Remove Image Metadata
Strip EXIF and metadata from images, in your browser.
Add images to strip their EXIF and metadata
Drop one or more images on the left and click Remove metadata. Each is re-encoded fresh so GPS, camera, and date tags are gone — all in your browser, nothing uploaded.
Runs entirely in your browserRemove image metadata, locally
Photos carry hidden metadata — GPS coordinates, camera model, the exact date and time, and more. This tool strips all of it by decoding each image and re-encoding it fresh on a canvas, which keeps only the pixels and drops every metadata tag. Choose to keep the same format or convert while you clean. Because the whole point is privacy, everything runs in your browser and your photos are never uploaded to any server.
Common questions
What metadata gets removed?
All of it — EXIF (camera, lens, exposure, date/time), GPS location, orientation, thumbnails, and any XMP/IPTC tags. Re-encoding the pixels on a canvas produces a brand-new file that carries no metadata at all.
Does removing metadata change how the image looks?
The pixels are preserved, so it looks the same. One subtle exception: an orientation tag is applied and then dropped, so the cleaned image is stored already-rotated the right way up.
Why does this matter for privacy?
Photos from phones and cameras often embed the exact GPS location and time they were taken. Sharing them online can reveal where you live or were. Stripping metadata removes that hidden information.
Which formats are supported?
JPG, PNG, and WebP. You can keep the original format or convert while cleaning. Note that re-encoding a JPG applies its lossy compression once more.
Are my images uploaded?
No. Everything happens on a canvas in your browser tab — which is exactly why it is private. Nothing is sent to a server, so it works offline.
