How to Remove Metadata From Leonardo AI Images

What Leonardo AI Embeds

Leonardo AI, one of the fastest-growing generators in 2026, bakes several metadata layers into every export: C2PA manifests, XMP with model + prompt, and JSON workflow blobs in PNG chunks.

Why This Matters

The prompt and model name in XMP mean anyone can reverse-engineer your creative workflow. C2PA triggers AI labels on Instagram, LinkedIn and Pinterest. PNG workflow blobs are read by ComfyUI-style detectors.

Clean Workflow

• Export from Leonardo at max resolution
• Drop into InstaLabelRemover — we strip C2PA, XMP, PNG tEXt/iTXt chunks and IPTC
• Choose iPhone EXIF injection for a native look
• Download the clean JPEG

Preserving Prompt Privacy

If you want to keep your creative process private, always clean metadata before sharing. Even a "downloaded image" can leak your entire prompt chain.
