Midjourney writes rich XMP into downloads — prompts, seeds, and model hints.
Social platforms read those blocks for automated AI labels. Strip them here before you upload.
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
- 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
None of that needs to travel with the file when you publish to a social feed — it is production metadata, not display metadata.
Midjourney vs Stable Diffusion vs DALL·E
Midjourney is XMP-heavy. Stable Diffusion / ComfyUI often stuffs workflow JSON into PNG text chunks. DALL·E frequently ships C2PA manifests. Your remover settings should match the tool chain — enable PNG chunk removal when you flatten Comfy graphs to PNG, and C2PA removal when mixing OpenAI exports.

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 metadata checker to confirm XMP is gone.
- Upload to Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, or TikTok.

FAQ
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.
