A local-first toolbox, not a generic upload site

What this project is

CreatorPrivacyKit is an independent creator toolbox. There is no invented office history, no fabricated expert board, and no claim that we certify other people’s files.

The flagship tool is Metadata Cleaner on the homepage: inspect and strip supported C2PA, EXIF, GPS, XMP and container metadata from JPG, PNG, WEBP, MP4 and MOV in this browser tab.

The rest of the kit covers jobs that creators actually hit: AI image provenance signals, local video compression, local OCR, a local PDF toolkit, an on-device text assistant, and a Telegram appeal drafting helper.

Local-first, with named exceptions

“Local-first” is an architecture choice, not a slogan. File bytes for Metadata Cleaner, Local OCR, Local PDF Toolkit, and Video Compressor are processed in the browser. They are not uploaded to a CreatorPrivacyKit processing API.

Named exceptions, only after an explicit user action:

• AI Image Origin Detector — local inspection stays in the tab. Optional “Verify with OpenAI” sends the selected image through the CreatorPrivacyKit Worker to OpenAI’s content provenance API (C2PA / SynthID). Fetching a remote image URL also uses the Worker, transiently, without storing the file.
• Private AI Text Assistant — Privacy Scan runs without a model download. Optional MiniCPM5-2B inference runs in the browser after the user chooses to fetch the model weights.
• Telegram Ban Appeal — the draft is built in the browser. Sending mail or opening Telegram is the user’s own action.

If a page says “no upload”, that claim applies to that tool’s default path. It does not mean every button on the site is offline.

What we will not claim

Cleaning metadata does not remove invisible pixel-domain watermarks such as SynthID.

A missing C2PA or SynthID signal is not proof that an image is human-made.

We do not promise Instagram, X, TikTok, or search-ranking outcomes. Platforms can relabel, recompress, or ignore file-level credentials.

HEIC/HEIF iPhone originals are not a supported Metadata Cleaner input today. Export JPEG/PNG/WEBP first, or see the methodology notes.

Editorial principles

Tool pages describe the current implementation, including limits.

Articles prefer primary sources: official platform docs, standards text, and measurements we can reproduce in a browser. Community reports stay labeled as such.

When a platform limit or a tool behavior changes, we update the relevant page and its dateModified. CSS, header, or spelling tweaks do not by themselves bump article dates.

Corrections: if we get a factual claim wrong, we fix the page and, for a material error, note the change on that page. There is no separate press office.
