Strip GPS coordinates, camera serial numbers, timestamps, and every other embedded tag from your photos. The pixels are left completely untouched — we rewrite the file's metadata blocks rather than re-encoding the image.

One focused tool — no clutter, no watermarks, no upload queue.
We rebuild the file container and drop the metadata segments, leaving the compressed image data byte-for-byte identical. Your photo is not re-encoded, so it loses nothing at all.
Before you download, the tool lists the tags it found and cleared — GPS, camera body, timestamps, software — so you can verify the sensitive fields are actually gone.
An optional switch preserves the embedded ICC profile so colours still render correctly, while every identifying tag is still removed. Turn it off for maximum stripping.
JPEG APP segments, PNG text and eXIf chunks, and WebP EXIF, XMP and ICC chunks are each handled natively, with a safe canvas fallback for anything else.
Strip metadata from an entire folder of photos in one pass and download the sanitised set as a single ZIP before you publish or share them.
Sending photos to a server to remove their location data defeats the point. Here the file is rewritten in your browser's memory and saved straight back to your device.
No account, no installs, no waiting on a server.
Drag in one image or a whole batch. Nothing is transmitted — the files are read straight from your disk.
See the metadata each photo carries, including GPS coordinates and camera details, and choose whether to keep the colour profile.
Save the stripped images individually or as a ZIP. The pixels are unchanged; only the metadata is gone.
What EXIF removal protects you from, and why a lossless strip is better than re-saving the picture.
A single photo can disclose the street you took it on, the exact minute you were there, the phone you own, and its serial number. Posted to a listing, a forum, or your own website, that is a surprising amount of personal context attached to what looks like an ordinary picture. Removing metadata before sharing costs you nothing visually and closes off that whole category of accidental disclosure.
The common way to clear metadata is to open a photo and save a copy, since most editors drop unknown tags. The catch is that re-saving a JPEG re-compresses it, and every re-compression discards a little more detail. This exif data remover avoids that entirely by operating on the file structure: it walks the JPEG segments or PNG chunks, copies the image data verbatim, and simply omits the metadata blocks.
PNG files carry tEXt, zTXt, and iTXt chunks that editors happily fill with software names, comments, and even full XMP records, plus an eXIf chunk in newer files. WebP wraps EXIF, XMP, and ICC data in RIFF chunks. Embedded thumbnails inside JPEG EXIF are particularly awkward because they can preserve an uncropped or unedited version of the picture. All of these are handled here, not just the obvious camera tags.
If you upload a geotagged photo to a website to have its location removed, the coordinates have already been shared with that website. It is a contradiction at the heart of most online metadata removers. This tool rewrites the file inside your browser using the File and Blob APIs, so the geotagged original never travels anywhere and the only copy that exists afterwards is the clean one on your disk.
The practical details, including how your privacy is protected.
Not with this tool. Rather than decoding and re-encoding your photo — which is what most metadata removers do, and which always loses a little quality — we rewrite the file container and simply omit the metadata segments. The compressed image data is copied across untouched, so the visible result is bit-for-bit identical to the original.
Yes. The GPS directory is one of the metadata blocks that gets dropped, so latitude, longitude, altitude, and GPS timestamps are all gone from the exported file. You can confirm it by running the cleaned image through the EXIF viewer on this site — the location section will be empty.
It is a sensible habit for anything you publish yourself, such as on a personal website, a forum, a marketplace listing, or a classified ad, because those platforms often serve the original file untouched. Large social networks usually strip metadata on upload anyway, but relying on them means trusting that they always will, and that they have not already recorded what was in there.
EXIF (camera, lens, exposure, timestamps, serial numbers), GPS coordinates, IPTC captions and credits, XMP records including editing history, comment blocks, and embedded thumbnails, which frequently survive edits and can show an earlier version of the picture. The ICC colour profile is kept by default so colours stay accurate, and you can switch that off if you want everything gone.
No. Everything runs inside your browser tab using the HTML5 Canvas and File APIs. Your photos are read from disk, processed by your own device, and saved straight back to your downloads folder. No file is ever transmitted to us, so there is nothing for us to store, log, or share.
It is completely free with no account, no watermark, and no cap on how many images you process. Because the work happens on your hardware rather than ours, there are no server bills to pass on to you.
Every tool runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded, and nothing costs anything.
