Report per-file results and incomplete operations. This release removes JPEG comments/XMP, PNG text and caBX C2PA chunks, and WebP XMP. It preserves EXIF (including GPS), ICC colour profiles and source pixel data. Media IDs, filenames and URLs are retained. Each file must be local and at most 20 MB; up to 100 existing variants per attachment are checked. Missing or unsupported variants block the preview. Replacement uses a verified temporary staging file; no new attachment or permanent image copy is created. An attachment with multiple files is processed one file at a time; failures are reported and a fresh scan is required to retry. No external service, account, tracking or AI API key is required. Findings do not establish AI authorship. Provenance detection currently recognizes PNG caBX blocks and textual OpenAI/GPT references inside them; it does not validate signatures. C2PA in other formats, visible logos and pixel-domain watermarks are outside this release. It does not rewrite prose, support page-builder data, or automatically clean uploads or posts. Image metadata removal has no undo. Existing browser/CDN caches may still serve old bytes until refreshed. Pasted text is processed locally on your WordPress server without saving a post. ## Screenshots [⌊Paste text, inspect changes highlighted in red and green, and copy the cleaned result.⌉⌊Paste text, inspect changes highlighted in red and green, and copy the cleaned result.⌉[ Paste text, inspect changes highlighted in red and green, and copy the cleaned result.
