Remove AI Metadata Only and Keep Your Camera Data
This AI only metadata remover deletes prompts, workflows and AI source tags. It keeps EXIF, captions and the exact picture. Nothing is uploaded.
Recognized PNG generation keys and supported explicit generation fields in readable XMP.
What the AI only metadata remover deletes and keeps
The tool follows a short list of rules. It deletes a field only when the rule names it. Everything else stays in the file.
Removed from your copy
- PNG text: parametersThe block that AUTOMATIC1111 and Forge write. It holds the prompt, negative prompt, seed, sampler and model hash.
- PNG text: prompt and workflowThe two blocks that ComfyUI writes. They hold the node graph, prompts and every setting.
- PNG text: negative_prompt and comfyuiTwo more key names that some generators use for prompt data.
- XMP AI source valueA DigitalSourceType field set to trainedAlgorithmicMedia or compositeWithTrainedAlgorithmicMedia. This value marks a file as AI-made.
- XMP generation fieldsPrompt, NegativePrompt, GenerationParameters, Seed, Sampler, Steps, Model and Workflow. They go only when their namespace names a generator source.
Kept
- The picture data, byte for byte
- EXIF camera, lens, date and GPS fields
- Captions, titles, copyright and creator fields
- IPTC records
- Other PNG text blocks
- The color profile (ICC)
- Content Credentials (C2PA) containers
- Your original file, unchanged
Content Credentials stay, so a signed AI record can remain in the copy. GPS stays too. Use the related tools to remove them.
How to remove AI metadata and keep EXIF
Add your images
Drop the PNG, JPG or WebP files from your generator. A batch takes 30, each up to 15 MB and 50 megapixels.
Read what was found
Each file shows its metadata groups. The tool also says whether it found generation fields to remove.
Remove and download
Click Remove AI metadata for each image. The copy lists what was removed and what was kept. Download one file or all cleaned files as a ZIP.
What the AI-only clean changes
- The tool edits the metadata blocks in the file.
- It does not encode the picture again.
- The pixels in the copy match the original.
- It reads the edited file again to confirm a valid structure.
- The format stays the same: JPG, PNG or WebP.
Where AI generators store prompts, and what this tool does
Each generator saves its data in its own place. Key names can change between versions. Check your own file in the tool.
| Generator | Where prompt data may sit | Result with this tool |
|---|---|---|
| AUTOMATIC1111 and Forge (PNG) | PNG text key “parameters” | Removed |
| AUTOMATIC1111 and Forge (JPG or WebP) | EXIF UserComment field | Kept, because EXIF is kept |
| ComfyUI (PNG) | PNG text keys “prompt” and “workflow” | Removed |
| Fooocus (PNG) | Often the PNG text key “parameters” | Removed when that key is used |
| NovelAI (PNG) | PNG text keys such as “Comment” and “Description” | Kept, because ordinary images also use these keys |
| InvokeAI (PNG) | Its own PNG text keys, which differ by version | Kept unless the key is on the list |
| Midjourney | An AI source value, plus prompt text in description fields | XMP source value removed. Description kept |
| ChatGPT, Gemini, Firefly and Copilot | A signed Content Credentials record | Kept. The C2PA remover clears it |
| Hidden PNG info in pixels | Data stored in the alpha channel of the picture | Kept, because pixels never change |
These are common patterns, not fixed rules. The result lists what the tool removed.
- PNG text block
- A named text record inside a PNG file. The name is its key, such as “parameters”.
- DigitalSourceType
- An IPTC field, often stored in XMP. The value “trainedAlgorithmicMedia” says the image is AI-made.
- XMP namespace
- A web address that says which program owns a field. It tells a camera Model from an AI Model.
- Content Credentials (C2PA)
- A signed history that some AI services attach to a file. This tool leaves it in place.
Why use an AI only metadata remover
Keeps camera data
Exposure, lens, date and camera model stay in the file.
No re-encoding
The tool edits metadata blocks only. The pixels in the copy match your original.
Reports each change
The result lists what was removed and the records that stay.
Stops when unsure
Files with unreadable XMP, or JPEGs with Extended XMP, are refused. No partial copy is made.
A full render batch
Line up 30 generated images in one batch. Clear the prompts from each, then save the set as one ZIP.
Your prompts stay private
The prompts are removed inside your browser, so they never reach a server. No account is needed.
Who removes AI metadata and keeps EXIF
Stable Diffusion users
Share a PNG from AUTOMATIC1111 or Forge without its prompt and seed.
ComfyUI users
Remove the workflow graph. It can contain file paths and, with some custom nodes, API keys.
Photographers
Remove an XMP AI source value from an edited photo and keep the camera record.
Digital artists
Keep your prompts private while your credit and copyright fields stay.
Prompt sellers and studios
Send sample images without the settings that made them.
Archivists
Keep dates, captions and color profiles while generation notes go.
When to remove only the AI fields
Use it when
- You want prompts and workflows gone, but camera data kept.
- You must keep the picture exactly as it is.
- You share Stable Diffusion or ComfyUI PNGs.
- You want to keep captions and copyright in the file.
Use another tool when
- You want every record removed in one passAI metadata remover
- The AI record is in Content CredentialsC2PA remover
- You also want GPS location goneRemove GPS from photo
- The prompt sits in EXIF fieldsEXIF cleaner
- You want to clear the whole XMP packetXMP remover
- You only want to see what a file holdsAI metadata checker

AI only metadata remover questions
Using the tool
How do I remove the prompt from an AI image?
Drop the image into the tool and click Remove AI metadata. Then download the copy. Your original stays unchanged.
Is it free, and are my files uploaded?
It is free and needs no account. Your prompts and workflows are removed in your browser and never uploaded.
Can I process many images at once?
Yes. Drop up to 30 generated images together. Click Remove AI metadata on each one. Save each cleaned copy, or one ZIP for the set.
What if the tool finds nothing to remove?
The page says so. If the file has Content Credentials, a Remove Content Credentials button appears. Otherwise, if other metadata is present, a Remove all metadata button appears.
What it removes and what stays
How is this different from the AI metadata remover?
This tool deletes only listed AI fields and keeps the pixels exactly. The AI metadata remover deletes every supported record and saves the picture again.
Does it remove Stable Diffusion and ComfyUI metadata?
It removes the PNG text keys “parameters”, “prompt”, “workflow”, “negative_prompt” and “comfyui”. Data under other key names stays.
Does it keep my EXIF camera data?
Yes. Camera, lens, exposure, date and GPS fields all stay. The tool never edits EXIF.
My JPG from AUTOMATIC1111 still has the prompt. Why?
For JPG and WebP, the prompt is often in the EXIF UserComment field. This tool keeps EXIF. Use the EXIF cleaner for that file.
Why does it keep Content Credentials?
They are a separate, signed record, so the tool leaves them alone. Note that editing the file can make that signature fail a check.
Does it remove every AI-related field?
No. It removes only the fields its rules name. Unknown or unclear fields stay on purpose, so check the copy in the AI metadata checker.
Does it change image quality?
No. It edits metadata only and does not save the picture again. The pixels in the copy match the original.
Labels and watermarks
Will this stop an AI label on social media?
No. This tool does not change how platforms label images. Content Credentials stay in the copy. Platform disclosure rules still apply.
Can it remove SynthID or other invisible watermarks?
No. This tool never changes a pixel, and those marks are stored in the pixels. No tool on this site detects or removes them.
Does an image without prompts prove it is not AI-made?
No. Metadata is easy to remove or lose. Its absence says nothing about how an image was made.
Share the picture, not the prompt
Drop an image, remove its generation fields, and keep the camera data.
