Stable Diffusion / PNG Info

Remove Stable Diffusion prompt metadata

Inspect PNG Info, EXIF, XMP and C2PA for prompts, seeds, model details and generation settings. Export a clean local copy without the sections you select.

CONTEXT / EVIDENCE

The interface writes metadata, not the model alone

Stable Diffusion is a model family; the application that saves the image decides which fields travel with it. AUTOMATIC1111 documents that its PNG Info feature adds generation parameters to a PNG text chunk so they can be restored later.

Those parameters can include a prompt, negative prompt, seed, sampler, steps, CFG and model details. Other interfaces and export formats use different fields, so ClearTags inspects the file before offering selective cleanup.

What may be exposed

C2PA · EXIF · XMP · CONTAINER
PNG INFO

Generation parameters

A text chunk may contain positive and negative prompts, seed, sampler, steps and CFG settings.

APP

Model and workflow details

Model hashes, LoRA names, software versions or local naming conventions can reveal a production setup.

VARIES

Exporter behavior

A different Stable Diffusion UI, extension or JPEG/WebP export may store less, more or no readable generation metadata.

WORKFLOW / LOCAL COPY
  1. 01

    Choose the publishing copy

    Inspect the final image after upscaling, retouching and format conversion.

  2. 02

    Review parameters

    Look for prompt, negative prompt, seed, model, PNG text, EXIF, XMP and C2PA.

  3. 03

    Remove prompt-bearing sections

    For a supported PNG, remove comments and text fields while preserving the encoded image data.

  4. 04

    Verify the output

    Inspect the clean derivative again and keep the parameter-rich original privately if you need reproducibility.
