How to post Midjourney images on Reddit without getting flagged
Reddit's platform filters and subreddit automod increasingly remove posts that carry AI metadata, Content Credentials, or generator tags. Midjourney ships with exactly the signals Reddit looks for. Strip every one and post clean.
Strip the PNG iTXt metadata chunks
Midjourney stores the prompt + job ID inside the PNG itself, readable by any tool. Calabi removes this automatically — no manual ExifTool work.
Strip the XMP CreatorTool tag
Tags itself as the creator software. Calabi removes this automatically — no manual ExifTool work.
Strip the EXIF Software field set to Midjourney version
Visible in any photo viewer. Calabi removes this automatically — no manual ExifTool work.
Strip the XMP DigitalSourceType flag
Standard trainedAlgorithmicMedia AI tag in newer exports. Calabi removes this automatically — no manual ExifTool work.
Inject authentic phone identity
Calabi writes a real Make / Model / Software / GPS / capture-timestamp so the file presents as a normal phone recording, not an AI export.
Verify, then post to Reddit
Check the forensic proof card — it lists every signal stripped and injected — then upload to Reddit clean.
Stop guessing. Calabi automates every step above — 10 free cleans, forensic proof on each.

Why this matters now
AI detection on social platforms in 2026 is no longer a coin flip. Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Twitter/X, and Reddit all run automated scanners on every upload before a human moderator sees it. The flag-rate on raw AI output is approaching 100% for the major generators (Sora, Veo, Kling, Midjourney). The only path forward is full sanitization — strip every signal, inject authentic phone identity, verify before posting.
