Midjourney writes rich XMP into downloads — prompts, seeds, and model hints.
Upload-prep: social platforms read those blocks for automated AI labels — clean before you post.
Use on files you own; follow platform rules — disclaimer.
Recommended workflow: metadata checker → remover
Each AI exporter leaves different fingerprints in your file. Inspect read-only before you strip fields — then use the remover on this page for the upload you will publish.
- Step 1 — inspect your file: AI metadata checker.
- Upload your export to the AI metadata checker (read-only, browser-only)
- Review C2PA, XMP, PNG chunks, and EXIF software strings
- Use the remover above with matching options enabled
- Download the cleaned JPG, PNG, or WebP
- Upload to Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, TikTok, or LinkedIn
After Photoshop, Canva, or compositing
A raw AI download is not automatically upload-ready. Generative Fill, Canva AI backgrounds, or compositing can add C2PA or IPTC AI fields on top of the original export. Always clean the final flat raster you publish — not intermediate layers or PSD masters.
Why Midjourney files get flagged on Instagram and Pinterest
Midjourney is not "secretly watermarking" your pixels in the usual sense — it is embedding structured XMP that names the workflow. Meta's stack is widely reported to look for that class of metadata.
Pinterest likewise may treat XMP AI fields and related software tags as strong GenAI signals. Removing those blocks removes a common file-level trigger without touching image quality.
What is inside a typical Midjourney export
None of that needs to travel with the file when you publish to a social feed — it is production metadata, not display metadata.
- XMP dc:creator / xmpMM history pointing at Midjourney
- Generation parameters (prompt fragments, stylize, chaos)
- Seed and job identifiers useful for reproducibility
- Software EXIF strings that identify the exporter
Midjourney vs Stable Diffusion vs DALL·E
Midjourney is XMP-heavy. Match remover settings to your toolchain:
- Stable Diffusion / ComfyUI often stuffs workflow JSON into PNG text chunks.
- DALL·E frequently ships C2PA manifests.

Step-by-step: clean a Midjourney image
- Upscale or save the exact asset you will publish.
- Upload to the tool above; keep XMP and EXIF software removal enabled.
- Download the cleaned file.
- Optional: run the metadata checker to confirm XMP is gone.
- Upload to Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, or TikTok.
Long-form guide
- See how to remove Midjourney metadata for screenshot-style explanations and edge cases (upscale chains, third-party editors, batch exports).
What this tool removes (Midjourney)
- XMP generation parameters and history
- EXIF software strings
- Optional C2PA when mixed into another pipeline
- PNG text chunks if you saved via SD tools
Does not remove pixel watermarks. See disclaimer .
FAQ
What metadata does Midjourney put in downloaded images?
PNG and JPEG exports typically include XMP blocks with generation parameters: prompt text, model or version hints, seed, job identifiers, and related software tags. Those fields are what Instagram, Pinterest, and Meta often read for automated AI disclosure.
Does upscaling or variation change what is embedded?
Each download path can still attach XMP. Always run the final raster you will publish — not an intermediate grid — through the remover.
Will removing XMP hurt image quality?
No. XMP lives beside the pixel data. Stripping it does not change resolution, color, or visible detail.
Do WebP or AVIF exports from Midjourney behave differently?
Container matters less than whether XMP/EXIF is still present. Always inspect the exact format you plan to upload.
I composited Midjourney into a photo in Photoshop — am I safe?
Not automatically. Photoshop generative workflows can add C2PA or IPTC AI fields. Flatten and run the final export through the remover.
