Remove EXIF Data from Photos
See the hidden metadata in your photo — GPS location, camera, date — then download a clean copy with it all stripped out. No uploads; everything happens on your device.
What is EXIF data — and why remove it?
Most photos carry hidden EXIF metadata: the camera and lens, the date and time, settings like ISO and shutter speed, and — most sensitively — the GPS coordinates of where the picture was taken. When you post or send a photo, that data can travel with it, quietly revealing your home, workplace, or routine. Removing EXIF before sharing protects your privacy.
How to remove EXIF metadata
- Drop your photo above. The tool instantly reads and shows you the metadata it found, with GPS flagged in orange.
- Click Remove metadata & download. The image is re-encoded locally, which strips every EXIF tag while keeping the picture itself unchanged.
- Share the clean copy instead of the original — it carries no location, camera, or date data.
Frequently asked questions
Is my photo uploaded to read the metadata?
No. The metadata is read in your browser with the open-source exifr library, and the clean copy is produced with an HTML <canvas>. Nothing is uploaded — no server, no account.
Does removing EXIF change how the photo looks?
No visible change. Re-encoding applies the original rotation so the picture stays upright, and at high quality the pixels look the same — only the hidden tags are gone.
Which formats are supported?
JPG, PNG, and WebP. EXIF is most common in JPGs straight from a phone or camera; the clean copy is saved in the same format you uploaded.
