About the EXIF Remover
Protect your privacy by stripping EXIF metadata — including GPS coordinates, camera model, and timestamps — from photos before you share them. This free EXIF remover re-encodes your image locally, so it never gets uploaded and no one sees the original.
Why this tool is useful
- Stop accidentally leaking your location via photo metadata.
- Share images without exposing your device or camera details.
- Reassuring for journalists, activists, and everyday privacy.
How it works (client-side)
- Drop or pick a photo (JPEG, PNG, or WebP).
- Click Clean — the image is redrawn to a blank canvas.
- Download the metadata-free result; the original never uploads.
Frequently asked questions
Does removing EXIF reduce image quality?
The image is re-encoded, so there may be minor recompression. Visual quality stays essentially the same at high quality settings.
What metadata is removed?
GPS, camera make/model, timestamps, software, and other EXIF fields are stripped by re-drawing the pixels only.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. Processing happens fully in your browser; no server ever sees the image.
