About this tool
Every photo from a phone or camera carries an invisible passenger: EXIF metadata recording the exact GPS coordinates, the device model, the date and time, and sometimes software history. Share the file as-is and you may be publishing where you live or work. This EXIF Remover strips that metadata cleanly before a photo leaves your hands. Drop in JPEG images and the tool decodes each one and re-encodes the pure pixels through the canvas, which carries no metadata at all — no GPS, no camera serial, no timestamps — while keeping visual quality high with an adjustable quality setting. A report shows which metadata fields were present in the original so you can see exactly what would have leaked. Batch processing handles whole albums at once. Because everything runs locally in your browser, the tool is itself privacy-safe: your photos are never uploaded to anyone's server, including ours. Make it a habit before posting to forums, marketplaces or anywhere strangers can download the original file.
How to use EXIF Remover
- Drop one or more JPEG photos into the tool.
- Review the metadata report showing what each file contained.
- Press Clean images to re-encode them without metadata.
- Download the stripped photos, individually or as a batch.
Frequently asked questions
What metadata does EXIF contain?
Typically GPS coordinates, camera and lens model, exposure settings, date and time, and sometimes software and serial numbers.
Does stripping EXIF reduce image quality?
The image is re-encoded once at high quality; any loss is visually negligible. Pixel dimensions are unchanged.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Processing happens entirely in your browser — the photos never leave your device.
Which formats are supported?
JPEG, the format that carries EXIF. PNG files have no EXIF block in practice and pass through cleanly.
