Remove Image Metadata
Strip EXIF, GPS location, and camera data from your photos before you share them. Up to 10 at once, and because it runs entirely in your browser, your images — and the private data inside them — never leave your device.
Why remove metadata before sharing?
Every photo your phone or camera takes carries hidden EXIF data — and it often includes the exact GPS coordinates of where the photo was taken, plus the date, time, and device model. A holiday snap can quietly reveal your home address; a photo sold online can expose where you live.
Large social networks usually strip this on upload, but files shared by email, messaging apps, or direct download frequently keep it. Removing it yourself first means your location and device data are gone no matter where the file travels. This tool does it without uploading anything — the cleaning happens on your own device, so the private data is never sent anywhere in the first place.
How to remove metadata
- Upload your images (JPG, PNG, or WebP) — up to 10 at once.
- The tool instantly redraws each one, dropping all EXIF, GPS, and camera data.
- Tap Download on each cleaned file.
Remove Metadata — FAQ
How do I remove metadata from a photo?
Upload your image (up to 10 at once) and download the cleaned copy. The tool redraws each image, which produces a fresh file with no EXIF, GPS, or camera data attached. The visible picture is unchanged.
What is EXIF data, and why remove it?
EXIF is hidden data cameras and phones save inside a photo — often including the exact GPS location where it was taken, the date and time, and the device model. Sharing a photo with EXIF can reveal where you live or were, which is why stripping it before posting protects your privacy.
Does this remove GPS location from my photo?
Yes. GPS coordinates are stored in the EXIF block, and redrawing the image through the browser drops the entire block, so the location is removed along with the other camera data.
Does removing metadata change how the image looks?
No. Only the hidden data is removed — the pixels are preserved, so the photo looks exactly the same. The cleaned file is often slightly smaller because the metadata is gone.
Do social networks already remove EXIF?
Most large platforms strip EXIF when you upload, but not all do, and files you send by email, messaging apps, or share directly often keep it. Removing it yourself first guarantees your location and device data are gone wherever the file ends up.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No — and that is the whole point. This tool runs entirely inside your browser. Your image, and its metadata, never leave your device.
Other tools
Need a smaller file? Use the compress tool. Changing format? Try JPG to PNG or the WebP converter — those also drop metadata as they convert.
