Diffusion or ComfyUI prompts, XMP, eXIf and C2PA — while keeping the image lossless.

Metadata is “data about data”: notes stored inside an image file that never show up in the picture itself. Cameras, phones, photo editors and AI image generators all add to it automatically, usually without telling you.
For photos, metadata falls into five broad groups. Each one answers a different question about the image — and about the person who took or made it.
Title, caption, keywords, names of people in the shot.
IPTC Caption, XMP dc:title
Camera make and model, lens, aperture, shutter, ISO, serial number.
EXIF Make, Model, BodySerialNumber
GPS coordinates, altitude, capture date and time zone.
EXIF GPSLatitude, DateTimeOriginal
Author, owner, copyright, last editing software.
EXIF Artist, Copyright, Software
Content Credentials, “made with AI” labels, prompts and workflows.
C2PA manifest, IPTC DigitalSourceType
You will see many names for the same job — “metadata remover”, “EXIF remover”, “metadata scrubber”, “strip photo info” — they all mean taking the hidden notes out of a file without changing the picture. Likewise a “metadata viewer”, “reader” or “checker” shows what is inside the file. AI Label Remover does both.
Any single metadata field is usually harmless, but together they say a lot about you. A photo taken at home and posted to a marketplace can carry GPS coordinates accurate to a few meters; images sent by email or cloud link keep everything the camera wrote. See how GPS in photos can reveal your home address.
For images made or edited with AI, metadata also decides whether a platform shows a “Made with AI” label, and can expose the full prompt you wrote.
One image file can hold several metadata “compartments” at once, each following a different standard. AI Label Remover reads and removes all of the ones below.
Each format stores metadata its own way. AI Label Remover reads that structure directly instead of re-rendering the picture.

There is nothing to install and no account to create. The page itself does the work.
Add as many as 50 JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, HEIC or AVIF images. The browser opens them locally; no copy goes anywhere.
Each file is walked block by block — EXIF, XMP, IPTC, C2PA, text chunks — and you see what it says about place, people, time and AI.
The metadata blocks are cut out of the byte stream. Image data is left alone, and the result is read again to prove the fields are gone.
Save files one at a time, or grab every washed image in one ZIP archive.
With any tool that handles personal files, the first question is “where do my photos go?”. AI Label Remover’s answer: nowhere.
Reading and cleaning run in a Web Worker inside your browser tab. No server ever receives your files.
Because photos are never sent anywhere, there is no copy to store, leak or use to train a model.
Load the page, turn off Wi-Fi and wash a file — it still works. The Network tab in DevTools shows no image data leaving.
No sign-up, no analytics, ads or third-party pixels. The site only remembers the language and theme you pick.
Comparison
There are three common ways to strip metadata from a photo: an online remover that uploads your file, a screenshot or re-export, or a tool that edits the file itself. Here is an honest comparison on the seven points that matter most.

No. The page reads and rewrites files inside your browser using Web Workers. Once it has loaded you can switch off Wi-Fi and it keeps working.
No. AI Label Remover only cuts metadata blocks out of the file. The compressed image data is copied byte for byte, so resolution, detail and color are identical.
JPEG/JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, HEIC/HEIF (the iPhone default) and AVIF. Each file can be up to 25 MB and 40 megapixels, and you can load 50 at a time.
The file carries C2PA Content Credentials that do not say AI was used. Some platforms still read that record when deciding on labels, so it is worth washing if you do not want it attached.
No. Those watermarks are woven into the pixels, not stored as metadata, and AI Label Remover deliberately never changes pixels.
Labels that come from C2PA or IPTC metadata lose their source once it is washed out. Platforms can still rely on other signals or ask you to disclose AI content yourself.
Removed: GPS, dates and camera settings, author and copyright, captions, software and edit history, thumbnails, AI source labels (IPTC DigitalSourceType, XMP), prompts and workflows, and C2PA manifests. Kept: pixel size, rotation, ICC color profile and animation frames.
No catch. Your device does the processing, so there is no per-image server bill to pass on, no account and no watermark.
EXIF is one kind of metadata — the kind cameras and phones write. “Metadata” is the wider term and also covers XMP, IPTC, C2PA and PNG text chunks. See what EXIF data is.
Yes, if the image has GPS tags. Phones usually record latitude, longitude and altitude when location is enabled for the camera. The EXIF remover strips these tags without touching image quality.
Drop the image into the box at the top of this page and press “Wash all images”, or use the dedicated AI metadata remover to preview the C2PA, IPTC and prompt data first.
Your photos are not uploaded at all. AI Label Remover opens files in your browser, processes them in the tab’s memory and saves the clean copy straight to your device. Once the page has loaded you can go offline and it keeps working.
