Strip EXIF metadata — GPS location, date, camera model, and editing history — from JPG, PNG, and WebP photos before you share them. The tool shows you exactly what a photo reveals, then removes only the metadata blocks and copies the pixels byte-for-byte, so the cleaned image is pixel-identical to the original. Nothing is uploaded.
What your photos reveal about you
Every photo from a phone or camera carries hidden EXIF metadata: the exact GPS coordinates where it was taken, the date and time, your camera or phone model, and sometimes the editing software you used. Share the file and you share all of that too. Removing the metadata before you post a photo to a marketplace, forum, or classified ad keeps your home address and routines private.
Lossless — your image is never re-encoded
Many EXIF removers redraw the photo onto a canvas and save a new JPG, which recompresses the image and degrades quality. This tool works differently: it removes only the metadata blocks from the file container (EXIF, XMP, IPTC, comments) and copies the pixel data byte-for-byte. The cleaned photo is pixel-identical to the original — just smaller and anonymous. Color profiles are kept so the image still renders correctly.
Do social networks strip EXIF for you?
Facebook, Instagram, and X remove metadata from photos you post — but they read it first, and direct file shares (email, WhatsApp documents, Discord, marketplace listings, your own website) often keep it intact. If the file itself leaves your hands, clean it yourself first.
Frequently asked questions
What is EXIF data?
EXIF is metadata your camera or phone embeds in every photo: GPS coordinates of where it was taken, the date and time, device model, camera settings, and sometimes editing software.
Why should I remove EXIF before sharing a photo?
GPS coordinates in a photo can reveal your home address or workplace. Photos shared as files — email, marketplace listings, WhatsApp documents — often keep this data intact.
Does removing EXIF reduce image quality?
No. This tool removes only the metadata blocks and copies the pixel data unchanged — no re-encoding, no quality loss. Color profiles are kept so the image renders identically.
Is the photo uploaded anywhere?
No — reading and removing metadata happens entirely in your browser.
Which formats are supported?
JPG, PNG, and WebP. For HEIC photos, convert them to JPG first with the HEIC to JPG tool — conversion drops the original metadata container as well.
