Remove the Midjourney watermark from your image

Midjourney bakes prompt details and job IDs into every PNG it exports. Even when you crop the visible signature, the metadata stays. We strip all of it and inject real phone-capture identity in its place.

What Midjourney writes into every export

PNG iTXt metadata chunks
Midjourney stores the prompt + job ID inside the PNG itself, readable by any tool.
XMP CreatorTool tag
Tags itself as the creator software.
EXIF Software field set to Midjourney version
Visible in any photo viewer.
XMP DigitalSourceType flag
Standard trainedAlgorithmicMedia AI tag in newer exports.

Which platforms scan for it

Midjourney content gets detected by: Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, Reddit, Stock photo sites. Each platform has its own scanner — but they all look for the same signatures.

How Calabi removes it

  1. Strip the metadata container — ExifTool wipe of every group, including the Content Credentials JUMBF block.
  2. Break invisible patterns — controlled re-encode with light noise injection defeats pixel-domain watermarks.
  3. Strip the encoder fingerprint — bitstream filter removes the editor's signature so the file's encoding profile matches a real phone.
  4. Inject phone identity — Make / Model / Software / GPS / capture timestamp written across every metadata field.
  5. Forensic proof card — same scan platforms use, run on the output. Green pill = clean.
3 free cleans. No card. See the proof before you download.

Frequently asked

How do I remove the Midjourney watermark?

Upload your file at calabilabs.com/app. The pipeline strips Midjourney's PNG iTXt metadata chunks, generator metadata, and encoder signatures, then injects authentic phone-capture identity. The forensic proof card shows you exactly what was removed before you download.

Does the Midjourney watermark survive cropping or re-encoding?

Yes — that's why it's so hard to defeat with consumer tools. The watermark is embedded in the file's metadata container and encoded into the bitstream. Neither survives a regular crop or basic re-encode unless the tool specifically targets them.

Will the cleaned file still look the same?

Yes. The visible content is preserved. Changes happen at the metadata level (invisible) and at the pixel level (imperceptibly small noise + perspective shifts that defeat fingerprinting but never affect what you actually see).

Which platforms detect Midjourney content?

Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, Reddit, Stock photo sites all scan for Midjourney's watermark signatures before a human ever sees the post.
