Remove EXIF data from photos
See and remove hidden metadata from your photos: GPS location, camera model, date taken and more. JPG, PNG and WebP are cleaned losslessly, with no loss of quality.
Private: your images are processed on your device and never uploaded.
How to remove metadata from a photo
- Add photos. Drop in one or many. We show every hidden field and a clear warning if a GPS location is embedded.
- Review what’s inside. Expand each section to see camera details, settings, dates, location and editing history.
- Remove metadata. Click “Remove metadata” on one photo, or “Remove all metadata” for a ZIP of clean copies.
What does photo metadata reveal?
Most photos carry EXIF, XMP and IPTC metadata. It can include the exact GPS coordinates where the photo was taken (often your home), the date and time, the phone or camera make, model and serial number, the editing software, and sometimes your name. Some social networks strip this when you post, but email, messaging apps sending “documents”, cloud links, marketplaces and many websites pass it along untouched.
Lossless removal
For JPG, PNG and WebP files we remove the metadata blocks directly without re-compressing the image, so quality is exactly the same and the file usually gets a little smaller. Colour profiles are kept so colours stay accurate, and you can keep the orientation flag so photos aren’t shown sideways. HEIC photos are saved as a clean JPG.

Frequently asked questions
Does removing EXIF data reduce image quality?
No. For JPG, PNG and WebP the image data is untouched; only the metadata blocks are removed.
Do Facebook, Instagram or WhatsApp remove location data?
Most major social networks strip GPS data from photos they publish. But files sent as documents, by email, through cloud links, or on many websites and marketplaces keep it. Cleaning photos yourself is the safe option.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Every image is processed inside your browser using WebAssembly. Nothing is sent over the internet, which also makes it fast and safe for private photos.
Why keep the orientation?
Phones often store photos sideways and use an orientation flag to display them correctly. Keeping only that flag stops your cleaned photos from appearing rotated, and it reveals nothing about you.
How do I stop my phone adding location to photos?
On iPhone go to Settings › Privacy & Security › Location Services › Camera and choose “Never”. On Android open the Camera app settings and turn off “Location tags” or “Save location”.
