CleanAi clears the hidden metadata from your own photos and videos before you share them. Every file carries more than the image. Camera and editing apps write EXIF data: device, location, timestamps. AI tools write C2PA content credentials and generator signatures into the file itself. Platforms read this data on upload — it's how they know where a file came from, and how they decide to add an AI disclosure label to your post. CleanAi re-encodes your file natively through Apple's CoreImage and AVFoundation, the same frameworks the Camera and Photos apps use. The new copy carries none of the old file's metadata or credentials. Resolution and bitrate are preserved, with no visible quality loss. HOW IT WORKS Pick a photo or video, tap Clean, save the copy to your camera roll, then post it as usual. A photo takes about a second, a short video a few seconds. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Photo and video cleaning runs entirely on your iPhone. No upload, no cloud step, no account required, and no server ever sees your media. NEW: CLEAN YOUR TEXT Paste a caption, a description or a short post, up to 2,000 characters, and get a lightly reworded version. The meaning, tone, facts, names, numbers and links are preserved; only a few words and turns of phrase change. Not quite right? Tap Rewrite again. Text cleaning is processed by a third-party AI service, with your consent, and CleanAi never stores your text. WHAT IT DOES - Removes C2PA content credentials and generator signatures - Removes EXIF, location and device metadata - Works on photos and videos, with optional crop and trim - Lightly rewords your text while keeping its meaning and facts - Batch clean several files at once with Pro WHAT IT DOES NOT DO It does not touch posts already published, does not connect to any platform, and does not alter watermarks embedded in the pixels themselves. CleanAi only works on media you own and have the right to modify. WORTH KNOWING TikTok and Meta both state that the AI label is a disclosure, not a ranking factor. What it changes is how your work reads to someone scrolling past it. PLANS - Free: 5 cleans - Starter (15 cleans) and Creator (50 cleans): one-time credit packs, credits never expire. A clean works on a photo, a video or a text - Pro: unlimited photo & video cleans, up to 100 text cleans per day, and batch mode, monthly auto-renewable subscription Privacy Policy: https://www.cleanaiapp.com/privacy-policy Terms of Use: https://www.cleanaiapp.com/terms

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: CleanAi at every 3 weeks against Chromify Studio's every 2 months. CleanAi also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
