Remove Canva AI metadata from your exports
Canva stamps its own software fields on export, and its AI features add generation markers on top. Because Canva re-exports on every download, cleaning has to happen after the final export, never before.
What lands in the file
Run the checker on a fresh export to see exactly what your version writes. Generators change what they embed between releases, and a page cannot stay accurate about that forever - your own file can.
Nothing is uploaded
Every byte is parsed in this tab. There is no server to send a file to, so there is nothing to trust us with.
Lossless by construction
JPEG, PNG, WebP and MP4 are rewritten at the container level. The image and video data is copied byte for byte.
You see what was found
Every file is inspected before and after, and each finding is named with its size. No silent operations.
No account, no limit
Fifty files at a time, any size your browser can hold, free. No sign-up wall in front of the tool.
Clean last, always
Every export step is a chance for metadata to come back. Upscalers, background removers, schedulers and design tools all rewrite the file on their way out.
Canva AI questions
What metadata does Canva AI write?
XMP software fields, EXIF software strings. Canva stamps its own software fields on export, and its AI features add generation markers on top. Because Canva re-exports on every download, cleaning has to happen after the final export, never before.
Does cleaning a Canva AI export change the image?
No. JPEG, PNG, WebP and MP4 are rewritten at the container level and the compressed data is copied byte for byte, so the decoded result is identical.
Will removing the metadata stop the AI label?
It removes the metadata-driven trigger, which is what raises the label in the great majority of cases. It has no effect on pixel watermarks or visual classifiers, and we do not claim otherwise.
Where should I run this in a Canva AI workflow?
At the very end, on the file you are about to upload. Any editor or export step after cleaning can write fresh metadata straight back in.
What each generator leaves in your file
Different tools write different things. Knowing which one produced the export tells you what to look for.

Check a file before you post it
The inspector is read-only and takes a second. If it comes back clear and a label still appears, the cause is not in the metadata -- and you will know that instead of guessing.
