Remove "Made with AI" and "AI Info" by stripping C2PA and XMP metadata before you upload.
Feed posts, Stories, and Reel covers — browser-only, ~30 seconds. Use on files you own; follow platform rules — disclaimer.

Feed posts vs Stories vs Reels — what to clean

Instagram applies similar file-level metadata checks across formats, but the asset you export differs. Use this quick map before you run the remover.

  • Feed post or carousel slide: clean each JPG/PNG/WebP you upload
  • Image Story: clean the still image file before creating the Story
  • Reel cover thumbnail: clean the cover JPEG/PNG (video provenance may need separate handling)
  • Threads still image: same cleaned file often works — one clean, multiple channels

When in doubt, run the metadata checker on a sample export first.

When AI Info is a false positive (real photos, minor AI edits)

Many creators see AI Info on mostly real photography after light AI-assisted edits — Generative Fill in a corner, AI background removal, or Lightroom masking. Those tools can embed C2PA or XMP even when the image is not fully AI-generated.

If your photo is authentic work with small AI assists, cleaning metadata before upload is a file-hygiene step — not a way to misrepresent content. Disclose AI-assisted work where your platform or jurisdiction requires it.

AI Info on Instagram: remove it before you post

When Instagram shows AI Info beneath a post, it is usually reading C2PA or XMP metadata inside the image file—not judging pixels alone. To remove AI Info from an Instagram post, strip that metadata before upload using the free tool below.

Can you hide or turn off AI Info on Instagram? (No — here's what works)

Creators often search how to hide, turn off, or delete AI Info on Instagram. There is no reliable in-app toggle that disables the label while your file still contains C2PA or XMP AI markers. Instagram applies the disclosure when it finds those signals at upload time.

You also cannot strip metadata from a post Instagram has already ingested. The practical workflow: go back to your original export, remove C2PA and XMP with the tool below, then publish again with the cleaned file when your workflow allows.

How to remove AI Info from an Instagram post

Clean the image file before you create the post—not after it is live. This matches how most creators fix AI Info on Instagram posts and carousel slides when the label is metadata-driven.

  1. Export or save your final image (JPG, PNG, or WebP)
  2. Upload it to the tool above (batch up to 30 for carousels)
  3. Keep C2PA, XMP, and EXIF removal enabled (included by default)
  4. Download the cleaned file
  5. Create a new Instagram post with the cleaned file—metadata-based AI Info should not appear

The whole process takes under 30 seconds per image.

How to remove AI Info from an Instagram Story

Image Stories use the same metadata detection as feed posts. Strip C2PA and XMP from the image, download the cleaned file, then upload it when creating your Story. For a Story-only walkthrough, see the blog guide linked in Related reading below.

  1. Save the image you plan to use for the Story
  2. Run it through the remover above
  3. Download the cleaned file
  4. Upload that file when creating your Story in the app

Video Stories may carry provenance inside the video file; this tool handles still images. For Reels, see the next section.

Why is Instagram labeling your photos?

Meta began rolling out C2PA-based AI detection across Instagram and Facebook in early 2024. The system scans every uploaded image for embedded metadata from AI tools. When it finds these markers — from tools like Midjourney, DALL-E, Firefly, or even Photoshop's generative fill — it automatically displays an "AI Info" tag beneath your post.

The frustrating part: even minor AI-assisted edits (background removal, color correction, generative fill on a small section) can trigger a label on your entire post.

What triggers the Instagram AI label?

  • Adobe Firefly edits — C2PA credentials embedded automatically
  • DALL-E generated images — C2PA from OpenAI
  • Midjourney images — XMP generation parameters
  • Photoshop Generative Fill — C2PA partial edit markers
  • Runway ML video edits — C2PA signatures persist on frames
  • Any tool that writes C2PA or XMP AI metadata on export

Reels and carousel posts

Carousels: clean each slide before upload. Reels: clean the cover thumbnail JPEG/PNG before you set it as the Reel cover. If C2PA is embedded in the video container, you may need to re-encode the video; cleaning the cover alone won't change in-video metadata.

Threads uses the same Meta metadata checks as Instagram

Threads still-image posts go through the same class of C2PA and XMP scanning as Instagram feed uploads. Clean the file before you publish on Threads — the same cleaned raster often works on Instagram without running the tool twice.

There is no separate Threads-only metadata channel to strip: when the label is file-driven, use the remover above, then upload the cleaned asset to Threads.

Does this work for all AI tools?

Most Instagram labels are triggered by metadata written by common AI tools and editors. This remover targets the metadata channels those tools use.

  • Midjourney: often leaves XMP generation parameters
  • DALL-E / ChatGPT: frequently embeds C2PA content credentials
  • Adobe Firefly: C2PA + IPTC attribution fields
  • Stable Diffusion / ComfyUI: PNG text chunks (prompt/seed/workflow)
  • Photoshop Generative Fill: partial edit markers via C2PA

What this tool removes (Instagram-specific)

To remove C2PA and XMP before posting, process your image with the tool above.

  • C2PA content credentials
  • XMP AI generation parameters
  • IPTC AI attribution fields
  • Adobe Firefly signature metadata
  • OpenAI/DALL-E provenance markers

Instagram's systems change over time. This tool edits file metadata only — not pixel watermarks. See our disclaimer for platform limits.

Instagram upload prep: what creators should know

When AI Info is metadata-triggered, cleaning C2PA and XMP before upload is the standard creator workflow for feed posts, Stories, and Reel covers. Many photographers and social managers run the remover as the last step before publishing — especially after AI-assisted retouching such as background swaps or color grading.

FAQ

What is AI Info on Instagram?

AI Info is Instagram’s disclosure label for uploads that contain C2PA or XMP metadata tied to AI creation or editing. Meta rolled it out in 2024 (replacing “Made with AI”). It appears under eligible posts—not from pixels alone, but from metadata Instagram reads when you upload.

Will this work for Instagram Stories and Reels?

Yes for images. Stories use the same metadata detection as feed posts. For Reels, clean the cover thumbnail image first. If a video editor embeds provenance into the video itself, cleaning the cover image won’t change the video’s metadata.

Why does Instagram say “Made with AI” on my real photo?

Instagram scans uploads for C2PA metadata and XMP AI tags. If you used any AI-assisted tool (Photoshop Generative Fill, Adobe Firefly, Lightroom AI masking), those tools can embed metadata that triggers the label, even if most of the image is real.

What’s the difference between “Made with AI” and “AI Info”?

Meta renamed the label in mid‑2024. “Made with AI” became “AI Info”. Both are triggered by the same metadata signals; removing the metadata typically removes both labels.

Will removing metadata affect image quality?

No. Metadata is separate from the pixels. Cleaning it does not change visual quality, resolution, or colors; the file may only become smaller.

Can I remove AI Info from an Instagram post after posting?

Instagram does not let you strip C2PA or XMP from a post it has already ingested. Download your original export, clean the file with the metadata remover above, and publish again from the Instagram app with the cleaned image when your workflow allows.

How do I hide or delete AI Info on an Instagram post?

There is no hide or delete control in the Instagram post menu that removes AI Info while the uploaded file still contained C2PA or XMP AI markers. For new posts and Stories, clean the file before upload; for live posts, re-export, clean, and publish again when your workflow allows.
