A metadata check explains file contents. It cannot certify whether an image is real or AI-generated.

A clear path from metadata to a sharing decision

1. Read the evidence

Select a still JPG, PNG or WebP. See the actual source declarations, editing fields and privacy information we can read. Unreadable data is reported as unknown.

2. Choose a privacy copy

Keep your original. If you want to remove descriptive metadata from a file you control, choose privacy cleanup. Credential removal is a separate choice when provenance is present.

3. Download a verified result

The copy is parsed again and its decoded pixels are compared with the original. Download becomes available after verification. Required disclosures and platform labels still need your attention.

Already published?

Understand the platform’s label

A file’s metadata is one source of information. Platforms can also use disclosures and other signals. A label on a post or account must be handled on that platform.

TikTok

TikTok says an automatically applied AI-generated label cannot be removed from the original post. Check whether it is an automatic or creator-applied label and follow the platform’s disclosure guidance.

Pinterest

If you believe an AI label on one of your Pins is incorrect, Pinterest directs you to contact its support team to appeal. Save the original image and details of your editing process.

AI metadata checker FAQ

What is an AI metadata checker?

It reads information stored inside an image file: Content Credentials, AI source declarations, editing software, GPS and other metadata. This tool reports the fields it can read and explains their limits. It does not estimate whether the pixels were made by AI.

Does ‘not found’ mean the image is not AI-generated?

No. Metadata may be absent, stripped or unsupported. An AI image can have no recognizable metadata, and a camera photo can contain records of AI-assisted editing. Neither result certifies the image’s authenticity.

Can this remove an Instagram, TikTok or Pinterest AI label?

A local file tool cannot change labels on posts that are already published, account settings or platform decisions. Use the platform’s help or appeal process for a suspected error. Cleaning a new copy does not guarantee how it will be labeled on upload.

What does the privacy copy remove and preserve?

For supported still JPG, PNG and WebP files, cleanup removes descriptive EXIF, XMP, IPTC and text metadata. Embedded credentials require an explicit choice to include them. The tool retains the original image encoding, ICC profile and EXIF orientation, then rechecks the copy and compares decoded pixels before enabling download. Files with incomplete inspection or unsupported structures cannot be cleaned.

Does privacy cleanup reduce image quality?

The checker does not redraw or re-encode the image. It changes supported metadata blocks and verifies that image data and decoded pixels match. Original color profiles and orientation are retained. Keep the original file if you need its attribution, provenance or editing history.

Are my images or metadata uploaded?

No. The image parser, credential reader and pixel comparison run on your device. The browser downloads the checker’s code when needed, but file bytes and extracted metadata are not sent to our servers. Remote provenance links, certificate revocation services and trust lists are not fetched.

Can it check SynthID, invisible watermarks or video?

No. This version checks embedded metadata in still JPG, PNG and WebP images up to 25 MB and 24 megapixels. It does not detect invisible watermarks, retrieve external provenance, or inspect HEIC, AVIF, animated images, MP4 or MOV.
