Remove Midjourney Metadata

Since late 2025, every Midjourney download carries your prompt, its parameters, the job ID and your username. See exactly what yours holds before you share it — and remove it.

How it works

  1. 1

    Load the download

    The file is read in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

  2. 2

    See your prompt and username

    The Description, Author and AI flag are listed exactly as stored.

  3. 3

    Remove and verify

    The cleaned copy is re-read and the result shown before you download it.

What a Midjourney download carries

Midjourney began writing generation metadata into downloads in late 2025, and single and batch downloads now carry the same fields:

  • Description — the complete prompt, every parameter such as --ar and --stylize, and the job ID, as one block of text.
  • Digital image GUID — the job ID again, as a unique identifier.
  • Author — your Midjourney username.
  • Creation time — when the image was generated.
  • IPTC digital source type — set to trainedAlgorithmicMedia, the standard flag declaring an image AI-generated.

What sharing the file shares

Send someone a Midjourney PNG and you send them how you made it: the prompt you may have spent hours refining, its parameters, and the name of the account that made it. Anyone with a metadata viewer can read all of it in seconds.

There is no setting in Midjourney to leave it out. Downloads from before late 2025 carry none of this, which is why older advice says Midjourney embeds nothing.

What platforms read from it

Midjourney does not sign images with C2PA, so LinkedIn shows no CR badge and TikTok has no credential to read. The IPTC flag is different: Meta reads IPTC AI declarations, so Instagram and Facebook can label a Midjourney image from it, and Pinterest reads IPTC metadata as well.

Removing the flag removes that input, not the image's origin. Platforms run other checks, and their rules on presenting AI images as real apply whatever the file says.

Clean after the last edit

If you upscale, crop or colour-grade a Midjourney image, the editor adds its own records — Photoshop writes an XMP packet with a document ID and edit history, and phone editors add device details. Clean the final export, not the raw download, or the next save writes new records back in.

What this tool does

  • Keeps your prompt, parameters and username out of images you share
  • Removes editor records added after generation as well
  • Lossless: the image is not re-compressed, which matters for upscaled output

What it does not do

  • Cannot remove your prompt from Midjourney's own gallery or account history
  • Does not affect visual AI classifiers or any platform's other checks
  • Older downloads may have nothing to remove — that is a correct result

Frequently asked questions

Does Midjourney put the prompt in the image file?

Yes, since late 2025. The full prompt, its parameters and the job ID sit in the file's Description field, and your username is stored as the Author. Load a download above to see yours.

Can someone find my prompt from a Midjourney image I shared?

Yes, if you shared the original file: any metadata viewer shows the Description field. Removing the metadata before sharing keeps the prompt and your username out of the copy.

Why does my older Midjourney image show no prompt?

Downloads from before late 2025 carry no generation metadata. Midjourney started embedding it then, so older files and newer ones genuinely differ.

Do Midjourney images have C2PA content credentials?

No. Midjourney declares AI generation with an unsigned IPTC flag rather than a signed C2PA manifest. The tool reports and removes the flag along with the rest.

Will Instagram label a Midjourney image as AI?

It can: Meta reads IPTC AI declarations, and Midjourney sets one. Removing metadata removes that input, but platform rules on presenting AI images as real still apply.

Why does my Midjourney file show a Photoshop tag?

Because Photoshop wrote it when you saved. Editors add their own XMP records — document ID, edit history, sometimes your name — on top of Midjourney's.

Is the image quality affected?

No. Removal is done at the container level, so the compressed image data is copied across untouched and the picture is byte-identical.
