Video exports carry history
Editors, upscalers, caption tools, and generators can leave software or provenance data inside the final video file.
A reel can carry hidden AI signals in the video, cover image, or export history. Process owned reel assets before upload when accidental Content Credentials, C2PA data, or AI metadata could trigger AI Info.

Meta says AI Info can come from creator disclosure or industry-standard AI indicators. A reel has more moving parts than a single photo, so the relevant signal may be in the video, cover image, or export path.
Editors, upscalers, caption tools, and generators can leave software or provenance data inside the final video file.
A reel cover created or edited with AI can include Content Credentials even when the video itself came from a camera.
If the reel is fully generated or materially changed with AI, follow Instagram disclosure rules instead of treating the label as accidental metadata.
Process the final MP4 or MOV and the selected cover image separately. Both use the same upload, account-limit, processing, and download experience as the main RemoveSynthID tool.
Start with the exact reel asset Instagram will receive rather than an earlier edit or screenshot.
Process each final asset before Instagram has a chance to inspect the reel upload.
Use the result when accidental file markers were the source of AI Info, and keep required disclosure.
Use the tool for reel assets you own or are authorized to process when the file history does not match the visible creative work.
Process clips, thumbnails, and AI-assisted edits before the final reel goes live.
Prepare campaign reels and authorized UGC edits with a repeatable final-file check.
Check outputs after upscaling, retouching, captioning, reframing, or resizing reel assets.
Meta says AI Info can be based on creator disclosure or industry-shared indicators that travel with uploaded media.
Use this workflow for accidental file-level markers on reel assets you own. Keep disclosure when the video or cover is generated or materially altered in a way viewers need to understand.
Answers about reel videos, cover images, file types, reposting, and disclosure.
Instagram can show AI Info when a reel video, cover image, or edited media file carries creator disclosure, AI signals, C2PA records, or Content Credentials.
Process the final reel video and cover image before upload. If the reel is already live, prepare new copies from the source assets and repost when that fits your workflow.
Check both separately. Reels can include a video file and a selected cover image, and either asset can carry its own metadata or provenance records.
The shared tool accepts JPEG, PNG, WebP, MP4, WebM, and MOV files up to 50 MB. Image files use the current removal pipeline; videos follow the existing video preview and download flow.
The workflow can process files you own, but it should not be used to avoid required disclosure for fully generated or materially altered media. Follow Instagram rules for the content itself.
Open the remover page that matches the platform and format you plan to publish.
Use the RemoveSynthID upload flow for the final reel video and cover image, processing each asset separately.
