EXIF Metadata Remover
Strip all embedded metadata — camera details, timestamps, GPS location — from your photos before sharing them.
Not sure what’s actually in your photo first? Check the metadata viewer to see before you clean.
Frequently asked questions
- How does this actually remove the metadata?
- Each photo is redrawn onto a blank canvas and re-encoded from scratch. Canvas pixel data never carries EXIF, XMP, or ICC profile bytes, so the re-encoded copy has none of the original metadata by construction — there's no separate "strip" step that could leave something behind. Orientation still comes out correct because your browser already auto-rotates the photo's pixels to match its orientation tag before the canvas ever sees them, so the redraw just draws what's already the right way up.
- Will the cleaned photo look any different?
- PNG photos round-trip losslessly. JPEG and WebP photos are re-encoded at a high quality setting (92%), which is visually indistinguishable from the original for almost all photos but is, technically, a second lossy compression pass — if you need pixel-perfect originals for archival purposes, keep a copy of the untouched file.
- Can I process more than one photo at once?
- Yes — select multiple files and each is cleaned independently. You can download them one at a time or all together as a single .zip file.
