EXIF & metadata remover

A photo carries more than its picture — camera model, exact timestamp, editing history and often your GPS location all ride along inside the file unless something strips them out. This remover deletes that metadata by rebuilding the file's byte structure without those segments, which for a JPEG or PNG is pixel-lossless: the picture itself is not re-compressed or re-encoded, only the hidden data is cut away.

  • No upload — files stay on your device
  • Works offline once loaded
  • Free forever, no signup, no watermark

What a photo can quietly reveal

  • The camera or phone model, and often the exact lens used
  • The precise date and time the photo was taken, down to the second
  • GPS coordinates accurate enough to point at a specific house or room
  • The editing software last used to touch the file, and sometimes the editor's name

None of this shows up when you simply look at the picture — it only appears to something that reads the file's raw bytes, which is exactly what most social apps, messaging tools, and photo forums do behind the scenes. Checking and clearing it before you share is the only reliable way to control what a photo says about you beyond what is in the frame.

How to use this tool

  1. Drop 1–50 photos

    JPG and PNG are stripped losslessly; other formats are re-encoded at high quality, which removes metadata as a side effect.

  2. Check what was found

    Each file shows whether metadata was detected before you commit to removing it — an already-clean photo is left alone.

  3. Remove and download

    Tap Remove metadata, then download each cleaned file individually or grab the whole batch with Download all.

Questions people ask

Is stripping metadata lossless?

For JPEG and PNG, yes — the tool removes the metadata segments at the byte level without ever decoding or re-encoding the actual picture, so the pixels are bit-for-bit identical to the original. Other formats fall back to a high-quality canvas re-encode, which removes metadata but is not pixel-identical.

What exactly gets removed?

Camera make and model, lens details, the exact date and time, GPS coordinates, the software that last edited the file, and any embedded comments or Photoshop/IPTC data. A colour profile (ICC), if the photo has one, is kept, since it affects how colours render rather than revealing anything about you.

Can I strip metadata from many photos at once?

Yes — drop up to 50 photos and each one is processed and shown individually, with a badge telling you whether it was stripped losslessly or re-encoded. Download all saves the whole cleaned batch.

Will this make my photos smaller?

A little — metadata is usually a few kilobytes, occasionally more if a large thumbnail or editing history is embedded — but the point of this tool is privacy, not compression. For actually smaller files, pair it with the compress image tool.

Is my photo uploaded anywhere to do this?

No — every photo is read, rewritten and handed back to you as a download entirely inside your browser tab. There is no upload endpoint, and the tool keeps working if you go offline after the page loads.

What if a photo has no metadata to begin with?

It shows an 'already clean' status and is skipped rather than needlessly re-processed — not every photo carries hidden data, particularly ones already shared through an app that strips it.
