Forensic Cleaner by Two Tensors

Remove AI

That phrase means four different things. Here is what each one is, and which of them Forensic Cleaner actually does.

Four different jobs, one phrase.

A detector score, an invisible watermark, file metadata, and editing the picture itself are four separate problems. Only some of them are ours.

Detector score

A detector scored your image as AI and you want that score down. This is what Forensic Cleaner is built for.

SynthID

Gemini and Imagen output carries an invisible Google watermark. Removing it is a separate optional stage, not part of the default clean.

File metadata

Camera, GPS, timestamps, generator tags. These go on their own, because validation converts every upload to lossless WEBP first.

The picture itself

Painting out an AI generated object or person. That is inpainting, it needs an image editor, and this product does not do it.

What actually changes in the file.

There is no AI flag to delete

Detectors do not read a hidden field marked as generated. They score statistics: frequency content, noise structure, edge behavior, compression history. Lowering a score means moving those statistics, which is why the outcome differs image to image. The step by step guide covers the settings that move it most.

A watermark is the opposite case

SynthID is a real signal, embedded deliberately by Google at generation time. It survives ordinary cropping and re-saving, so it needs its own stage rather than a harder clean, and the 1024px downscale often makes that stage more reliable. The SynthID page covers it properly.

Metadata leaves on its own

EXIF does not survive the lossless WEBP conversion, so camera model, GPS coordinates and generator tags are absent from the output. Be clear about what that is, though: a side effect of the pipeline, not a metadata editor. If EXIF is all you need gone, any export tool will do it.

One run, in order

  • Converted to lossless WEBP, which drops EXIF
  • Scored for slop, an estimate of difficulty
  • Cleaned in Strong, or gentler Quality mode
  • Optional SynthID stage on top
  • Sized to 768px free, 1024px on paid plans
  • Held in history to rerun or delete
~90% clean rate across three popular AI image detectors in our own internal testing

One number, and what it is not.

That figure comes from internal testing against three detectors that were popular when we measured, and it is not a prediction for your image. Detector vendors retrain, so a model that ignored a file in March can flag it in June. Forensic Cleaner reduces detector facing signals. It does not promise invisibility.

Run it on images you own or hold a license for. The safety guidelines list what is off limits.

The blunt one, because it is the most common wrong assumption here: Forensic Cleaner does not remove AI generated content from a picture. It will not paint out a person, fix a bad hand, or restore a photo to how it looked before something was generated into it.

What it changes is the statistical fingerprint of the file. If the picture itself is the problem, edit it elsewhere first, then clean the result here.

Common questions about removing AI.

Can Forensic Cleaner remove an AI generated object from my photo?

No. There is no inpainting and no editing surface in the product. It changes the signals a detector scores and leaves the content of the picture where it is. If the image itself needs editing, do that first and clean the result afterwards.

I do not know whether my image contains SynthID. What should I do?

If it came out of Gemini, Imagen, or another Google image model, assume it does. SynthID is embedded at generation time and invisible by eye, so looking closer will not tell you. The SynthID stage is optional, so switch it on when you are unsure.

Is stripping EXIF metadata enough to stop an image being flagged as AI?

No, and the two are barely related. EXIF is text attached to the file: camera, lens, GPS, sometimes the tool that wrote it. Detectors score the pixels. Removing metadata takes away an easy clue and does nothing to a classifier score.

Why are there separate pages for phrases that sound the same?

Because people arrive wanting different things: the workflow in order, the honest ceiling, the reasoning, or just the tool. The pipeline behind all of them is the same one.

Can I run this over a lot of images?

Pro and Scale include API access, so upload, validation, cleaning, download, and deletion run from your own code. There is no bulk upload button in the web app, and how many jobs run at once depends on your plan.
