What's the difference between AI-generated and AI-enhanced labels?
PrismPoster uses two visible labels. Fully generated work reads "AI-generated with PrismPoster." Work you edited with Magic Edit reads "AI-enhanced." The label reflects what happened to the file: if AI produced the content from scratch, it's generated; if AI changed an existing image, it's enhanced. Both labels are mandatory, both ship on every export and every plan, and both come with the same embedded provenance metadata. Neither can be turned off.
When does my export get the "AI-generated" label?
You get the "AI-generated with PrismPoster" label when the content was produced from a prompt or source rather than edited from an existing file. That covers text-to-image work in Image Studio, text-to-video and image-to-video in Video Studio, tracks from Music Studio, and videos built from a Storyboard Studio board. These outputs are wholly AI-made, so they carry the generated label.
When does my export get the "AI-enhanced" label?
You get the "AI-enhanced" label when you edit an existing image with Magic Edit. Magic Edit covers prompt-based inpaint, outpaint, retouch, restyle, upscale, background removal, object removal, and OCR, with before/after edit history. Because the result is an edited version of a starting image rather than a fresh generation, it's marked as enhanced. The distinction matters for disclosure: it tells viewers the file was altered with AI, not necessarily created entirely by it.
Do both labels carry the same provenance metadata?
Yes. Whether your export is labelled "AI-generated" or "AI-enhanced," it carries the same always-on machine-readable provenance mark in the file's metadata (IPTC, XMP, EXIF for images; FFmpeg and ID3 for audio; FFmpeg metadata for video; R2 object headers on stored objects). The visible label differs to describe what happened to the content; the embedded mark is present either way and is never gated by plan. See why content is labelled for how both labels appear on exports.
Why does the difference matter?
The two labels map to the same EU AI Act transparency duties but communicate honestly about the work. "AI-generated" signals fully synthetic output; "AI-enhanced" signals an AI-modified original. Both satisfy the visible-disclosure side of EU AI Act Article 50. Using the right label for each case keeps your disclosure accurate to what you actually did.
Frequently Asked Questions
If I edit an AI-generated image with Magic Edit, which label do I get?
Once you edit a file with Magic Edit, the export reflects the editing step and carries the "AI-enhanced" label. Both labels still include the same embedded provenance metadata.
Can I choose which label my export gets?
No. The label follows what happened to the content. Fully generated work is labelled "AI-generated with PrismPoster"; Magic Edit work is labelled "AI-enhanced." The label is mandatory and can't be switched off.
Is "AI-enhanced" available on the Free plan?
Magic Edit is part of image editing in PrismPoster, and labelling is mandatory on every plan including Free. For what each plan unlocks, see plans compared or /pricing.
Does either label cost extra credits?
No. Labelling and provenance are part of every export at no extra credit cost. Generation and editing consume credits per type; see credit costs by type.
