Your image is never uploaded. Metadata is stripped locally in your browser.

Why remove metadata?

Protect privacy before you share.

Image metadata can reveal more than you intend: GPS coordinates, camera serial numbers, capture time and editing software. Whether you want to delete metadata, strip EXIF or remove GPS from photos — cleaning files before posting, emailing or delivering reduces privacy risk.

What gets removed

EXIF, GPS & more.

This tool re-encodes your image without embedded metadata — typically EXIF camera data, GPS coordinates, IPTC captions and XMP blocks. The visible pixels stay the same; only invisible metadata is deleted.

Delete vs. remove

Different words, same result.

People search for "delete metadata", "remove EXIF" or "strip image metadata" — all mean the same thing: drop technical data from a JPG, WebP or PNG without changing the visible photo. This tool handles every variant in one step.

When to use it

Before public sharing.

Social posts, forum uploads, portfolio previews, client handoffs without location data, or any file you send by email or messenger. Check first with the EXIF viewer, then clean here.

How it works

Delete metadata in your browser.

Upload JPG, WebP or PNG, delete metadata and download the cleaned file. No account, no server upload. Processing happens entirely on your device — ideal when you need to remove photo metadata quickly without desktop software.

Step 01

Choose file(s)

Drag and drop or pick one or more images from your computer or phone.

Step 02

Delete metadata

The tool strips EXIF, GPS and IPTC data by re-encoding the image.

Step 03

Download & verify

Save the cleaned file and optionally re-check with the EXIF viewer.

Privacy tips

Beyond stripping EXIF.

Do not rely on social platforms
Instagram and Facebook often strip metadata — but direct file transfer, email and cloud links may still send the original with full EXIF.
Export settings in Lightroom
Use “Remove Location Info” or minimise metadata on export. Run the export through this tool for an extra safety layer before delivery.
Limitations

What this tool does not replace.

  • • RAW and HEIC files are not supported — export a JPG first
  • • Visible content (faces, licence plates, backgrounds) is not altered
  • • Re-encoding JPEG/WebP applies light compression — quality stays high (92 %)
  • • For legal proof of authorship, keep an original with metadata in your archive
