AI Act Article 50 disclosure checklist
Work through these points before you publish. Each one reflects a part of the EU AI Act transparency expectations for AI-generated content.
-
Is the content fully or partially AI-generated?
Article 50 transparency duties apply to content that is artificially generated or manipulated. Minor edits (colour correction, cropping) generally do not trigger the duty; substantial generation or alteration does.
-
Does it depict a real, identifiable person, place or event (a "deepfake")?
Deepfake content carries a stricter labelling expectation. The disclosure should make clear the material is synthetic and does not depict reality.
-
Is the visible disclosure shown before or as the user consumes the content?
A disclosure hidden in a footer or behind a click may not satisfy the requirement. Place the label where the user will see it at the point of consumption.
-
Is the disclosure also machine-readable (embedded metadata)?
The AI Act expects markings to be detectable by automated systems. Embedding IPTC / C2PA-style metadata in the file complements the visible badge.
-
Is the marking robust and not trivially removable?
Where technically feasible, the marking should be reasonably durable. Embedded metadata plus a visible badge together provide stronger coverage than either alone.
-
Have you kept a record of which tool and version produced the content?
Maintaining an internal record (model name, date, operator) helps demonstrate good-faith compliance if questioned.
This tool helps you produce AI content disclosures. It does not constitute legal advice and does not guarantee regulatory compliance. Consult a qualified lawyer for your specific situation.
Generate a clear, ready-to-use disclosure label and machine-readable metadata for AI-generated images, video, audio and text. Built to help you meet the EU AI Act Article 50 transparency requirement — without uploading a single file.
What this AI content disclosure tool does
As generative AI becomes part of everyday publishing, creators and businesses increasingly need to label AI-generated content clearly. This free AI content disclosure generator produces two things at once: a visible badge that people can see, and machine-readable metadata that platforms and automated systems can detect. Together they reflect the dual expectation set out in the EU AI Act — disclosure that is obvious to humans and detectable by machines.
Why labelling AI-generated content matters
The EU AI Act introduces transparency obligations for synthetic media. Under Article 50, providers and deployers of generative AI systems must ensure that artificially generated or manipulated image, audio, video and certain text content is marked as such. The obligation is intended to reduce deception, support media literacy and make so-called deepfakes identifiable. These transparency rules become applicable on 2 August 2026, and the European Commission has published draft guidance on how to implement them.
Even outside the EU, major platforms — including social networks, search engines and stock libraries — increasingly ask uploaders to disclose AI use, and some now apply their own labels automatically. Adding a clear disclosure yourself keeps you in control of how your content is described.
How to label an AI-generated image
- Choose Image as the content type above.
- Tick the deepfake option if the image shows a real, identifiable person.
- Optionally add your publisher name and upload the JPEG or PNG file.
- Click Generate disclosure.
- Copy the visible badge HTML into your page, and download the image with XMP / IPTC metadata embedded directly into the file.
The embedded metadata uses the IPTC DigitalSourceType field
with the value for trained algorithmic media — the same property
used across the publishing industry to flag AI-generated images. A
JSON-LD block is also generated so you can describe the content in your
page's structured data.
Visible badge, embedded metadata and plain text
The generator gives you three output formats. The visible badge comes in three styles (solid, soft and outline) as copy-paste HTML with inline styles, so it renders anywhere without extra CSS. The embedded metadata tab provides an XMP packet and JSON-LD, plus the in-browser file embedding for images. The plain text tab gives you a short sentence suitable for social media captions, video descriptions and image alt text.
Your files never leave your browser
Privacy is built in. When you upload an image, all reading and writing of metadata happens locally using JavaScript in your own browser. Nothing is transmitted to a server, nothing is stored, and there is no account to create. This makes the tool safe to use for client work, unpublished campaigns and sensitive material.
Who should use this tool
The disclosure generator is useful for digital marketers, content studios, news and media teams, e-commerce sellers, social media managers, stock contributors, agencies and individual creators — anyone publishing AI-assisted images, video, audio or text to audiences that include the European Union.

Publishing to social platforms?
Each major platform has its own rules for labelling AI-generated content — and its own way of applying a label if you don't. These guides explain exactly what to disclose and how, then pair with the generator above.

What is the EU AI Act Article 50 disclosure requirement?
Article 50 of the EU AI Act sets transparency obligations for AI-generated content. Providers and deployers of generative AI must ensure that synthetic image, audio, video and certain text content is marked as artificially generated or manipulated, in a way that is both visible to people and detectable by machines.
When does the AI Act transparency obligation start?
The transparency obligations under Article 50, including deepfake labelling, become applicable on 2 August 2026. The European Commission published draft implementation guidance in May 2026.
Does this tool make my content legally compliant?
No. This is a free utility that helps you produce a clear visible disclosure and embedded metadata. It does not provide legal advice or certify compliance. For your specific obligations, consult a qualified lawyer.
Is my uploaded image sent to your server?
No. All image processing — reading and writing metadata — happens entirely inside your browser. Your file never leaves your device and is never uploaded or stored.
What is the difference between the visible badge and embedded metadata?
The visible badge is a label people see. Embedded metadata is information written into the file itself (IPTC / XMP fields and a C2PA-style assertion) so automated systems and platforms can detect that the content is AI-generated. The AI Act expects both.
Which content types are supported?
The generator supports AI-generated images, video, audio and text. For images you can also download the file with metadata embedded directly. For video, audio and text you receive metadata templates and a JSON-LD snippet.
Do I need to label content if AI only made minor edits?
Generally, trivial edits such as cropping or colour correction do not trigger the obligation. Substantial generation or manipulation — including anything that makes content appear authentic when it is not — does.
Is this tool free to use?
Yes. The generator is completely free and supported by advertising. There is no signup, no account and no usage limit.
