Click Remove Metadata & Download on any photo (lossless — zero quality change for JPGs), or use Remove from All to clean an entire batch into a ZIP. You can also export the full metadata report as JSON or CSV. Everything runs locally in your browser; your photos never leave your device.
What Is EXIF Metadata?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is hidden data your camera or phone embeds inside every photo: the device used, exposure settings, date and time, editing software, and very often the precise GPS location where the picture was taken. Social platforms strip some of it, but emailed, messaged, or directly uploaded photos usually keep everything — which means anyone with the file can discover where you live, work, or travel. This tool reveals exactly what your photos are leaking and removes it losslessly, without re-compressing or degrading the image.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does removing EXIF data reduce image quality?
No. In default lossless mode the tool only deletes the metadata segments of the file — the actual image pixels are copied byte-for-byte, so quality is 100% identical and the file gets slightly smaller.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
Never. The entire viewer and remover runs in your browser using JavaScript. Your images stay on your device, which makes the tool safe even for sensitive or confidential photos.
Which formats are supported?
JPG/JPEG, PNG, and WebP are fully supported for both viewing and lossless removal. For other formats, the optional re-encode mode converts the image through a clean canvas, which also produces a metadata-free file.
Can this tool show where a photo was taken?
Yes — if the photo contains GPS tags, you'll see latitude, longitude, and altitude in decimal form plus a one-click Google Maps link showing the exact spot.
What is the difference between lossless strip and re-encode?
Lossless strip removes metadata blocks without touching pixels (best quality). Re-encode redraws the image on a canvas at your chosen quality — useful when you also want to bake in the correct rotation or normalize an unusual file.
Does it remove IPTC and XMP data too?
Yes. The remover strips EXIF, XMP, IPTC/Photoshop blocks, PNG text chunks, and WebP EXIF/XMP chunks — every common metadata container, not just basic EXIF.
