Clearing EXIF/XMP/C2PA data
Remove EXIF, XMP, C2PA metadata, as well as fields generated by AI tools from PNG and JPEG files. Two particularly thoughtful approaches were adopted: first, a report is generated before any action is taken, detailing exactly what information will be removed; instead of simply providing you with a new file without any explanations. Second, ICC color profile information can be preserved separately—forcing the removal of all metadata would also result in the loss of this crucial data, which could cause color discrepancies when the image is displayed on different devices. Many similar tools make this same mistake.
The description of how these watermarks function is fairly honest: Watermarks like SynthID are embedded within the pixels themselves, which gives them considerable resistance to processes such as cropping, compression, and filtering. They don’t exist at the metadata level at all; therefore, no metadata tools are able to detect them. These technologies don’t pretend to be capable of handling metadata in any way.
It is important to pay attention to C2PA. Content credentials are essentially designed to prove the origin of content; before removing them, it is necessary to carefully consider the issue of copyright ownership, auditing requirements, and the disclosure policies of the relevant platforms. Moreover, the use of such tools does not alter the true creative origin of the content itself. The prerequisite for their application is that you are dealing with files that you own or have been authorized to use.
