Remove AI Labels From Your Photos, Instantly and Free

Snap Crop AI Label strips C2PA, XMP, and EXIF metadata right in your browser, or adds a synthetic camera EXIF profile. Files never leave your device, so nothing is uploaded to any server.

How it works: each image is redrawn onto a hidden canvas and re-encoded from raw pixels, so EXIF, XMP, C2PA, and PNG metadata from the source file never carry over to the output. HEIC files decode through a WASM libheif build first, and AVIF decodes natively in your browser. EXIF injection uses piexifjs to write a synthetic camera profile into JPEGs. No file is ever uploaded to a server.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I remove an AI label from a photo?

Upload it to the Cleaner above with metadata stripping on, then download the result and re-upload that clean file. Re-processing an already-posted image on the platform's side won't remove a label that's already showing. The fix has to happen before you first post it.

Does this guarantee the AI label will be removed?

It removes the C2PA, XMP, and EXIF metadata that today's platform labels are driven by. If a platform later starts labeling based on pixel analysis or an embedded watermark like SynthID instead of metadata, a metadata tool won't touch that. See the note on invisible watermarks below.

Is it legal to strip metadata from my own photos?

Editing or removing metadata from files you own is generally fine. Some platforms and jurisdictions have their own disclosure rules for AI-generated content that apply regardless of what's in the file's metadata, so check the specific platform's policy if you're unsure.

Does my image get uploaded anywhere?

No. Both the Cleaner and the Checker run entirely in your browser using the Canvas API and local JavaScript. Nothing is sent to a server. You can check the Network tab in DevTools to confirm.

What formats are supported?

JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, and HEIC. HEIC is decoded through a WASM build of libheif before processing. AVIF decodes natively in the browser but is exported as PNG, since canvas re-encoding to AVIF isn't reliably supported across browsers yet.

Will this affect image quality?

Metadata is stored separately from pixel data, so removing it doesn't touch what the image looks like. JPEG re-encoding uses a high quality setting (92%), which is visually lossless for almost all use cases, though it is a fresh encode rather than a byte-for-byte copy.

What's the difference between EXIF, XMP, and C2PA?

EXIF is classic camera metadata: make, model, GPS, exposure settings. XMP is Adobe's more flexible, free-form metadata format, used by both editing software and several AI generators to store prompts or job IDs. C2PA is a newer, cryptographically signed provenance record, known as Content Credentials, that several major AI tools and platforms have adopted specifically to track how an image was made or edited.

What about invisible pixel watermarks like SynthID?

This tool only addresses metadata-based markers: C2PA, XMP, EXIF, and PNG text chunks, the same fields the Checker scans for. Pixel-level watermarking schemes are embedded in the image data itself and are a different, separate problem that a metadata stripper doesn't solve.
