Built around the result you need

AI metadata is not one universal tag

Provenance can appear in several blocks, and platforms may combine file data with signals MetaScrub cannot access.

C2PA and JUMBF

Recognized embedded provenance containers may describe origin, tools, ingredients, or edits.

XMP and AI-tagged fields

Some workflows store generator, edit, or provenance information in XMP or related text metadata.

Signals outside metadata

Pixels, visible watermarks, platform classifiers, account history, and creator disclosures remain separate.

Inspect before you remove

Choose AI provenance only when privacy metadata should stay

The narrow mode is designed for provenance cleanup without broad EXIF removal.

  • Removes recognized C2PA/JUMBF provenance metadata
  • Removes recognized AI-tagged metadata where supported
  • Keeps EXIF and GPS, XMP, IPTC, comments, ICC, and image pixels
  • Verifies the output before you download the cleaned copy

Inside a supported image

Four layers the workbench checks

Each layer serves a different purpose, so the cleaner reports it separately.

EXIF and GPS

Camera, capture, device, time, and location details.

XMP and IPTC

Captions, credits, rights, keywords, edits, and software fields.

Content Credentials

Recognized C2PA/JUMBF provenance records and assertions.

ICC and pixels

Color profile and visual image data stay when possible.

Honest product boundaries

AI metadata removal is not AI detection removal

  • MetaScrub cannot make an image “undetectable” or guarantee a classifier outcome.
  • It does not remove invisible or pixel-level watermarks, fingerprints, or visual content.
  • It cannot change an AI label on a published post or override a platform policy.

AI metadata remover questions

How do I remove AI metadata from an image?

Add the image, review the detected blocks, select AI provenance only, clean locally, and verify the downloaded result.

Is MetaScrub a free AI metadata cleaner?

Yes. The free tier includes up to five successful still-image cleans per day without uploading the source image.

Can it remove AI detection from an image?

No. It removes supported file metadata, not visual classifier signals, model fingerprints, or platform-side detection.

Can it remove AI metadata from video?

No. MetaScrub does not support video. It supports JPEG, PNG, and WebP still images only.
