NightCafe Image Metadata
NightCafe gives you several image models, and what a download carries can depend on which one made it. Load a file to see what yours contains — the checker reads it and changes nothing.

How it works
- 1
Load the NightCafe download
Read in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

See what it carries
The signer of any credential tells you which provider's terms apply.

Decide with the facts
Know what platforms will read before you post.
One site, several models
NightCafe is a front end to image models from several providers. Some of those providers sign their output — OpenAI and Black Forest Labs both attach C2PA credentials to images from their APIs — while open models write nothing of the kind.
NightCafe has not documented what survives its own pipeline, so two NightCafe images made with different models can carry entirely different metadata. Load each file to see.
What to look for
The checker lists what a platform would read, and what you would be sharing:
- A C2PA credential — its signer names the provider that certified the image as AI.
- An IPTC digital source type declaring the image AI-generated.
- Prompt text, or Stable Diffusion-style generation parameters such as seed and sampler.
- A generator or software name in an ordinary tag.
Whose terms apply
NightCafe's terms apply to what you make there, and the provider of the model may have terms of its own: Black Forest Labs, for example, prohibits removing Content Credentials from its API output.
Because the answer differs by model, this page reads files and does not change them. Check both sets of terms before removing anything a NightCafe image carries.
What this tool does
- Shows what each NightCafe file carries, whatever model made it
- Names the signer of any credential, and so whose terms apply
- Read-only: nothing in the file is changed
What it does not do
- Does not remove anything — check NightCafe's and the model provider's terms
- Cannot detect watermarks in the pixels
- Cannot say which model made a file that carries no metadata

Frequently asked questions
Does NightCafe add metadata to images?
NightCafe has not documented it, and it can depend on the model. Load a download above to see exactly what that file carries.
Does a NightCafe image contain my prompt?
Some files may carry prompt or parameter text, depending on the model and pipeline. The checker lists it if it is there.
Can I remove metadata from NightCafe images?
Check NightCafe's terms and those of the model's provider first — some providers prohibit removing provenance from their output. This page only reads files.
Why do two NightCafe images show different metadata?
Because they may come from different models. A provider that signs its output leaves a credential; an open model typically leaves none.
Will Instagram label my NightCafe image?
If the file carries a C2PA credential or an IPTC AI declaration, expect it to. The checker shows whether either is present.
