AI file metadata triggers an automatic AI label
TikTok may add a label or a warning to the video.
Free, no account: paste your caption and hashtags and see what TikTok may flag, in seconds.
What triggers it
The uploaded file carries C2PA Content Credentials saying it was made or edited with AI, or it was made with TikTok AI tools. TikTok reads this and labels the video as AI-generated automatically; it also uses its own detection models and invisible watermarks.
What TikTok says
“We also use a cross-industry technology called C2PA Content Credentials, which embeds metadata into content that lets us—as well as other platforms who use C2PA—know when something is AI-generated.”
How to fix it
Nothing to fix if the content is AI; turn on the AI label yourself. If the AI use was trivial and you don't want the label, re-export from the original non-AI source.
Can FYProof spot it?
A check doesn't look for this one. What a check finds is an estimate, not a guarantee.
- Video: not for this rule
- Speech: not for this rule
- On-screen text: not for this rule
- Caption: not for this rule
- Hashtags: not for this rule
It doesn't read details stored inside the file, such as labels an editing app adds.
