How to Disclose AI-Generated Content in a Caption or on an Image
When you post or sell something made with generative AI, a short line saying what the AI did and what you did helps viewers, buyers, and clients know what they are looking at. Writing that line from scratch for every post, on every platform, takes more time than it should.
This generator builds it for you. Choose the content type, how much AI was involved, the tools you used, and where you are posting. You get a short caption for social posts, a longer version for blogs and shop listings, and a YouTube description block. You can also download a small PNG label to place in the corner of an image.
It covers the usual questions: what to write under AI art, how to credit ChatGPT or Claude in an article, and how to describe work you generated and then reworked by hand.
Common Situations for Labeling AI Work
Posting AI art on social media or art sites
Get a short caption for X, Instagram, or TikTok, plus a small PNG label to place in a corner of the image.
Publishing text drafted with ChatGPT or Claude
Add a line to a blog post, newsletter, or article that matches how much of the text you rewrote yourself.
Selling AI-assisted work in an online shop
Write a plain disclosure line for a product listing and name the tools you used, so buyers know what to expect.
Entering a contest or delivering client work
When an entry form or a client asks which AI tools you used, list them in the caption and reuse the same wording everywhere.
How to Create an AI Label in 4 Steps
- Choose the content type: image, text, video, or audio.
- Pick how much AI was involved, from fully AI-generated to AI for ideas or drafts only.
- Select the AI tools you used. You can pick several and type another tool name.
- Choose where you are posting. The caption and the label update as you change the settings.
Note: Copy the caption with one click. For the label, set the text, color, size, and opacity, then download it as a PNG.
Before You Publish: What to Check
- This is not legal advice. The captions are templates based on common practice. They do not guarantee that you meet the rules of a platform, marketplace, or contest. Check the current guidelines of the place you are posting.
- You choose the involvement level. The tool cannot tell how you made your work, so pick the level that matches what you actually did.
- Label text is limited to 18 characters. Longer text is shrunk to fit inside the label.
- Check the label against your image. Try the preview backgrounds and different colors, then place the downloaded PNG over your real image before you publish.
- Everything runs in your browser. The caption text and the label image are created on your device and are not sent to a server.
AI Involvement Levels and Suggested Wording
These are the four levels in the tool and the sentence each one produces for an image. Use them as a guide if you write your own.
| Level | Caption wording | Typical case |
|---|---|---|
| Fully AI-generated | This image was generated with AI. | Prompt-only output with no human edits |
| AI-generated, heavily edited | This image was created with AI and then substantially edited by a person. | An AI image you repainted or retouched, or AI text you rewrote heavily |
| Partly made with AI | This image includes elements made with generative AI. | AI used for a background or a single element |
| AI for ideas or drafts only | This image was made mostly by a person, with AI used only to help with outlines and drafts. | Brainstorming, outlines, or rough drafts |
What the tool outputs for each place you post
- X, Instagram, TikTok: a short caption, with optional hashtags on a second line.
- YouTube description: a two-line block with an "AI disclosure" heading and one sentence.
- Online shop listing: a sentence that starts with "AI disclosure:" and refers to the item in the listing.
- Blog or website: the same sentence plus a note that it is shared for transparency.
Whether a disclosure is required, and what it must say, depends on the platform or contest. Check its current guidelines before you publish.
Wording Tips: AI-Generated vs. AI-Assisted
A few practical points on choosing words and placing the label.
Why creators add an AI note
Some platforms, marketplaces, and contests ask creators to say when AI was involved. Even where nothing is required, a short, plain line tells viewers what they are looking at and avoids questions later. It is easier to write it as you post than to explain it after someone asks.
AI-generated or AI-assisted?
AI-generated fits work that came straight out of a prompt. AI-assisted fits AI output that you edited, repainted, or rewrote in a major way. Using AI for one small element, or only for ideas and outlines, is a different case again. The four levels in the tool follow that split, so the wording says what actually happened.
Hashtags and caption placement
A disclosure does not need to read like a warning. A single line at the end of the caption works well. With hashtags turned on, the tool adds two on a separate line: one for the content type (such as #AIart or #AIwriting) and one for the level (#AIGenerated, or #AIAssisted for the other three levels).
Label size, color, and placement
Put the label in a bottom corner, small enough to leave the artwork alone and large enough to read. The tool offers Small, Medium, and Large, which are 140, 180, and 220 px wide on screen. Light and Dark give the strongest contrast. Outline is a more subtle look that can be hard to read over bright images. The default opacity is 90%, and lowering it makes the label less noticeable and harder to read.
Common Labeling Mistakes and Fixes
Calling heavily edited work simply "AI-generated"
You used an AI image as a base, then repainted most of it, but the caption only says "AI-generated." Viewers get a wrong idea of how the piece was made. The opposite mistake is posting prompt-only work with no mention of AI.

Using one caption on every platform
A long blog-style disclosure can fill a short post, and a casual one-liner can look out of place on a shop listing.

Leaving out the tool names a contest or client asks for
The entry rules ask which AI tools you used, but the caption only says "made with AI." The entry can be flagged as incomplete.
💡 See the solution▼
Placing a label that disappears into the image
A light label on a bright image, or a very low opacity setting, can leave the text hard to read once it sits on the artwork.

AI Label and Caption FAQ
Q.Is it legally required to label AI-generated content?
A. It depends on where you publish, who you sell to, and which platform or contest you use. Rules differ by country and by platform, and they change over time. This tool does not give legal advice. It writes disclosure wording based on common practice. Before you publish, check the current policy of the platform, marketplace, or contest, or ask a legal professional if the stakes are high.
Q.Should I disclose AI use if I edited the output heavily?
A. Platform and contest rules vary on this, so check the one you are posting to. The tool offers four levels so the wording can match how you actually worked: fully AI-generated, AI-generated and heavily edited, partly made with AI, and AI for ideas or drafts only. If you are unsure which level fits, pick the one that credits AI more. Overstating your own contribution is the riskier mistake.
Q.What does the downloaded label image look like?
A. It is a pill-shaped label saved as a PNG, with nothing behind it, so it sits cleanly on top of your image in any editor. You can choose a Light, Dark, or Outline color, three sizes (140, 180, or 220 px wide on screen), and an opacity from 40% to 100%. The file is drawn at 3x the on-screen size, so the medium label downloads at 540 by 168 px. Your artwork is never uploaded, because the tool only draws the label.
Q.Do I need different wording for X, Instagram, and YouTube?
A. Usually, yes. A long disclosure can crowd a short post, while a shop listing or blog post has room for a fuller sentence. Pick where you are posting and the tool switches between a short caption (X, Instagram, TikTok), a YouTube description block, and a longer version for shop listings and blogs. The character counter compares the text to reference limits of 280 for X, 2,200 for Instagram, and 5,000 for YouTube. Platforms can change their limits, so confirm the current number before you rely on it.
Q.Do I have to name the AI tools I used?
A. No, the tool works without them. Naming tools is optional, but some contests and clients ask for it, and it tells readers exactly what was used. Pick the tools from the chips, or type another name. Several tools are listed in the order you selected them, separated by commas.
Q.Is anything I enter sent to a server?
A. No. The caption text and the label image are both created in your browser with JavaScript and the Canvas API. Your selections are not uploaded or stored.
Q.How is this different from C2PA or Content Credentials?
A. C2PA (Content Credentials) attaches provenance information, such as which tool created a file, to the file itself so software can check it. This tool does not read or write file metadata. It produces text that people read in a caption and a visible label placed on an image. To inspect the metadata inside a file, use a separate C2PA or Content Credentials viewer.
