Amazon says to tag
- Photorealistic people
- The people were entirely generated by AI
- The media is being uploaded where Amazon requires the disclosure
AMAZON IMAGE WORKFLOW / EXP-002
Check the AI-person metadata before you upload.
Amazon currently requires a specific XMP keyword when a product image contains a photorealistic person entirely generated by AI. Drop in a JPEG or PNG to see whether the exact tag is already there. If it is missing, this tool can add it without re-encoding the image pixels.

Independent utility. BLANK Tools is not affiliated with or endorsed by Amazon. This tool checks and writes metadata only; it does not decide whether your image qualifies as AI-generated people and does not guarantee listing approval.
Metadata checkerRuns on your device
Drop a JPEG or PNG
We inspect XMP metadata locally. The image is not uploaded.
Required keyword
Privacy: image bytes, filenames and metadata are not sent to BLANK analytics. Only anonymous experiment events such as “checked”, “tag added” or “downloaded” may be counted.
WHEN TO USE THE TAG
The file check is simple. The policy decision is yours.
Amazon's current guidance says to use the tag when the image features a photorealistic person who was entirely generated by AI. It also lists cases where the tag should not be applied.
Amazon says not to tag
- Real people, even if edited with AI tools
- Characters from movies, games or other expressive works
- Images with no people
- People who are not photorealistic
Policies can change. Before publishing high-impact catalog content, verify the current Amazon guidance linked above.
HOW THIS TOOL WORKS
No pixel changes. Only the metadata packet.
Read the file structure
We identify JPEG or PNG from its file signature and look for XMP metadata.
Write the exact keyword
If you choose to add it, the tool inserts the exact value into XMP dc:subject while preserving image pixels.
Read it back
The download button appears only after the modified file is parsed again and the exact tag is found.
FAQ
What this experiment does — and does not do.
Does the tool detect whether a person is AI-generated?
No. It only inspects and writes the metadata. Determining whether Amazon's rule applies to the image remains a human policy decision.
Does adding metadata change image quality?
The MVP does not decode and re-encode the image pixels. It edits the metadata container for supported JPEG and PNG files, then verifies the tag by reading the generated file again.
What if my file is WebP, HEIC, TIFF or video?
This first experiment supports JPEG and PNG only. Unsupported files are left unchanged. Broader format support will only be added if real search/use data justifies it.
Will this make my Amazon listing compliant?
No tool can promise that. This utility helps with the exact metadata step described in Amazon's current guidance; your media and listing still need to meet Amazon's other requirements.
