What this tool does

It removes metadata — C2PA, XMP, EXIF, IPTC and PNG text chunks — from files you process locally, and verifies the result is clean.

What it cannot do

• Pixel watermarks (e.g., SynthID) live inside image data, not metadata. No metadata utility can alter them.
• Visual classifiers judge the picture itself; a perfectly clean file can still be flagged by one.
• Markers in video containers (MP4 C2PA) require re-encoding the video; stills-only cleaning won’t touch them.
• Guarantees: platforms change detection constantly. Absence of a label tomorrow is never promised.

Legal responsibility is yours

Editing metadata on files you own is broadly permitted, but publishing may be governed by platform terms, advertising standards and AI-disclosure regimes such as the EU AI Act. Where disclosure is legally required for AI-generated content, removing metadata does not create an exemption. This tool performs file operations; it offers no legal advice.
