EXIF and Metadata Remover
Photos carry hidden metadata: the GPS coordinates where they were taken, your camera or phone model, and timestamps. Drop a JPEG or PNG here to strip those metadata blocks and download a clean copy. The pixels are untouched (no re-compression), and the whole thing runs in your browser, so the image is never uploaded.
How to remove EXIF metadata
- Drag a JPEG or PNG onto the box, or browse to pick one.
- See which metadata blocks were found and removed.
- Download the cleaned copy, safe to share publicly.
Examples
Clean a phone photo before posting
vacation.jpg (with GPS and camera EXIF)
vacation-clean.jpg, GPS and camera data removed, pixels unchanged
Frequently asked questions
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. The file is rewritten entirely in your browser and the cleaned copy is generated locally. Nothing is uploaded, which is what makes this safe for private photos.
Does removing metadata reduce image quality?
No. This is lossless. Only the metadata segments are removed; the compressed pixel data is copied through byte for byte, so the image looks identical.
What exactly gets removed?
For JPEG, the EXIF/XMP, IPTC/Photoshop, and comment segments (this is where GPS, camera model, and edit history live). For PNG, the text, EXIF, and timestamp chunks. The color profile and image data are kept.
Which formats are supported?
JPEG and PNG, the two formats that carry this kind of metadata. Other formats are not modified.
Why should I remove EXIF before sharing?
EXIF often includes the exact GPS location a photo was taken and identifying camera details. Stripping it protects your privacy when posting images publicly.
