Remove metadata before sharing

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata saved inside a photo. It can include where and when the photo was taken, the camera used, and other details you might prefer to keep to yourself. Removing metadata creates a cleaned image file; it doesn't hide anything visible in the picture.

  1. Choose your photos

    Add JPEG, PNG, or WebP images. Nothing leaves your browser.

  2. Remove the metadata

    Remove saved camera details and location without resizing or recompressing the photo.

  3. Download the cleaned copy

    Check the preview, then save the cleaned image. Your original file is never overwritten.

Common questions

About EXIF removal,
image quality, and privacy.

How do I remove EXIF data from a photo?

Choose a JPEG, PNG, or WebP image, review the options, and select Remove metadata. Download the cleaned copy, or on a phone use Save or share to put it in your photo library. Your original file stays unchanged, and your photo is never uploaded.

What metadata does this remove?

It removes the original EXIF data, including GPS location, camera details, capture dates, and serial numbers. It also removes XMP, IPTC, comments, embedded thumbnails, and other nonessential metadata. If Keep photo rotation is enabled, a new EXIF block can retain only the orientation tag. Keep color profile retains the embedded color profile; turn it off to remove that too. Image dimensions, compression information, and display settings still exist because they are needed to read the image.

Will removing metadata reduce image quality?

The photo isn't resized or recompressed. Transparency and PNG/WebP animation are preserved. The color profile is kept by default so colors look the same. If you turn off Keep color profile, colors may display differently, especially in iPhone photos. Turning off Keep photo rotation can also change which way a photo appears.

Does the cleaned image contain any EXIF?

With Keep photo rotation turned off, no EXIF block is retained. When it is on, only a non-default orientation tag is rebuilt if the image needs it. Camera, location, dates, and other original EXIF fields are still removed. Basic file properties such as dimensions remain visible in any metadata viewer.

Can I remove metadata from HEIC, TIFF, or RAW files?

This remover currently supports JPEG, PNG, and WebP, including animated PNG and WebP. HEIC, HEIF, TIFF, AVIF, GIF, and RAW removal are not supported. You can inspect many of those formats in the EXIF viewer.

Will this make my photo anonymous?

Removing metadata reduces hidden information, but the image itself can still reveal faces, addresses, landmarks, or other identifying details. This does not remove watermarks, redact pixels, or sanitize information hidden inside image pixels. Downloads use a generic filename rather than carrying over your original filename.

Changelog

Updates to the viewer, EXIF remover, and developer tools.

  1. Latest

    A cleaner layout, plus sharing and privacy check fixes

    • The viewer and remover have a simpler layout with larger, easier-to-read text and fewer decorative details.
    • Share links include the optional photo preview again when it passes the safety check. Previously every preview was left out.
    • The privacy check and location section now find GPS coordinates saved only in XMP, and Windows author names.
    • The EXIF remover accepts JPEGs saved with a .jfif extension.
    • Camera names no longer repeat the brand, so a Nikon D850 reads "NIKON D850".

  2. Privacy check and better cleaned copies

    • A privacy check in the viewer lists GPS location, serial numbers, names, and capture time found in your photo, and can make a cleaned copy on your device in one step.
    • The EXIF remover keeps the color profile by default, so cleaned iPhone photos keep their colors. You can still remove it.
    • On phones, Save or share sends cleaned photos to the share sheet so you can save them to your photo library. Download all saves a whole batch.
    • Metadata is easier to read. On phones the table scrolls with the page and search stays in reach; on larger screens it fills the space beside your photo. Tag names such as ISO Speed Ratings are spaced correctly.
    • Shared links now preview the camera and settings when posted in chats and social apps.

  3. EXIF remover and an updated viewer

    • A new EXIF remover cleans JPEG, PNG, and WebP photos locally, with no uploads or image recompression.
    • A redesigned viewer with dark mode, easier-to-read mobile metadata, larger touch controls, and exports above the table.
    • Search metadata, switch between photos, and copy or download Markdown, JSON, and CSV.
    • Updated EXIF explanations and instructions for viewing and removing photo metadata.
    • Clearer copy, export, and sharing notifications that can be dismissed or swiped away.
    • See capture time and optional device images. Preview exactly what you'll publish with improved sharing controls.
    • A versioned metadata API, clearer agent instructions, helpful missing-page responses, and an official npm CLI for local inspection and public shares.
