FAQ · AI content & watermarks
Not reliably — screenshots can preserve C2PA from the source, add OS metadata, and leave invisible watermarks intact.
Not reliably. A screenshot creates a new file, so it can drop some embedded metadata, but many screenshot tools preserve C2PA Content Credentials from the source, and the operating system stamps its own device and software metadata that may still read as non-camera. Screenshotting also degrades quality and can leave invisible pixel-domain watermarks intact, since those survive re-capture. It is not a dependable way to defeat AI detection. The reliable path is to strip the full metadata container and encoder fingerprint, then inject authentic phone-capture identity so the file reads as a normal recording.
