What is C2PA?
C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) is a standard that embeds invisible metadata into images to track their origin. When AI tools like DALL-E, Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, or Stable Diffusion generate an image, they embed C2PA “Content Credentials” that permanently mark it as AI-generated.
This metadata is stored in JUMBF (JPEG Universal Metadata Box Format) containers within the APP11 segment of JPEG files. It's invisible to the naked eye, but any C2PA-aware tool can read it — including dating apps, social media platforms, and reverse image search engines.
What our C2PA checker detects
C2PA Content Credentials
The main AI provenance standard. Embedded by OpenAI, Adobe, Google, and most major AI image generators.
JUMBF Containers
The binary format that stores C2PA manifests. Found in JPEG APP11 segments with JP signatures.
EXIF Metadata
Camera and software information. AI tools often leave traces in EXIF tags like Software, Creator, or Processing.
XMP Metadata
Adobe's extensible metadata. Contains editing history, AI tool identifiers, and provenance chains.
Found C2PA metadata? Remove it.
Our C2PA remover strips all Content Credentials, EXIF, XMP, IPTC, and ICC metadata. Get back a clean image file with zero AI fingerprints.
