EXIF Metadata Remover

Photos carry hidden metadata: GPS coordinates, camera model, timestamps. Drop your images and download clean copies with all of it stripped out.

01 / Fast steps

  1. Drop or paste your JPG or PNG photos.
  2. Metadata is stripped automatically.
  3. Download the clean copies — pixels untouched.

02 / Best for

  • Remove GPS location from photos before posting them online.
  • Strip camera details and timestamps from images sent to strangers.
  • Clean photos for marketplaces, forums and social media.

03 / Why here

  • Lossless: the container is rewritten but pixels are never recompressed, so quality is byte-for-byte identical.
  • Everything happens in your browser — a metadata remover that uploads your photo would defeat its own purpose.

04 / Keep in mind

  • ICC color profiles are intentionally kept, since removing them would shift colors.
  • Metadata added by platforms after upload (e.g. social networks) is outside your control.

Questions, answered.

01What hidden data do photos contain?

JPG photos typically embed EXIF metadata: GPS coordinates of where the photo was taken, camera and phone model, exact timestamp, and sometimes editing history via XMP and IPTC blocks.

02Does removing metadata reduce image quality?

No. This tool rewrites the file structure without touching the compressed image data, so the pixels are exactly the same — only the hidden metadata is gone.

03Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No. The stripping happens entirely in your browser. Nothing is transmitted, which is the whole point of a privacy tool.

04Is EXIF Remover free to use?

Yes, EXIF Remover is completely free, with no sign-up and no usage limits. It runs entirely in your browser, so your data never leaves your device.
