Remove IA Label

Clean DALL·E metadata

Images generated with DALL·E (OpenAI’s image model) usually come out with embedded C2PA / Content Credentials: a signed manifest that declares the file as AI-generated content. It is a provenance standard meant for traceability, and it is also the most visible label for any verifier.

With Remove IA Label you remove that manifest and the associated metadata without recompressing the image: the pixels do not change.

DALL·E’s provenance trail

DALL·E’s characteristic trail is the C2PA credential. It is cryptographically signed metadata that travels inside the file and that content-verification tools (and some platforms) read to mark the image as AI-generated. Alongside it there may be XMP blocks and a minimal EXIF, depending on how you downloaded or re-exported the image.

How to clean it

1. Run the image through the checker to confirm whether it carries C2PA and what else it contains. 2. Use /c2pa to remove the provenance credential, and /xmp / /exif for the other blocks. 3. Download the result. No recompression: the pixels stay the same (verifiable by hash).

Supported formats: JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, TIFF and HEIC.

What does not change (honesty)

Removing the C2PA credential deletes the label inside the file, but it does not rewrite history: OpenAI may keep generation records on its service, independent of your copy. What we remove is metadata; we do not disable any possible pixel-level mark. In DALL·E the public provenance mechanism is C2PA (metadata), not a known pixel watermark, but the general principle holds: cleaning metadata does not guarantee an image is undetectable.

Privacy

The image is uploaded to our server, processed and deleted after 5 minutes. It is not used for training, we add no watermark, no account is required and the service is free.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is DALL·E’s C2PA credential?

It is a signed manifest embedded in the file stating that the image was generated by AI. It lives in the metadata, so it can be removed without touching the pixels.

After removing C2PA, is the image “traceless” everywhere?

It is traceless inside your file. We do not control records OpenAI may keep on its own service; that is separate from your local copy.

Is the PNG or JPEG recompressed?

No. Only metadata headers are removed; the pixels are identical to the original.
