Why Stories Trigger the AI Flag
Modern creators frequently touch up Story graphics with generative fill to extend background borders or remove photobombers. The moment you export from an AI-enabled editor, signed provenance headers are embedded. Instagram reads these headers during the upload handshake, attaching the "AI Info" badge under your profile handle in the Story viewer.

Instagram Story FAQ
Do Instagram Stories get scanned for AI metadata?
Yes. Even though Stories expire after 24 hours, Instagram runs the exact same ingestion and provenance pipeline on Story uploads as regular feed posts. If C2PA manifests or SynthID watermarks are detected, the Story will display the "AI Info" tag.
Why did my real photo in my Story get marked as AI Info?
If you used mobile editing apps with AI background cleanup, generative expansion, or AI retouching tools (like Photoshop Express, Pixelmator, or Canva Magic Studio), those tools embed C2PA assertion metadata into the exported image.
Does UnlabelAI support 9:16 vertical Story dimensions?
Yes! UnlabelAI supports all aspect ratios, including vertical 9:16 (1080x1920) Story formats, carousels, and square photos. Image resolution and pixel quality are 100% preserved.
How fast can I clean a Story graphic before posting?
Because UnlabelAI processes images client-side directly in your browser RAM, sanitization and camera EXIF injection takes less than 1 second.
