    Hidden Metadata in AI-Generated Images

    When you create an image with Midjourney or DALL-E, the file contains invisible metadata tags that identify it as AI-generated. These include:

    • IPTC DigitalSourceType: Set to trainedAlgorithmicMedia
    • C2PA provenance data: A digital "chain of custody" recording the AI origin
    • XMP metadata: Additional tags embedding tool information

    Social networks like Instagram and Facebook read these tags and automatically apply the "AI Info" badge.

    Why Screenshots Don't Work

    Many creators try taking screenshots to remove metadata. While this strips EXIF data, it also:

    • Dramatically reduces image quality
    • Changes the resolution and aspect ratio
    • May still be flagged by visual AI detection algorithms

    The Right Way: InstaLabelRemover

    InstaLabelRemover properly handles metadata removal:

    • Strips all C2PA, IPTC, and XMP AI markers
    • Injects realistic iPhone EXIF data (GPS, camera model, lens info)
    • Preserves 95% JPEG quality — no visible degradation
    • Processes on secure servers — your images stay private
