About

Bye AI

You edited a photo with AI. Nobody else needs to know that. Here's the thing: it's not your picture that gives it away. It's a hidden note buried inside the file. AI tools quietly write their name into it, sometimes save your exact prompt as plain text, and often stamp in an official "a robot made this" flag. Social media doesn't look at your photo, it just reads that note and slaps on the badge. Bye AI finds every hidden note, tells you what it gives away, and lets you delete the ones you don't want. WHAT WE FIND The official "made by AI" stamp The AI tool's fingerprint, sometimes signed more than once Your exact prompt, saved as plain text The web link your photo came from A file name that gives it away, like NanoBanana_a_cat_wearing_sunglasses_12345.png Every trace gets a real name, like "Made with ChatGPT" or "Your original prompt," plus a one-line explanation of what it reveals. Tap for more. We flag how serious each one is: Big deal: an official AI stamp Worth knowing: names an AI tool Private info: like your location Harmless: doesn't reveal anything YOU DECIDE WHAT GOES Nothing is deleted without your say-so. Pick a preset, just the AI stuff, AI stuff plus history, or everything, or go item by item. ZERO QUALITY LOSS Most apps re-save your photo to clean it, losing quality every time. Bye AI just opens the file, removes what you picked, and closes it back up. Not one pixel touched. PHOTOS, VIDEO, AND MUSIC AI leaves the same trail in generated video and audio, often more of it. Bye AI cleans all three. ONE PHOTO OR A HUNDRED Add from Photos, Files, or another app. Cleaned copies land in a "Bye AI" album. Originals never touched. BONUS: FIX OVERSIZED HDR PHOTOS Nothing to do with AI, just useful. HDR photos often look blown-out when posted elsewhere. Bye AI converts them to normal photos that look right everywhere, at basically zero quality cost. 100% PRIVATE No account. No upload. No internet connection needed. Not turned off, built so it can't happen. FREE TO TRY Bye AI is free, with one clean a week. A clean can include as many files as you like. Unlock unlimited cleans with a single $4.99 payment: no subscription, and it works on your iPhone, iPad and Mac. ONE HONEST LIMIT A few AI tools also hide an invisible pattern inside the picture or sound itself. That pattern is part of the image, not a note attached to it, so no app can remove it without damaging your file. Bye AI removes what can be removed, completely, and is upfront about the rest.
