Remove EXIF Data — View & Strip Photo Metadata
See exactly what hidden data your photos carry — camera, timestamp, even GPS location — then strip it out with one click. Everything happens in your browser; your photos are never uploaded.
How to use it
- 1Choose a photo
Drop a JPG or PNG onto the drop zone, or click to select one.
- 2Review the hidden metadata
See the EXIF fields found — camera, date, software and any GPS location — so you know exactly what you’re about to remove.
- 3Download a clean copy
Click download to get a metadata-free version. The pixels are identical; only the hidden data is gone.
What is EXIF data?
Photos quietly store EXIF metadata: the camera and lens, the exact date and time, the settings — and often the GPS coordinates where the shot was taken. Sharing a photo can therefore reveal where you live, work or travelled. This tool shows you that data and removes it.
Lossless and private
Metadata is stripped by editing the file’s structure directly, so your image’s pixels and quality are untouched — there is no re-compression. And because everything runs locally with no upload, the sensitive data never leaves your device in the first place.
Frequently asked questions
Are my photos uploaded to view or remove metadata?
No. Reading and stripping metadata both happen entirely in your browser — your photos never leave your device.
Does removing EXIF reduce image quality?
No. Metadata is removed by editing the file directly, without re-encoding, so the image pixels and quality are exactly preserved.
What metadata is removed?
For JPG, the EXIF, XMP and IPTC segments (camera, date, GPS, software) are removed while the JFIF header is kept. For PNG, the text, EXIF and timestamp chunks are removed.
Why should I remove GPS data from photos?
Photos taken on phones often embed the exact GPS coordinates of where they were captured. Posting them can unintentionally reveal your home, workplace or daily routine — stripping EXIF protects that.
Which formats are supported?
JPG and PNG, the formats that commonly carry EXIF. For HEIC photos from an iPhone, convert them first with the HEIC to JPG tool, then remove the metadata.
