How to Remove Photo Metadata (EXIF)
Choose one or more photos (JPEG, PNG, WebP or HEIC). They are read on your device and never uploaded.
Check what each photo reveals: GPS location, date taken, camera and serial number, software, owner, and any embedded thumbnail. Open the full table to see every field.
Leave 'Keep orientation' on so portrait photos stay upright, then press Remove metadata.
Download the cleaned photo, or all of them as one ZIP. Each file is read again after cleaning to confirm 0 metadata fields are left.
Features
See it before you remove it: GPS coordinates are shown in decimal degrees, next to the date taken, camera make, model and serial number, software, author and captions. Every EXIF, XMP, IPTC and PNG text field is listed in a full table.
Lossless for JPEG, PNG and WebP: Metadata blocks are cut out at the byte level and the image data is copied unchanged, so quality stays the same. The photo is not re-compressed.
Photos stay the right way up: Phones often save portrait photos sideways and add an Orientation tag. The tool can keep that one tag, which holds no location, date or device information, so the photo still displays upright.
Checked after cleaning: Each cleaned file is parsed again from its own bytes, and the page shows how many metadata fields are left, with bytes saved and exactly what was removed.
Frequently asked questions
What metadata is removed?
EXIF (including GPS, camera, serial number and the embedded thumbnail), XMP, IPTC/Photoshop data and JPEG comments. In PNG files: text chunks (tEXt, zTXt, iTXt), eXIf and the tIME timestamp. In WebP files: the EXIF and XMP chunks. Data stored after the end of the image, such as a phone's second image or motion-photo video, is removed too.
Does removing metadata reduce quality?
Not for JPEG, PNG or WebP. Those are cleaned without re-encoding, so the pixels are identical. HEIC photos are different: they are converted to JPEG first, which re-encodes them once and carries no metadata over.
What is kept?
What affects how the image looks: the JFIF header, the ICC colour profile and the Adobe colour-transform marker in JPEG, and colour, transparency, resolution and animation chunks in PNG and WebP. With 'Keep orientation' on, a single Orientation tag is also kept.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Photos are read and cleaned in your browser. The only network request is the optional 'Open in OpenStreetMap' link, which you have to click yourself and which sends the coordinates to openstreetmap.org.
Does this make a photo anonymous?
It removes the metadata stored in the file. It cannot change what is visible in the picture itself, such as faces, street signs or reflections. Check those before sharing.
