Remove EXIF & metadata from photos
Strip GPS location, camera and timestamps — losslessly, in your browser, nothing uploaded
Removes EXIF metadata — GPS location, camera model and timestamps — from your photo. No settings needed: add a photo, then download the clean copy. JPEG is cleaned losslessly.
What metadata reveals about you
JPEG photos embed EXIF metadata: the GPS coordinates where the picture was taken, the exact date and time, your camera or phone model, and sometimes serial numbers or editing software. Posting or emailing a photo hands all of that to whoever receives it — a home address hidden in a for-sale listing, a location in a "safe" screenshot.
How to remove metadata from a photo
- Add your photo. It is read locally — never sent anywhere.
- The metadata is stripped instantly on your device (EXIF, GPS, camera, timestamps).
- Download the clean copy. For JPEG the pixels are untouched, so there is no quality loss.
Does it remove GPS location?
Yes — GPS is part of the EXIF block, which is removed in full. If you only want to blur or black out part of an image instead, use the redact tool; to watermark a copy before sharing, use the watermark tool.
Frequently asked questions
Does it remove GPS location from my photo?
Yes. GPS coordinates are stored in the EXIF block, which is removed in full — along with the camera model, lens, timestamps and any editing history.
Does removing metadata reduce image quality?
No. For JPEG we delete only the metadata segments and leave the compressed image data untouched, so there is zero quality loss. PNG is re-saved losslessly.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
Never. Everything runs in your browser with the File and Canvas APIs. Open your DevTools Network tab while you use it — you will see no request carrying your image.
Which formats are supported?
JPG/JPEG (lossless metadata strip) and PNG and other common image formats (re-saved without metadata).
Can the metadata be recovered from the clean copy afterwards?
No. The metadata is removed from the downloaded file itself, so it is gone for anyone you share the clean copy with.
