Question 1

What is OpenAI Verify?

Accepted Answer

A free public tool from OpenAI that checks whether an uploaded image was generated by OpenAI products, by reading C2PA Content Credentials and SynthID watermark signals embedded in the file.

Question 2

Does removing metadata defeat it?

Accepted Answer

Provenance is only as strong as the chain of custody — if metadata is stripped or platforms don't preserve it, verification may fail. SynthID provides an additional in-pixel signal that's harder to remove.
