AI Metadata Cleaner — Free In-Browser EXIF, GPS, C2PA & AI Provenance Remover

What AI Metadata Cleaner does

AI Metadata Cleaner is a free in-browser metadata and AI provenance cleaner for images, video, PDF, and RAW files. It inspects and strips EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC, C2PA Content Credentials, and AI generator tags (Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, GPT-Image-2, Veo 3) locally in your browser via WebAssembly. There are zero file uploads. The product is 100% free, no signup is required, and every pass runs locally in the browser.

Photographers, AI artists, and privacy-conscious creators use it before a file is published. A picture can look finished in a preview and still carry camera EXIF, GPS coordinates, IPTC credits, XMP packets, or a C2PA manifest. AI Metadata Cleaner lists those blocks first, then removes the container metadata on the device.

For still images, start with the In-Browser JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF & HEIC Image Metadata Cleaner. The same local app also covers video, PDF, and camera RAW.

Core capabilities

• Inspect and strip camera EXIF, GPS coordinates, XMP, and IPTC blocks.
• Remove C2PA and JUMBF container markers, including Content Credentials stored beside the pixels.
• Strip AI generator tags associated with Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, GPT-Image-2, and Veo 3.
• Batch up to 20 files and export a ZIP in one click.
• Optionally re-encode through an HTML5 Canvas path when a fresh raster is preferred.
• Stay on the device: processing uses WebAssembly, with zero file uploads.

Supported file formats

Images: JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, and HEIC. Video: MP4, MOV, and WebM, handled with FFmpeg.wasm. Documents: PDF, handled with pdf-lib so author, XMP, and document properties can be reviewed. Camera RAW: DNG, CR2, NEF, and ARW through LibRaw WebAssembly. One browser session can mix these types inside the 20-file batch limit, then download a ZIP.

Honest boundary

AI Metadata Cleaner strips container-level metadata and C2PA/JUMBF markers locally. Pixel-domain SynthID watermarks are detected and explained. They are not stripped, because they live in the image pixels rather than in a metadata box. The tool also does not control how a social network later applies its own AI label after you upload a cleaned file. That boundary is deliberate: container metadata is removable; an invisible pixel watermark is a different layer.

Step-by-step workflow

1. Open https://aimetadatacleaner.pro/ in a current browser. No account and no install are required.
2. Drop a JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC, MP4, MOV, WebM, PDF, or RAW file. The bytes stay in the browser.
3. Read the inspector. It lists EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC, C2PA Content Credentials, and known AI generator tags.
4. Choose strip. WebAssembly rewrites the container and drops those metadata blocks.
5. Download the cleaned file, or queue up to 20 files and export a ZIP.
6. If the job is only still images, use the image metadata cleaner linked above and leave video or PDF files for their own pass.

FAQ

Is AI Metadata Cleaner free? Yes. It is 100% free, with no signup, and it runs locally in the browser.

Are files uploaded? No. There are zero file uploads. Inspection and stripping happen in WebAssembly on your machine.

Does it remove Google SynthID? No. SynthID-style pixel watermarks are detected and explained. What gets removed is container metadata: EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC, C2PA/JUMBF, and listed AI generator tags.

Which generators are called out? Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, GPT-Image-2, and Veo 3 tags, plus C2PA Content Credentials when they are present in the file container.
