What is AI image metadata checker?

AI image metadata checker reads the hidden tags that mark a picture as made or edited with AI. It looks for three kinds: a Content Credentials (C2PA) manifest, the IPTC digital-source-type field, and XMP notes written by AI and editing apps. You see which ones are in the file and what they say, without opening a desktop tool like ExifTool.

This helps when a photo you took is flagged as AI because an editing app added a tag for a small generative fix, or when you want to confirm what a file will tell the apps it’s uploaded to. If a tag is wrong on a file you made, you can download a copy with it removed. The pixels aren’t redrawn or recompressed, so the picture looks the same. Watermarks inside the pixels and logos drawn on the image are not touched. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.

When to use it

  • Remove a content-credentials label before you archive a file.
  • Drop an XMP note that names an AI image tool.
  • Check whether a photo still carries that hidden label.
  • Keep the camera EXIF when the AI note is in a separate block.

Tips for the best result

  • Download the new file and share that copy, not the original.
  • Open the new file in EXIF viewer and remover if you also want the camera and GPS details gone.
  • A corner badge or a mark inside the pixels is a different job. This page does not repaint the picture.

Limits and privacy

JPG, PNG and WebP are supported. GIF files do not carry this label and are left unchanged. A colour profile is kept. If the AI note is written inside the EXIF block, that whole EXIF block is removed with it. An invisible watermark stored in the pixels is not removed. If an image was generated with AI, label it as AI when you share it. Processing happens entirely in your browser, so your data never leaves your device and there is nothing to sign up for. Files are processed in your browser and never uploaded.

Many people who use AI image metadata checker also need EXIF viewer and remover or EXIF data editor, and Compress image is one click away. Every MondayKit tool works the same way – open the page, add your input, get the result – with no account, no watermark and no upload.

Frequently asked questions

What does this checker look for?

Content Credentials (C2PA), the IPTC digital-source-type tag, and XMP notes that say an image was generated or edited with AI. These are the hidden tags that apps and platforms read.

Why would a real photo carry an AI tag?

Some editing apps add the tag when you use a generative feature, even for a small fix. The tag then describes the whole file. The checker shows exactly which tag is present.

Can it remove the tag?

Yes. Download without AI label saves a copy with the C2PA block, IPTC digital-source tag and XMP AI note removed. The pixels and colour profile stay. If the note sits inside the EXIF block, that EXIF block is removed with it.

Does it remove an invisible watermark or a logo?

No. Watermarks stored in the pixels, such as SynthID, and badges drawn on the picture are untouched. This page only reads and edits metadata.

Should I label AI images when I share them?

Yes. If an image was made or heavily changed with AI, say so. Platforms and India’s IT Rules expect AI-generated content to be labelled.

Is the image uploaded?

No. The file is read and rewritten in your browser and never sent anywhere.
