Remove image metadata & EXIF online — free, no upload

Remove EXIF, GPS location, XMP and IPTC metadata from JPG, PNG and WebP photos — free, in your browser. No upload, no quality loss; your image never leaves your device.

Drop an image to remove its metadata

What gets removed — and where it happens

  • EXIF: camera model, lens, date & time, exposure settings
  • GPS location — the coordinates of where the photo was taken
  • XMP, IPTC and Photoshop editing history
  • Embedded text comments and other hidden tags

All of this happens in your browser by rewriting the file's bytes. Your photo is never uploaded — unlike most EXIF removers, which send your file to their servers.

Your image pixels are left untouched, so there is no quality loss.

Colour-management data (ICC profile, gamma) is kept so the image still looks correct — that's about rendering, not privacy.

How to use this tool

How to use this tool

  1. Add your image

    Drag and drop a photo, or pick one from your device. JPG, PNG and WebP are supported.

  2. We strip the metadata

    EXIF (camera, date, GPS location), XMP, IPTC and text comments are cut out of the file in your browser. The image pixels are not re-encoded, so quality stays identical.

  3. Download the clean image

    Download a copy with the private metadata removed. It's the same image, just without the hidden data — and nothing was uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. The metadata is removed entirely in your browser by editing the file's bytes directly. Your image never leaves your device — unlike most EXIF removers, which upload your file to their servers.

Does removing metadata reduce image quality?

No. We don't re-compress or re-encode the picture. We surgically cut out only the metadata segments (EXIF, XMP, IPTC, comments) and keep the original image data byte-for-byte, so the pixels are identical to the original.

What exactly gets removed?

For most photos this is EXIF data — camera model, date and time, exposure settings, and often your GPS location — plus XMP, IPTC and embedded text comments. We keep colour-management data (ICC profile, gamma, colour space) so the image still looks correct; that's about rendering, not privacy.

Which formats are supported?

JPG, PNG and WebP. HEIC, TIFF, AVIF and GIF aren't supported yet — rather than hand back a file we didn't actually clean, we tell you the format isn't supported.
