Remove C2PA Content Credentials
C2PA (Content Credentials) is a signed manifest embedded in a file that records how it was created or edited, often marking it as AI-generated. This tool removes the C2PA manifest from images and PDFs in your browser. Because the manifest is cryptographically signed, removing it breaks that signature - which is usually the intent. Processed locally in your browser - nothing is uploaded.
What gets removed
Adobe, OpenAI and camera makers attach C2PA credentials to declare provenance. If you would rather a file not carry that provenance tag, this tool cuts the manifest out. Be clear on the trade-off: once removed, the file can no longer be verified as having those Content Credentials - the signature is gone by design.

- C2PA chunks from PNG
- C2PA data referenced in XMP (WebP)
- The "made with AI" / edit-history provenance tag
Frequently Asked Questions
About stripping EXIF, GPS, AI workflow data and other embedded metadata.
C2PA is an open standard that attaches a signed record of how a file was created and edited, increasingly used to flag AI-generated or AI-edited media. This tool detects and removes that manifest.
Removing the manifest deletes the provenance data and breaks its cryptographic signature. There is no longer a verifiable Content Credentials record attached - that is the point of removing it.
