Remove EXIF and GPS Metadata

EXIF is metadata that cameras and phones embed inside image files. It typically records the GPS coordinates where the photo was taken, the camera make, model and serial number, the exact capture time, and the software used to edit it. Removing it prevents that information from travelling with the photo when you share it.

Compressed image data is copied without re-encoding. Removing orientation or color-related metadata can still change how some viewers display the image, so check the result.

Selected file contents are processed in your browser without being sent to an application upload endpoint. Loading the site, fonts or processing libraries may still require network requests.

JPEG, PNG and WebP. For JPEG we remove the APP1 (EXIF and XMP), APP13 (IPTC) and APP14 segments plus comment blocks. For PNG we remove tEXt, iTXt, zTXt, eXIf and tIME chunks. For WebP we remove the EXIF and XMP chunks and correct the container length.

Not currently. HEIC stores metadata inside a nested box structure that requires rewriting internal offsets, and a cleaned HEIC would still be unopenable in Chrome and Firefox. If you have HEIC photos, convert them to JPG first and then clean the result.

The tool removes the metadata blocks it supports, not every possible metadata field in every file. It does not selectively preserve individual tags. Visible names, addresses or other information inside the picture remain unchanged.

Drop the cleaned file back into this tool - it should report that the photo is clean. For independent confirmation, run exiftool on the file from a terminal, or check the file properties in your operating system.

You can process up to 20 files at a time, each up to 50MB. These limits exist only to keep your browser responsive, not to push you towards a paid plan - there is no paid plan.

Some do, some do not, and their behaviour changes without notice. Even platforms that strip metadata from the public version may retain the original internally. Cleaning the file before you upload it is the only approach that does not depend on someone else's policy.
