Remove Image Metadata (EXIF Remover)

Protect your privacy by removing hidden metadata — GPS coordinates, device model, dates, editing history — from photos before posting or sending them.

How to use

  1. Drop one or more photos.
  2. Click Remove metadata.
  3. Download the clean copies.

How it works

The tool redraws each image's pixels onto a canvas and saves a brand-new file. Only the image itself is written: EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC, maker notes and embedded thumbnails are left behind. The browser applies the photo's orientation first, so clean copies still display the right way up.

JPEGs are re-encoded at quality 95, which is visually lossless.

Examples

Selling online
Remove GPS data from photos of an item you're selling so buyers can't see your home location.

Frequently asked questions

Is the image quality affected?

Only by a high-quality re-encode (95%), which is not visible.

How can I check the result?

Drop the clean file into the Image Metadata Viewer: it should report no metadata.
