I need to remove IPTC DigitalSourceType so the file doesn’t declare how it was created or sourced.

This feature removes the IPTC DigitalSourceType metadata from a file so it no longer declares how the content was created or sourced. It helps ensure exported or shared files do not contain that specific provenance indicator.

This feature strips the IPTC DigitalSourceType field from a file’s metadata to prevent the file from stating how it was created or where it came from. It is intended for situations where you want to minimize provenance-related metadata while keeping the underlying media content unchanged. By removing DigitalSourceType, users can reduce the chance that recipients or downstream systems infer creation method or sourcing from that IPTC tag. This can be useful for privacy-sensitive workflows, redistribution scenarios, or standardizing metadata across assets from mixed origins. The operation targets the IPTC DigitalSourceType field specifically, rather than broadly deleting all metadata. It supports preparing deliverables where clients, publishers, or platforms prefer or require that this field be absent. It can also help avoid inconsistent DigitalSourceType values introduced by different tools in a production pipeline. The result is a file that no longer declares its creation/sourcing method via IPTC DigitalSourceType while remaining otherwise suitable for normal viewing and use.
