Metadata That Midjourney Images May Contain

Midjourney downloads may contain different metadata depending on the download path and format. No single field is guaranteed, and absence of metadata does not mean an image is not from Midjourney or is not AI-generated.

EXIF, XMP, and IPTC Fields

Images may contain EXIF tags such as Software or ImageDescription, XMP properties, and IPTC fields when present. These can include descriptive text, but this tool does not interpret any Description field as a prompt, Job ID, UUID, or proof of Midjourney origin.

C2PA and DigitalSourceType Markers

An image file can carry a possible C2PA content-credentials marker when present. This tool detects the structural marker but does not cryptographically verify it. The IPTC DigitalSourceType value trainedAlgorithmicMedia is a generic self-declaration that can be added or removed by anyone and cannot identify Midjourney as the source.

How Midjourney Images Reach Your Device

The metadata embedded in a downloaded image depends on how you obtained it. Different paths can produce different file formats and metadata profiles.

Web Downloads

Images downloaded from the Midjourney website may arrive as PNG or JPEG with embedded EXIF, XMP, IPTC, or C2PA data when present. The specific fields vary by image and may change as the platform evolves.

Discord Bot Downloads

Images saved from the Midjourney Discord bot may carry different metadata than web downloads when present. Discord's own processing can also strip or alter certain fields before the file reaches your device.

What This Tool Removes

The tool strips supported metadata containers — EXIF, XMP, IPTC, and C2PA markers — without modifying compressed image data. ICC color profiles and decode-essential structures are preserved.

Lossless Metadata Removal

Compressed pixel data remains untouched. EXIF Orientation is preserved by default so your image displays correctly; you can choose to remove it. ICC color profiles and other decode-essential structures are kept intact. No re-encoding occurs.

C2PA Removal Requires Consent

C2PA markers carry content-provenance information. When a possible C2PA marker is detected, cleaning pauses and no output is produced for that image until you provide explicit consent to remove it.

Filenames and Privacy

Metadata is not the only thing that can indicate where an image came from. A source filename itself can disclose labels or identifiers when present.

Source Filenames May Disclose Origin

A filename may contain labels, identifiers, or other text that indicates where the image came from. These are visible to anyone who receives the file, regardless of whether internal metadata has been removed.

Generic Naming Option

This tool defaults to generic filenames: clean-image-<session>-01.<ext>, where the session token is a 16-character hex string generated once in your browser, never stored or reported. Files are numbered in accepted-file order. You can switch to source-derived naming (<original-name>-clean.<ext>) before downloading.

What Metadata Cleaning Cannot Do

Removing file metadata is a specific, limited operation. It is important to understand what remains unaffected.

Pixel-Level and Invisible Signals

Cleaning does not affect visible watermarks, invisible watermarks, SynthID, steganographic signals, or features that visual classifiers may detect. These exist within the image data itself and are outside the scope of metadata removal.

Platform Records and History

Midjourney maintains its own records of generated images. Removing metadata from a downloaded file does not delete the image from Midjourney's servers, your generation history, or any other external system.

AI Content Disclosure

Many jurisdictions and platforms require disclosure when content is AI-generated. Removing metadata does not change these obligations.

Disclosure Duties Remain After Cleaning

Removing metadata from an AI-generated image does not waive any legal, regulatory, or platform-specific requirement to disclose that the image was created with AI. You are responsible for meeting applicable disclosure obligations.

DigitalSourceType Is a Self-Declaration

The IPTC DigitalSourceType value trainedAlgorithmicMedia is a voluntary, generic self-declaration. It can be added or removed by anyone and does not identify Midjourney or any specific platform. Its presence or absence proves nothing about an image's origin.

How to Remove Metadata from Midjourney Images

The entire process runs locally in your browser. No files are uploaded to any server.

  1. 01

    Inspect

    Drop or select up to 3 Midjourney images (JPEG, PNG, or static WebP, 15 MB each). The tool reads and displays supported metadata fields found in each file.

  2. 02

    Clean

    Remove supported metadata losslessly with one click. Compressed image data stays untouched, and ICC color profiles are preserved. Orientation is kept by default. If a possible C2PA marker is detected, cleaning pauses until you provide explicit consent; no output is produced without it.

  3. 03

    Verify and Download

    A re-scan of the cleaned file confirms which fields were removed. Download your cleaned images with generic filenames by default, or switch to source-derived naming before downloading.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about removing metadata from Midjourney images.

Can this tool confirm whether an image was made with Midjourney?
No. This is a metadata remover, not a detection tool. It shows you what supported metadata fields are present and removes them. No metadata field can reliably confirm whether an image was generated by Midjourney, and absence of metadata does not mean an image is not AI-generated.
What is trainedAlgorithmicMedia?
It is an IPTC DigitalSourceType value — a generic, voluntary self-declaration that an image was produced by a trained algorithm. It can be added or removed by anyone and does not identify Midjourney or any specific platform.
Does the Description field contain my Midjourney prompt or Job ID?
This tool does not parse or interpret the Description field as a prompt, Job ID, UUID, or proof of Midjourney origin. It displays the raw field value when present and removes it during cleaning like any other supported metadata field.
Does cleaning change the image pixels?
No. Compressed image data is not modified. The tool removes supported metadata containers only — no re-encoding, no pixel changes, no quality loss. ICC color profiles and decode-essential structures are preserved.
What happens with C2PA content credentials?
When a possible C2PA marker is detected, cleaning pauses and the tool explains what it is. No cleaned output is produced for that image until you provide explicit consent to remove the marker. The detection is a structural marker check, not a cryptographic signature verification.
Do filenames reveal that an image came from Midjourney?
A source filename can contain labels or identifiers that, when present, may indicate where the image came from. This tool defaults to generic filenames using a one-time browser session token. You can switch to source-derived naming before downloading.
What formats and limits does this tool support?
JPEG, PNG, and static WebP. Up to 3 images per batch, 15 MB per image, 30 MB per batch. The daily limit is 10 images, shared across the homepage image tool, EXIF Remover, and this page.
Does removing metadata satisfy AI disclosure requirements?
No. Removing metadata does not waive legal, regulatory, or platform-specific obligations to disclose AI-generated content. You remain responsible for meeting all applicable disclosure requirements regardless of what metadata is present in the file.
