Adobe Firefly Image Checker
Inspect images generated with Adobe Firefly or modified with Photoshop Generative Fill for C2PA Content Credentials and XMP provenance tags.
Adobe Firefly & CAI Integration:
Adobe automatically embeds cryptographic Content Credentials into Firefly exports and Photoshop Generative Fill outputs. Our checker parses these provenance manifests directly in browser memory.

Content Credentials in the Adobe Ecosystem
Adobe is a founding member of the Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI) and the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA). When you generate an image in Adobe Firefly or use Generative Fill in Photoshop, cryptographic tamper-evident manifests are appended to the container:
Cryptographically signed assertions verifying that algorithmic tools were used during creation or editing.
IPTC digitalSourceType attributes, credit fields, and editing history logs identifying Photoshop or Firefly.
Public-key certificate chains verifying that the credential was signed by Adobe's authorized signing servers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exact metadata does Adobe Firefly embed in exported images?
Adobe Firefly embeds C2PA Content Credentials inside a JUMBF (JPEG Universal Metadata Box Format) container. This includes cryptographic assertions declaring that generative AI was utilized, digital source type attributes ('trainedAlgorithmicMedia' per IPTC Photo Metadata standards), the generator tool name, timestamp, and an X.509 digital signature issued by Adobe.
Does Photoshop Generative Fill attach the same Content Credentials?
Yes. When you use Generative Fill, Generative Expand, or Firefly-powered features in Adobe Photoshop, the exported asset records an edit action manifest in the C2PA store. It also writes XMP history entries and software tags identifying Adobe Photoshop and the generative modules used.
Will social platforms flag Adobe Firefly images with 'AI info' badges?
Yes. Major platforms including Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok have integrated C2PA validation into their ingestion pipelines. If an image contains intact Adobe Content Credentials indicating generative origin, these platforms automatically attach their respective AI disclosure labels.
Does stripping Adobe Content Credentials degrade the image quality?
No. Our cleaner performs lossless container-level removal. It removes the C2PA JUMBF segment (APP11 in JPEG or 'c2pa' chunks in PNG) and sanitizes generative XMP namespaces without re-encoding the compressed pixels or touching ICC color profiles.
How can I verify that Adobe Content Credentials were completely removed?
After downloading the cleaned file from our tool, you can re-run it through this checker or test it against official C2PA validation tools like verify.contentauthenticity.org. The second-pass verification confirms that the supported C2PA manifests and generative metadata tags are no longer detected.
