What is Image Metadata & EXIF Remover?
This tool scans and strips hidden metadata from your photos including GPS coordinates, camera make and model, timestamps, lens and exposure data, and other embedded private information. Protect your privacy before sharing images online.
How to Remove Image Metadata in 3 Steps
Upload Your Image
Drop your photo onto the uploader. The tool reads it entirely in your browser — nothing is sent to any server.
Review Hidden Data
Expand metadata sections to see GPS location, camera info, timestamps, and every hidden field before deciding to strip them.
Remove & Download
Click remove, verify the cleaned result is confirmed free of sensitive metadata, and download your sanitized image.
Privacy Protection
Photos can leak GPS coordinates, camera serial numbers, and timestamps. Stripping this data protects your privacy before sharing.
100% Browser-Based
Your images are processed entirely in your browser using canvas redraw. Nothing is uploaded — your files never leave your device.
Deep Scan & Verify
The tool scans GPS, EXIF, IPTC, XMP, and PNG text chunks — then re-reads the cleaned output to confirm every sensitive field was removed.
Multi-Format Support
Works with JPEG, PNG, and WebP. Binary-level stripping preserves quality, with a canvas fallback for full compatibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
What metadata is removed?
The tool removes GPS coordinates and location data, camera make and model, lens information, serial numbers, date and time taken, ISO and exposure settings, software history, artist and copyright info, IPTC metadata, XMP data, and thumbnail previews.
What metadata is preserved?
File Information (file name, type, size) and Image Properties (dimensions) are preserved as they are essential for the image file.
Why would someone want to remove image metadata?
GPS coordinates can reveal your home address, camera serial numbers can identify you, and timestamps expose your schedule. Removing metadata protects your location privacy and prevents information leakage when sharing photos on social media, forums, or email.
Can I remove metadata without losing image quality?
Yes. The tool uses binary-level stripping for JPEG, PNG, and WebP files — this removes only the metadata chunks while keeping pixel data untouched. Only the canvas fallback is lossy, and that only activates if binary stripping is unavailable.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. All processing happens locally in your browser via canvas redraw, which automatically strips all EXIF, GPS, IPTC, and XMP data. Your files never leave your device.
