Remove Image Metadata

Drop images, or browse
JPG · PNG · WebP & more — GPS and EXIF stripped, pixels untouched

JPEGs are cleaned losslessly — the pixels are byte-for-byte unchanged, only the metadata segments are removed.

About this tool

Every photo your phone takes quietly records where and when it was taken — GPS coordinates precise to a few metres, the exact timestamp, your camera or phone model, and sometimes editing history. Share that photo and you are sharing all of it. This tool strips that metadata out, leaving just the picture.

The irony of most "remove EXIF online" sites is that you upload the very photo whose location you are trying to hide. Here nothing is uploaded: the metadata is read and removed by your own browser, so a photo you are protecting never leaves your device.

How to use

  1. Drop one or more images — each is scanned and any GPS, camera or date metadata it carries is listed.
  2. Press "Remove metadata & download".
  3. A cleaned copy (or a ZIP for several) saves to your device with all metadata gone.

Reading and stripping happen entirely in your browser tab. The photos, and the location data inside them, are never transmitted, stored, or logged anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

Does removing metadata reduce the image quality?

No — JPEG photos are cleaned losslessly: the compressed image data is left byte-for-byte identical and only the metadata segments are removed. Other formats are re-saved without any metadata, keeping full pixel quality.

What exactly gets removed?

EXIF (including GPS location, camera make and model, and capture date), XMP, and IPTC metadata. The visible image is untouched.

Why does it matter for privacy?

A single photo posted online can reveal your home address through its embedded GPS tag, and the timestamp and device details can be used to profile you. Stripping metadata before sharing removes that trail.
