JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC · Max 15MB · Batch up to 30 · Not GIF

Video provenance often lives in MP4 atoms and exported JPG covers.
Clean stills you upload as thumbnails.
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.

  1. Upload your export to the AI metadata checker (read-only, browser-only)
  2. Review C2PA, XMP, PNG chunks, and EXIF software strings
  3. Use the remover above with matching options enabled
  4. Download the cleaned JPG, PNG, or WebP
  5. 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 Pika exports get flagged on social platforms

Pika downloads often embed C2PA, XMP, or PNG workflow metadata that Instagram, Meta, Pinterest, and TikTok may read for automated AI disclosure.

Stripping metadata before upload removes common file-level triggers without changing pixels.

What Pika puts in your file

  • C2PA JUMBF in Pika MP4 exports
  • Cover frame JPG with XMP software tags
  • Stills grabbed from generative clips

How to remove Pika metadata before posting
