Your photos carry hidden data: AI tags that get them labeled "Made with AI," plus GPS location, device info and timestamps. TagWipe finds it all and removes it — EXIF, C2PA Content Credentials, even the tag iPhone's Clean Up eraser leaves behind. WHY YOUR PHOTOS GET FLAGGED Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and LinkedIn read embedded provenance metadata (C2PA, IPTC, XMP) at upload and add "Made with AI" / "AI Info" labels automatically. Editing tools like Photoshop Generative Fill, Firefly and Lightroom AI masking add these tags even to mostly-real photos. Even iPhone's built-in Clean Up eraser quietly writes "Modified with Clean Up" into your photo's info. TagWipe removes that embedded data so your photo is just a photo again. WHAT IT CLEANS • C2PA / Content Credentials provenance manifests • Apple Photos "Modified with Clean Up" credit tags • XMP DigitalSourceType and AI-generator EXIF tags (Midjourney, DALL·E, Firefly, and more) • Stable Diffusion & ComfyUI generation parameters baked into PNGs • GPS / location EXIF, camera model, timestamps and other hidden data FEATURES • Choose photos to clean without granting full access to your photo library • Batch clean your whole selection in one pass • On-device only — your photos are never uploaded • Save a clean copy or replace the original • Optional: strip GPS/location EXIF for privacy • iOS Shortcuts support to automate cleaning (Pro) FREE + PRO Clean single photos free. Bulk clean with a quick rewarded ad, or unlock Pro to remove ads and use iOS Shortcuts automation. A NOTE ON HONESTY This app removes embedded metadata and provenance tags. It does not remove invisible pixel watermarks (e.g. SynthID) that some generators add — no metadata tool can. Use it to clean the data attached to your files, not to guarantee an image can never be identified as AI.
