No AI tag on your real photos

A small generative fix in Photoshop or a phone editor can be enough for Instagram, Facebook or Threads to put an “AI info” tag on a genuine photo. Drop the file below to see which data triggers the tag, then share a clean copy with no AI tag in its metadata.

Why a real photo gets an AI tag

Platforms read provenance data that editors attach to the file. Why real photos get an “AI info” label covers the details; the usual triggers are:

  • A C2PA manifest recording a generative step such as Generative Fill, AI erase or AI expand.
  • An IPTC or XMP DigitalSourceType value saying the image was composited with AI.
  • Content Credentials that an editing app adds by default on export.

How to post with no AI tag

It takes under a minute and nothing leaves your device:

  • Drop the edited photo into the box at the top of this page.
  • Read the verdict and the fields behind it — the report names the exact C2PA action or IPTC value.
  • Press “Wash all images” and save the clean copy.
  • Upload the clean copy, not the original export.

Stop the tag at the source

If you edit often, turn off Content Credentials in Photoshop and Lightroom so they are not written in the first place. Which platforms label AI images lists what Meta, TikTok, YouTube and others read.

What “no AI tag” can and cannot promise

Removing the metadata removes the file-based reason for the tag, which is the cause on most edited photos. It cannot remove pixel watermarks such as SynthID, and a platform may still label a post from its own detection or ask you to self-disclose. This page is meant for genuine photos with minor edits: if an image is AI-generated and could mislead people, disclose it.

From tagged to clean in four moves

There is nothing to install and no account to create. The page itself does the work.

  1. Drop the files in

    Add as many as 50 JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, HEIC or AVIF images. The browser opens them locally; no copy goes anywhere.

  2. Read the report

    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.

  3. Press “Wash all images”

    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.

  4. Save the clean copies

    Save files one at a time, or grab every washed image in one ZIP archive.

No AI tag questions

Will this remove the “AI info” label from a post I already published?

No. The label belongs to the post on the platform. Delete or archive the post, clean the file here, then upload the clean copy.

Is “no AI tag” guaranteed?

No. It removes the metadata platforms read, but they can also use other signals. On most edited photos the metadata is the reason for the tag.

Does it work with iPhone and Android photos?

Yes. iPhone HEIC and Android JPG files are cleaned in place, with no conversion. There is also a dedicated HEIC metadata remover.

What about AI tags on a fully AI-generated image?

The AI tag cleaner shows and removes them, but platform rules generally still require you to label realistic AI images yourself.
