Remove Metadata from Photos
Strip EXIF, GPS location, camera details and editing history from any photo — losslessly, in your browser, before you share it.
When you post a photo, you may be posting your home address with it. Phone cameras write GPS coordinates, timestamps, device model and even editing history into every file. This photo metadata remover strips all of it — EXIF, XMP, IPTC and embedded thumbnails — and gives you a clean copy to share.
For JPG, PNG and WebP the metadata segments are removed at byte level, so your pixels are untouched: no re-compression, no quality loss, same resolution. For HEIC and other formats the image is losslessly decoded and re-saved without any metadata. Either way the whole process happens inside your browser — the photo is never uploaded, which is the only honest way to run a privacy tool.
Drop a photo, review what’s inside with the built-in metadata viewer, then click Remove metadata & download. The clean file downloads instantly with -clean added to its name.
Frequently asked questions
How do I remove metadata from a photo?
Drop the photo into the tool above, review the metadata it finds, and click “Remove metadata & download”. A clean copy without EXIF, GPS or camera data downloads immediately.
Does removing metadata reduce image quality?
No. For JPG, PNG and WebP the tool removes only the metadata segments of the file — the compressed image data itself is copied byte-for-byte, so quality and resolution are identical.
Which metadata gets removed?
EXIF (camera, settings, dates, GPS), XMP (editing history, AI-generation tags), IPTC (captions, credits), ICC colour profiles and comment blocks. The visible image is untouched.
Are my photos uploaded to your server?
Never. Reading and cleaning both happen locally in your browser with JavaScript. There is no upload endpoint at all — check the network tab if you like.
