Remove EXIF Data

Client-side

Strip EXIF, GPS location, camera details and other hidden metadata from photos without losing quality.

Runs 100% in your browser · If you allow preferences, this browser saves the orientation and colour-profile options — never your images

JPG, PNG, WebP · up to 50 MB per file

Your images are processed in your browser and are not uploaded. You can also paste an image with Ctrl+V.

Lossless: the image data is copied byte for byte, only the metadata blocks are removed. Works with JPG, PNG and WebP.

What does Remove EXIF Data do?

Every photo taken with a phone or a camera carries hidden information called metadata. Besides harmless details such as the exposure time, it often includes the exact GPS location where the picture was taken, the date and time, the camera or phone model and serial-like identifiers, the editing software and sometimes the author's name. When you share the original file – on a marketplace, a forum, by e-mail or in a messaging app that keeps files intact – anyone can read that data. This tool removes it before you share.

What gets removed

  • JPG: EXIF (including GPS), XMP, IPTC, comments, maker notes and other application blocks.
  • PNG: eXIf chunks, text fields (tEXt, iTXt, zTXt, including XMP) and the modification time.
  • WebP: EXIF and XMP chunks, with the header flags updated to match.

Before cleaning, the tool lists what it found in each file – for example the camera model, the date and the GPS coordinates – so you can see exactly what you were about to share.

Lossless: quality never changes

Unlike tools that re-save the photo, this one rewrites the file's own bytes and simply leaves the metadata blocks out. The compressed image data is copied unchanged, so the picture is pixel-for-pixel identical and the file only gets a bit lighter. Two optional items are kept by default because they contain no personal data: the orientation tag (phones store rotation as metadata, so without it some photos would appear sideways; the tool re-adds a tiny block holding only that value) and the colour profile, which keeps colours accurate.

Private by design

It would make little sense to protect your location by uploading the photo to someone else's server. Here the whole process runs in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere.

How to remove metadata

  1. Drop one or more JPG, PNG or WebP files.
  2. Decide whether to keep the orientation and the colour profile.
  3. Click Remove metadata, review what was found and download the clean files.

Frequently asked questions

Do social networks remove EXIF already?

Most large networks strip it from public posts, but e-mail, cloud links, forums and “send as file” options usually do not.

Can removed data be recovered?

No. The clean copy does not contain it at all. Your original file is not modified, so keep it if you need the data later.
